Acceptance_Letter_May_2020.pdf

This is an acceptance letter from the Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) dated May 19, 2020, notifying applicants of their acceptance or rejection into the OUC Preferred Contractor Network (PCN) Program. The PCN Program solicits qualified contractors to provide services across 17 technical disciplines for OUC's residential and commercial customers in Orange County and Orlando, Florida. The disciplines include Advanced Water Leak Detection, Backflow Assembly Installation/Testing/Repair, Electrical, HVAC/Duct Repair, Indoor Lighting, Infrared Thermography, Insulation, Mechanical & Controls, Plumbing, Solar Photovoltaic Systems, and others. Seven contractors were accepted into the 2020 enrollment cycle: Aaron's Backflow, Constructive Resources Inc. (DBA Superior Solar Systems), Franks Air Conditioning, Mechanical Services, Utility Partners of America, Bernhard MCC LLC, and CRD Electrical Services LLC (DBA Ace Solves it All). Applicants not selected were notified that they did not meet the program's requirements and were encouraged to pursue future opportunities with OUC.

Contractors accepted into the PCN Program must maintain appropriate business licenses, carry specified insurance coverage, provide professional references, and submit to criminal background checks. A $250 registration fee per discipline is required to apply. OUC reserves the right to request contractors to occasionally perform work for OUC customers, though no work is guaranteed and work distribution is not required to be even among contractors. The program does not guarantee ongoing or consistent work assignments and OUC may terminate agreements at any time, particularly if contractors receive persistent negative customer feedback. Contractors must comply with applicable OUC customer incentive programs related to their disciplines and maintain high levels of service quality and technical expertise.
