This bid items spreadsheet pertains to Invitation for Bids (IFB) 25-067UM-HK-IFB issued by the City of Plant City, Florida, for a Communication Tower Electrical and Fiber Improvement project. The project encompasses six primary line items: Mobilization/Demobilization, Bond and Insurance, Electrical Service and Generator installation, Radio Cabinet and Miscellaneous Site Work at the tower, OT/IT Cabling with Duct Bank and Telecommunications Rooms, and a $10,000 Project Allowance. All items are priced as lump sum (LS) contracts with a quantity of one unit each. The proposal submission deadline is November 13, 2025, with a question submission deadline of November 3, 2025. Contractors must achieve substantial completion within 210 days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at $500 per day for failure to meet this deadline. Qualified bidders must demonstrate a minimum of three years of electrical service work experience and five years of fiber optic installation experience.

The bid structure establishes a total project allowance of $10,000 as the baseline pricing component, though the complete contract value will be determined by unit pricing provided by bidders for the five primary work items. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including proof of business qualification, W-9 forms, insurance certificates, references, and compliance documents related to immigration verification, drug-free workplace standards, and public entity crime regulations. The project prioritizes maintaining continuous operations of the city's communication tower and network infrastructure throughout the transition, requiring careful integration with existing systems at the Plant City Water Reclamation Facility. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are indicated in the solicitation, though local preference policies and E-Verify requirements apply. The project scope addresses the relocation of electrical and fiber infrastructure from an existing Public Works Building scheduled for demolition, establishing independent operational capability prior to building removal to ensure uninterrupted service.
