The file EXHIBIT_B_MATERIAL_CUT_SHEETS.zip is associated with the Florida Keys Electric Cooperative Association, Inc. (FKEC) and represents a detailed technical document related to a comprehensive electrical infrastructure project. The project involves installing a new 7.3-mile, 25 kilovolt (kV) three-phase overhead distribution feeder called the G Feeder, running from Tavernier to Key Largo substations. The scope includes setting 36 new distribution poles, installing 2 capacitor banks and 3 reclosers, and transferring existing loads, primarily on existing 138kV transmission line poles. The bid is due on May 23, 2025, with an anticipated intent to award on June 2, 2025, and a project completion date of June 19, 2026.

The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price agreement, with FKEC reserving the right to select a bidder based on the most comprehensive proposal rather than the lowest price. The bid evaluation will use a scoring system that considers firm and staff qualifications (20 points), past performance (20 points), cost proposal (50 points), and project schedule (10 points). While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the procurement process appears open to qualified electrical infrastructure contractors. The project requires extensive insurance coverage, including professional liability, commercial general liability, and commercial automobile liability with coverage limits ranging from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 per occurrence. Potential vendors include Gresco, Irby, and manufacturers like Ermco, Hubbell, McWane, and Hughes Brothers, indicating a technically sophisticated and competitive procurement process.
