EXHIBIT_C_Pole_Tags is a geographic reference file in KMZ (Keyhole Markup Language) format associated with Florida Keys Electric Cooperative Association, Inc.'s (FKEC) Master Service Agreement procurement for system-wide thermography services. The file supports the three-year MSA solicitation covering calendar years 2026, 2027, and 2028, which requires annual continuous three-day infrared inspections of FKEC's electrical system extending from the Monroe County line to the Seven Mile Bridge, encompassing six substations and more than 32,000 meters across the Upper and Middle Florida Keys. Inspections must be conducted once annually as close to July 4th as possible during peak loading conditions, scheduled Monday through Thursday between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. during normal business hours. Bidders must submit questions by March 23, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., with proposals due by March 31, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., either electronically to procurement@fkec.com or through DemandStar e-Bidding, with intent to award anticipated by May 1, 2026. All inspections must be performed by a Level 2-Certified Infrared Thermography Technician, with FKEC providing transportation.

Evaluation criteria are weighted at 25 points for firm and staff qualifications, 25 points for relevant past performance, and 50 points for cost proposal. Pricing shall be submitted on a time and materials or time and equipment basis, with labor rates inclusive of small equipment, tools, and supplies, while large equipment rates may be charged separately and are inclusive of ownership and operational costs excluding operator labor; materials shall be charged on an actual cost basis without overhead or profit components. Deliverables must include digital results classified into four severity levels based on temperature rise values, with each hotspot displaying comparison temperatures from other phases, delivered within fourteen calendar days of inspection completion. No specific budget range is provided; however, the three-year term and comprehensive system-wide annual inspection requirements suggest a substantial contract value subject to conditional performance and payment bonding requirements if the contract value exceeds $250,000. Invoices must be submitted at least weekly with supporting documentation subject to verification, with payment due within thirty days of invoice receipt and approval.
