The file EXHIBIT_F_Staking_Sheets.pdf is associated with the Florida Keys Electric Cooperative Association, Inc. (FKEC) and relates to a critical infrastructure project for a new electrical distribution feeder. The project involves installing 7.3 miles of a new 25 kilovolt (kV) three-phase overhead distribution feeder, designated as 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. 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 replace the existing T Feeder and will primarily be underbuilt on existing 138kV transmission line poles.

The procurement will be awarded as a firm fixed-price agreement, with FKEC reserving the right to select a bidder based on a comprehensive scoring system: qualifications (20 points), past performance (20 points), cost proposal (50 points), and schedule (10 points). While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the bidding process is open to qualified electrical infrastructure contractors. Insurance requirements are extensive, mandating professional liability, commercial general liability, and commercial automobile liability coverage with 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. FKEC will provide project management, onsite representation, and documentation such as GIS overlays and construction manuals.
