EXHIBIT_J_PICK_LIST.xlsx

The document is an Exhibit J Pick List for the Florida Keys Electric Cooperative Association, Inc. (FKEC), detailing a comprehensive bill of materials for a new 7.3-mile, 25 kilovolt three-phase overhead distribution feeder project designated as the G Feeder, running from Tavernier to Key Largo substations. The project involves installing 36 new distribution poles, 2 capacitor banks, and 3 reclosers, with the bid due on May 23, 2025, and an anticipated intent to award on June 2, 2025. The project is scheduled for completion by June 19, 2026, and will replace the existing T Feeder, primarily utilizing underbuilt poles on an existing 138kV transmission line.

The bid will be evaluated using a scoring system that includes qualifications (20 points), past performance (20 points), cost proposal (50 points), and schedule (10 points). 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 extensive bill of materials includes over 300 line items for construction and retirement, covering transformers, poles, conductors, insulators, clamps, bolts, and various electrical infrastructure components. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the procurement process appears open to qualified electrical infrastructure contractors with demonstrated technical expertise in distribution line construction.
