EXHIBIT_J_PICK_LIST.xlsx

Exhibit J Pick List is a detailed Bill of Materials (BOM) for the Florida Keys Electric Cooperative Association, Inc. (FKEC), documenting extensive electrical infrastructure components for both construction and retirement purposes. The document catalogs 460+ unique items across categories including transformers, poles, conductors, insulators, clamps, bolts, and various electrical hardware, with quantities ranging from 1 to over 7,000 units. The associated contract opportunity involves installing a new 7.3-mile, 25 kilovolt three-phase overhead distribution feeder (G Feeder) from Tavernier to Key Largo substations, which will replace the existing T Feeder. The project requires setting 36 new distribution poles, installing 2 capacitor banks and 3 reclosers, and transferring existing loads, with a bid due date of May 23, 2025, an anticipated award date of June 2, 2025, and a project completion date of June 19, 2026.

The procurement process will evaluate bids using a comprehensive scoring system: 20 points for firm and staff qualifications, 20 points for past performance, 50 points for cost proposal, and 10 points for schedule. The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price agreement, with FKEC reserving the right to select a bidder based on meeting solicitation requirements rather than solely on lowest price. Potential vendors include Gresco, Irby, and manufacturers like Ermco, Hubbell, McWane, and Hughes Brothers. 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. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the bidding appears open to qualified electrical infrastructure contractors with demonstrated distribution line construction expertise.
