This is an award posting document from Florida Keys Electric Cooperative Association, Inc. (FKEC), announcing the selection of contractors for FKEC Bid #26-13 for a Master Service Agreement to provide surveying services. The awarded contractors are Avirom Surveying & Mapping, Longitude Surveyors, LLC, and Massey-Richards Surveying & Mapping, LLC. The original proposal due date was July 21, 2026, which was extended to July 28, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. via Addendum 1. The scope of services includes utility surveys and mapping, boundary and easement surveys, pre-construction layout surveys, as-built surveys, GPS surveys, GIS mapping, property surveys, digital base maps, wetland delineation surveys, hydrographic surveys, flood insurance certificates, and Lidar mapping. The Master Service Agreement runs through July 31, 2029, with FKEC retaining the right to award to multiple respondents and to select vendors other than the lowest-priced bidder.

Compensation is structured on a time-and-materials or time-and-equipment basis, with hourly rates submitted separately for professional surveyors, surveyor laborers, and administrative/CAD personnel, plus flat rates for specific services such as utility easement sketches, construction staking, property corner location and staking, and as-built surveys. Rates were submitted for 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029, with materials charged on an actual cost basis without markup and large equipment paid only for actual use time. Evaluation criteria weighted qualifications at 40 points, past performance at 20 points, and cost at 40 points. Contracts exceeding $250,000 may require performance and payment bonds. The agreement is subject to 2 C.F.R. Part 200, including debarment certification and domestic preference for U.S.-produced materials. FKEC noted that as a cooperative association, it does not meet the definition of a state and local government agency under Florida Statute Title X, Chapter 119, and therefore reserves the right to protect the privacy of bidders and vendors.
