This is a Price Proposal Exhibit (Exhibit B) for Invitation to Bid (ITB) ELE/260900 issued by the City of Ocala, Florida, for Substation Ground Maintenance Services. The City of Ocala requires qualified contractors to provide grounds maintenance services for approximately seventeen electric substations and one training yard located throughout Ocala. Work includes complete grounds maintenance at all designated locations ("cycle cuts") or maintenance at individual properties ("single cuts"), as directed by the City. The solicitation identifies eighteen specific substation and training yard locations with addresses, including facilities such as Airport, Penuel, Training Yard, Dixie, White, Enzian, Maricamp, North, Dearmin, Ergle, Ocala Palms, Paddock, Shaw, Richmond Heights, Shady Road, Sharpes Ferry, Silver Springs, and Nuby's substations. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was scheduled for Thursday, July 23, 2026, at 9:00 AM at Penuel Substation, 950 NE 58th Avenue, Ocala, Florida. The City may award contracts to both a Primary Contractor and a Secondary Contractor, with all work initially assigned to the Primary Contractor and the Secondary Contractor activated only if the primary contract is terminated or if the Primary Contractor cannot adequately meet contract demands.

Pricing is submitted on a per-cut basis for each of the eighteen locations, with all prices listed as $0.00 in the template form, requiring bidders to enter their proposed pricing for each cycle cut. Contractors must furnish all labor, supervision, equipment, tools, materials, transportation, and incidentals necessary to perform required services. All contractors awarded a contract are required to obtain a Florida Right-of-Way Pesticide License to purchase and use restricted-strength herbicides such as full-strength Roundup for fence lines and around structures. Contractors must provide proof to the City that they have begun the licensing process before commencing work and must obtain the license no later than a specified deadline. The resulting contract is structured as a multi-award agreement under which services will be requested on an as-needed basis.
