This is a project map and specification document for vegetation management work on a transmission line owned by Glades Electric Cooperative (GEC), a Florida-based electric utility. The document depicts Job 1, the Ortona 69kV Transmission Line Project, which requires right-of-way vegetation trimming and clearing work spanning approximately 12,602 linear feet. The project extends from Pole #OTOR-1 (starting point at coordinates 26.7680783892928, -81.0818832510567) to Pole #OTOR-84 (ending point at coordinates 26.7879035832395, -81.2049565383454). This is one of four separate vegetation management jobs for which GEC is soliciting lump sum bids from qualified contractors. The work encompasses clearing and trimming vegetation, including trees, branches, and shrubbery, from beneath and around energized 69kV transmission lines.

Contractors submitting proposals must complete all submissions through VendorLink and are required to upload a Company Overview with executive summary and references, Exhibits A through D as specified in the Request for Proposal, and a completed Excel Rate Sheet Template using the provided format. GEC reserves the right to award each of the four jobs individually to contractors of its choosing and may postpone certain jobs or portions thereof to 2027 based on pricing and other considerations. Work will involve mechanical equipment for loading and compacting debris into trucks and trailers. Contractors must not contact GEC via phone or email; all questions and proposals must be submitted exclusively through the VendorLink platform.
