This is a circuit map document for the Drake Circuit 2 vegetation management project under Glades Electric Cooperative's 2026 Lump Sum Vegetation Management Jobs procurement. The Drake Substation is located at 4350 CO RD 833, Clewiston, FL 33440 (GPS coordinates: X = 26.70418, Y = -81.12878). The project encompasses approximately 176 miles of 25KV distribution pole line right-of-way vegetation trimming and clearance work, with hot spots to be identified during execution. This is one of four individual jobs available for bid, and contractors must submit lump sum proposals for each job they wish to bid on. Glades Electric Cooperative retains the right to award each job individually to contractors of their choice, postpone certain jobs or portions thereof to 2027, or adjust the specific order of jobs and feeders based on contractor selection and pricing.

Contractors must submit bids exclusively through VendorLink and are prohibited from direct phone or email communication. Submission requirements include a Company Overview with executive summary, resumes, and letters of reference; completion of Exhibits A through D; and rates submitted using the provided Excel Rate Sheet Template. The work involves right-of-way clearing and vegetation trimming, including trees, branches, and shrubbery, under energized power lines, with contractors responsible for mechanically loading and compacting debris into trucks and trailers. Qualified contractors should possess appropriate experience in similar right-of-way vegetation management projects and demonstrate capability to work safely around energized electrical infrastructure.
