This is a Public Notice of Request for Proposal Final Evaluation Team Meeting issued by the Kissimmee Utility Authority (KUA), a Florida-based utility agency. The notice announces a virtual meeting scheduled for Friday, September 18, 2026, at 2:00 PM local time to complete the evaluation process for RFP 26-036-JG, which solicits Conduit Installation Services. The RFP encompasses 167 line items for furnishing and installing HDPE conduit in sizes ranging from 2" through 8", Schedule 40 gray restrained joint conduit, inner duct placement, missile conduit installation, traffic control across multiple configurations, concrete and asphalt pavement work, excavation at various depths, riser conduit installation, and meter can installation and removal. The original proposals were due July 28, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST, with a mandatory acknowledgment of Addendum #1 issued July 16, 2026. The contract structure includes a three-year base term with two optional one-year renewals, and KUA reserves the right to award to single or multiple contractors with work issued on an as-needed basis.

Pricing must be submitted on a revised Exhibit A Price Sheet with firm-fixed unit rates for standard services and cost-plus percentage markups for materials, subcontractors, rental equipment, and hazardous-waste disposal, with prices remaining firm for the first year and subject to negotiation for renewal years using a specified price-adjustment index. A 100% performance bond is required within ten days of award, calculated on the projected maximum outstanding outstanding work balance. Contractors must hold Osceola County underground-contractor registration prior to final contract execution, though proposals from unregistered contractors will be considered with registration mandatory before notice-to-proceed. As-built documentation requires certification by a licensed Florida surveyor using NAD83 Florida State Plane East coordinates in US survey feet. The evaluation team meeting will be conducted via Zoom with the contact point being Jennifer Grieves, Buyer, at (407) 933-9809 or procurement@kua.com.
