About this file
The document is a Bidder Information and Qualification Form (Attachment C) for RFP 25 8399 by the Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) seeking emergency response safety and damage assessment support services in Orange County, Florida. The solicitation aims to establish pre-negotiated contracts for 2025 and 2026, with proposals due by July 22, 2025, at 3:30 PM EST (extended from the original 2:00 PM time due to a system problem). A pre-response conference is scheduled for June 25, 2025, at 11:30 AM EST via Microsoft Teams. The contract period extends through May 31, 2027, with the goal of selecting one or more suppliers capable of providing rapid, safe infrastructure damage assessment and power restoration support during hurricanes, tornadoes, and other major natural or man-made disasters.
The RFP requires suppliers to demonstrate minimum qualifications, including five years of post-disaster safety assessment experience, OSHA and DOT training, and comprehensive company capabilities. The pricing structure includes detailed rate schedules for labor classifications with standard, overtime, and double-time rates. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the contract is designed to support rapid deployment of emergency response crews, with potential FEMA reimbursement eligibility. The evaluation will assess company experience, key personnel qualifications, project approach, financial stability, insurance coverage, and compliance forms. No specific set-aside designations or incumbent vendor information is mentioned, and the solicitation does not require bid bonds or payment and performance bonds.
