This is a Sample Insurance Certificate related to a fiber optic cabling upgrade project solicited by the City of Pembroke Pines in Broward County, Florida through Invitation for Bid (IFB) #TS-25-14. The project encompasses fiber optic installation at two locations: Fire Station 79 to West Pines Soccer Field and Fire Station 89 to Pines Art Center, with vendors permitted to submit proposals for one or both locations. Key project deliverables include installation of 1.5" HDPE conduits at depths ranging from 36" to 120", multiple 30"x48"x36" handholes for fiber access, and directional boring techniques to minimize disruption to existing infrastructure. A mandatory pre-bid site visit is scheduled for August 20, 2025, at Fire Station 79, with bid submissions due September 9, 2025, at 2:00 pm and bid opening at 2:30 pm. The project must be completed within 120 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with an estimated start date of October 1, 2025. Evaluation criteria will prioritize responsiveness, responsibility, and most advantageous bid, requiring vendors to demonstrate at least five years of experience in similar work.

The estimated project cost is $100,000 with no grant or federal funding applicable. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are identified, and no incumbent vendors are noted. Contractors must comply with comprehensive insurance requirements, including general liability, workers' compensation, and auto liability coverage, with the City of Pembroke Pines named as an additional insured, as evidenced by this certificate. The project requires strict adherence to City of Pembroke Pines and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) construction standards, careful navigation around existing utilities including water mains, storm sewers, gas lines, and electric infrastructure, and compliance with utility placement and restoration protocols. Vendors must provide references and demonstrate technical capability to execute directional boring and fiber optic installation while maintaining minimal disruption to existing city infrastructure.
