This is Addendum 3 to a Statement of Qualifications (SOQ) issued by the Orlando Utilities Commission for prequalification of contractors for Fern Creek Underground 230kV Transmission Line and Water Main Civil Construction Services. The project scope includes civil construction for underground transmission line ductbank installation spanning approximately 4,975 feet with eight 8-inch conduits, two 4-inch conduits, and two 2-inch conduits, along with three splice vaults and two communication handholes. The water main component involves replacement of approximately 3,000 linear feet of water mains along Fern Creek Avenue, including fire hydrants, isolation valves, and cathodic protection. Roadway restoration requires historically designated brick paver replacement in the historic district and asphalt restoration in other areas. Addendum 3 extends the SOQ response due date from August 11, 2026 to August 14, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. EST, with responses submitted through VendorLink. The questions period closed on July 23, 2026 and is not being extended. Bidders who previously submitted responses may update their submissions prior to the new deadline.

Qualified contractors must meet minimum requirements including seven years in business, Florida licensure, $30 million bonding capacity, three or more similar projects as lead prime within the past seven years, and an OSHA Experience Modification Rate of 1.0 or less for 2023-2025.
