The City of St. Cloud, Florida is seeking to establish a pool of qualified electrical contractors through Invitation to Bid (ITB) #2025-051, targeting electrical contractor services for multiple city facilities on an as-needed basis. Contractors must possess a minimum Certified Electrical Contractor's License and demonstrate proven experience completing at least ten commercial electrical jobs valued at $5,000 or more within the past five years. The procurement requires contractors to provide all necessary labor, tools, equipment, and materials for electrical work, with a detailed pricing proposal including hourly labor rates for different worker classifications such as Foreman, Journeyman, Helper, and Emergency Work Rate. The bid was released on February 9, 2025, with a deadline for questions on February 28, 2025, and a bid submission deadline of March 13, 2025, at 2:00 pm. Electronic bid submissions must be made through the city's procurement portal, with the city reserving the right to select contractors for projects under $5,000 at its discretion and issuing a scope of work to pre-qualified contractors for competitive bidding on projects over $5,000.

The contract has no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but contractors must comply with federal and state requirements including equal opportunity employment regulations and Davis-Bacon Act wage standards. The initial contract term is three years, with an option to extend for two additional one-year periods. Compensation will be processed via electronic funds transfer or P-card, following Florida's Prompt Payment Act guidelines, with materials paid at actual cost plus a percentage markup and labor billed at submitted hourly rates. Contractors must maintain specific insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 general liability per occurrence, workers' compensation, and automobile liability. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the solicitation suggests a flexible, project-based approach where individual electrical service jobs will vary in scope and value. Contractors must also comply with E-Verify regulations for employment eligibility verification and adhere to Florida's public records laws, with the city reserving the right to terminate the contract with 30 days' notice.
