About this opportunity

Glades Electric Cooperative (GEC) is soliciting proposals for a Master Services Agreement to provide oil spill cleanup and containment services in post-disaster environments for 2026 and 2027, with proposals due August 28, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time and questions due by August 20, 2026.

The scope encompasses emergency response for unplanned releases of diesel fuel, gasoline, or mineral oil dielectric fluid from electrical equipment such as transformers and oil storage containers, typically caused by accidents, hurricanes, storm surges, and tornadoes. The contractor must provide all labor, equipment, and incidental materials; GEC provides none. The contractor bears full responsibility for debris and contaminated-materials disposal in accordance with Florida Administrative Code Chapter 62-777, must complete and return GEC's Spill/Leak Form documenting GPS location, spill type and volume, and equipment identification, and must submit daily audit-quality reports by 5:00 p.m. the following business day. Work is activated through written Task Releases specifying scope, location, and completion timeframe. GEC serves over 18,000 accounts across 2,600 miles of line in Glades, Hendry, Highlands, and Okeechobee counties.

Compensation is time-and-materials based with hourly rates proposed by bidders for labor (Supervisor, Operator, Laborer, Laborer Assistant at straight time, overtime, and double time) and equipment (pickup trucks, flatbed trailers, skid steers, and other specified vehicles). Testing and disposal facility charges pass through without markup. Mobilization, demobilization, lodging, meals, and fuel are reimbursed at cost subject to GSA limits and pre-approval, with no markups, overhead, or profit permitted. GEC may award one or more MSAs and reserves the right to seek FEMA reimbursement; all work must comply with FEMA Public Assistance requirements and 2 C.F.R. Part 200.

Contractors must maintain Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence / $5,000,000 aggregate), Automotive Liability ($1,000,000), and Workers' Compensation (statutory limits with $500,000 minimums), with GEC named as additional insured within 48 hours of Task Release issuance. Subcontracting is prohibited except for soil testing and disposal. Evaluation weights 100 points across proposal completeness (0–5), firm qualifications and technical approach (0–45), cost effectiveness (0–30), and similar projects and references (0–20). The contract term runs through December 31, 2027, with automatic renewal for one additional year unless either party provides 30 days' written non-renewal notice.

Opportunity text

I. General The scope of services under this RFP includes oil spill cleanup services for major storm restoration activities (the Services). GEC will activate the MSA through a Notice to Proceed, Task Order, or Task Release (Authorization) with the specific details of the work, including exact locations within its territory requiring assessments. The Services described below are non-exhaustive examples of services that may be requested; however, GEC may request less than all the services described, or additional services not specifically listed below but within the general scope of the RFP. II. Services GEC is accepting oil spill clean-up emergency rates for 2026 and 2027. The work is for cleanup necessary from an unplanned release of diesel fuel, gasoline, or mineral oil dielectric fluid with associated containers and contaminated debris for Glades Electric Cooperative. GEC has identified the possible need for emergency clean up and containment services in the event of a petroleum-based release. The goal of this Master Services Agreement is to provide GEC during 2026 and 2027 with services capable of performing the containment and cleanup of jobs assigned. The work will be typical for that as a result of leaking or fallen electrical equipment such as transformers or failed or leaking oil storage containers. Releases typically occur due to issues arising from accidents, hurricanes, storm surges, and tornados, etc. The contractor shall provide all labor, equipment, and incidental materials to complete this service. GEC will not furnish any materials for the project. The contractor is responsible for disposal of all associated debris and clean-up materials utilized. All disposals must be in accordance with F. A. C. Chapter 62-777, Exhibit B. Contractor MUST complete and return GEC's Spill/Leak Form which details GPS location, type of spill & volume, pole and transformer numbers, etc.). Proper documentation of disposal must be submitted to GEC including any necessary test results. Any electrical-based equipment, including but not limited to, transformers, associated with the spill will be returned to GEC for disposal. Start date will be determined on an as needed basis determined by GEC. Duration will be determined by GEC. Rates should be in effect through December 31, 2027. The cost and availability will be considered for each event. A GEC Master Services Agreement, similar to the sample MSA provided in the bid solicitation, shall be executed with the selected bidder. Invoices must be sent regularly and for no more than 30-day periods. Work may not be subcontracted with the exception of the disposal and testing of any contaminated soil. All amendments and modifications to this contract must be made in writing. Contract Terms In addition to compliance with applicable Federal, State, and local rules and regulations, Contractor must also comply with the MSA and the terms and conditions in the Authorization, which will dictate the anticipated effort needed to complete the Services and include applicable terms and conditions for the Services. Fee Structure Given the uncertain nature of the quantity of work required and the percentage of service territory that will be impacted by the disaster, Contractor will have a time and materials fee structure at the rates proposed in response to this RFP. Any and all charges incurred by the oil spill testing facility shall be a pass through to Glades Electric. (i.e. No cost-plus invoices). Please provide an hourly rate of the services. Documentation Management & Support Contractor shall provide data management and support as a part of the Services, including use of a compatible system for clearly tracking and documenting all elements identified above. Contractor must also substantiate its costs. Contractor must maintain all records pertaining to work performed consistent with the requirements set forth in the MSA and Authorization. Contractor shall submit a report by close of business each day with, at a minimum, the following information: • Contractor's Name; • Contract Number; • Daily and cumulative hours for personnel, by position, if appropriate; • Other operational and complaint tracking information, as requested. Failure to provide audit quality information by 5:00 p.m. of the following day of operation may result in financial penalty to the Contractor.
