About this opportunity
Homestead Public Services (HPS Energy) is seeking qualified contractors to furnish and install a prefabricated concrete perimeter barrier wall at the Lucy 138kV Switching Station, with proposals due July 24, 2026. The City of Homestead encourages participation from MBE, WBE, and DBE businesses.
The Lucy Station is a critical asset serving as the primary tie-in point for a Florida Power & Light feeder. The barrier wall project hardens the station against physical threats and environmental damage. Because the station operates in an energized 138 kV environment during construction, the selected contractor must have documented experience furnishing and installing similar barrier walls at electric utility stations while energized. Vendors with demonstrated heavy concrete work experience in industrial or utility settings are preferred. The contractor must demonstrate a safety-first approach and the capability to execute structural work in accordance with specifications, building code, and schedule.
Place of performance is the Lucy Switching Station in Miami-Dade County, Florida. HPS Energy has provided detailed engineering drawings, reference images of comparable installations, construction bond forms, and a site-visit indemnification agreement. A site inspection and indemnification agreement process is part of vendor qualification.
No specific contract value, contract term, or evaluation weighting is disclosed in the posting. The timeline includes a proposal due date of July 24, 2026; no separate question deadline or pre-bid meeting date is stated in the summary materials.
Opportunity text
Homestead Public Services (HPS Energy) seeks qualified and experienced contractors to furnish and install a prefabricated concrete perimeter barrier wall at the Lucy 138kV Switching Station. Lucy is a critical asset because it serves as the primary tie-in point for the Florida Power & Light (FPL) feeder. Protecting the infrastructure at the Lucy Station is critical for HPS Energy system reliability.
The goal of this project is to install high-strength concrete barriers to harden the station against physical threats and environmental damage. Because Lucy operates in an energized 138 kV environment, the selected contractor must have documented experience furnishing and installing similar barrier walls at electric utility stations. Stations that are energized during construction. Interested vendors must have a "safety-first" mindset and experience with utility-scale structural work are the main things we are looking for.
HPS Energy seeks a partner who can do this work in accordance with the specifications and building code, and on schedule. Vendors with documented experience in heavy concrete work in industrial or utility settings are encouraged to submit a bid response.
The City of Homestead is an Equal Opportunity Employer and encourages participation from MBE/WBE/DBE businesses.
