Gas Yard Maintenance at SEC & OGS

The Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) is seeking qualified vendors to provide comprehensive natural gas yard maintenance services for the Stanton Energy Center and Osceola Generating Station in Florida. The Request for Proposal (RFP 8458 PR) requires contractors to perform maintenance on above-grade piping, inlet and outlet filter separators, regulator valves, condensate drain tanks, and manual valves at these facilities. Bidders must have been in business for at least 5 years performing similar work, be properly licensed in Florida, and have qualified staff available for emergency calls. The contract term is three years with an optional two-year renewal, and proposals are due by June 3, 2025 at 2:00 PM EST, with a mandatory pre-response conference scheduled for May 15, 2025. Evaluation criteria will include vendor qualifications, experience, responsiveness to requirements, safety programs, financial soundness, and price, with OUC reserving the right to negotiate with responsive and responsible bidders.

The solicitation includes a Minority/Women Business Enterprises (M/WBE) goal of 8%, requiring bidders to indicate the percentage of work to be subcontracted with M/WBE vendors. No bid bond or performance bond is required for this solicitation. Pricing will be submitted on a provided Excel form with unit pricing remaining firm for the initial three-year contract period. Bidders must demonstrate comprehensive qualifications, including current licensing, financial statements, Dun & Bradstreet numbers, OSHA incident rates, worker's compensation modification ratings, and detailed information about employee screening processes. The contract will cover monthly facility maintenance, annual inspections and testing of cathodic protection, atmospheric corrosion, grounding systems, leak surveys, pressure regulator maintenance, and filter separator element replacements. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the time and materials pricing structure suggests flexibility in contract value based on actual maintenance requirements and service calls.
