Seminole County is seeking a competent contractor for a term contract focused on traffic signal construction and system communication services through Invitation for Bid (IFB-604668-23/LNF). The procurement covers comprehensive traffic signal infrastructure work, including constructing complete traffic signals and individual components such as conduit, cable, mast arms, pre-emption and detection equipment, fiber, and street lighting. Contractors must have an IMSA Level 2 Signal Technician on-site and be certified in Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) training. The bid was released on November 29, 2023, with questions due by January 12, 2024, and the final response deadline set for January 24, 2024, at 2:00 pm. The contract will be based on Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) standards and Seminole County modifications, with a comprehensive 388-line item pricing schedule covering various signal and communication infrastructure elements. Evaluation will likely focus on technical capabilities, compliance with specifications, and competitive pricing across the detailed line items.

The contract does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors will be required to use the E-Verify system for employee work authorization and must maintain substantial insurance coverage, including $2 million in Commercial General Liability and a $5 million Commercial Umbrella/Excess policy. The agreement is structured as a one-year contract with potential for two additional one-year renewals, providing a flexible framework for Seminole County to procure traffic signal construction services. While the exact contract value is not specified, the comprehensive pricing schedule and potential for multiple projects suggest a significant potential contract value. The contract includes provisions for potential price redeterminations based on changes in wages, fuel, or materials costs, with specific calculation methodologies outlined. Additionally, the contract may be eligible for FEMA funding, which introduces additional federal compliance requirements for potential projects.
