Work at JAXPORT requires a Transportation Workers Identification Credential (TWIC) and facility security awareness training. Contractors must maintain on-hand parts inventory at their expense with 10-business-day replenishment requirements.

The estimated scope includes approximately 2,700 hours of project management, 7,000 hours of working foreman service (split between senior and entry-level rates), and 7,000 hours of technician labor (split between senior and entry-level rates). Material pricing must include delivery, shipping, and handling; a material markup not to exceed 20% is permitted, along with a $200,000 testing allowance. Labor rates are inclusive of all administrative and overhead charges with no additional trip charges, minimum labor hours, or mileage fees. The contract is a one-time purchase with no renewal options; award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Prior to execution, the awardee must submit certificates of insurance naming JEA as additional insured with waiver of subrogation, W-9 forms, and evidence of active Florida business registration. A 100% contract bond is required upon award. Payment terms offer 1% discount within 20 days or net 30 days, or 2% discount within 10 days or net 30 days. A two-year warranty on all work from substantial completion is required.
