Contractors must also provide Certified Weld Inspector services, Non-Destructive Examination services, and Post-Weld Heat Treatment services. The RFP includes break-out items for optional work on HP SH Desuperheater spray liner and LP drum door replacement. Time and Materials rates (with specified markups for materials, equipment rental, travel per diem, and overtime) apply to general outage repairs identified during inspections. Responses must be submitted electronically through the City's OpenGov e-Procurement Portal.

Minimum insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability of $1,000,000, Business Auto Liability of $1,000,000, Excess Liability of $2,000,000, and Workers' Compensation at statutory limits. Contractors must provide three professional references and comply with OSHA standards, confined space entry procedures, hot work protocols, and crane safety certification. Technical specifications address thin-wall HRSG tube welds and heavy-wall P91 piping work. Place of performance is Lakeland, Florida.
