The contract term is one year with JEA retaining renewal options for four additional one-year periods.

Required insurance includes workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($1,000,000 each occurrence / $2,000,000 annual aggregate), automobile liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), and excess or umbrella liability ($1,000,000). JEA intends to award one contract, though reserves the right to award multiple contracts based on work groupings or to exclude certain items. Award will go to the responsive and responsible respondent with the lowest total bid price that meets or exceeds minimum qualifications. Submissions must be made through JEA's E-Procurement and Contract Management Portal (Zycus Supplier Network); late responses will be rejected. JEA will publicly open responses via Microsoft Teams. Competitive sealed bidding applies with no exceptions allowed; respondents may not submit modifications or exceptions within their bids. The contract is contingent upon the existence of lawfully appropriated funds.
