About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Glades Electric Cooperative (GEC) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for fiber restoration services in a post-disaster environment, seeking to engage qualified contractors to perform disaster-related repairs to damaged fiber optic lines across its service territory in Glades, Highlands, Hendry, and Okeechobee counties, Florida. The procurement is specifically designed to secure emergency repair capabilities for fiber infrastructure following natural disasters or emergencies. Key proposal submission dates include July 9th, 2025 for questions, and July 18th, 2025 at 5:00 PM for bid submissions, with an anticipated intent to award by July 31st, 2025. The contract will run through December 31st, 2025, with work authorized through specific Task Releases that will define scope, location, timeframe, and rates for each restoration effort. Evaluation criteria will be based on a 100-point scoring system: 40 points for firm and staff qualifications, 30 points for relevant past performance, and 30 points for cost proposal. Contractors must demonstrate expertise in fiber optic line repair, provide comprehensive documentation including company overview, references, and work plans, and submit proposals electronically through myvendorlink.com.

The contract will be funded through FEMA financial assistance, requiring strict compliance with federal laws, regulations, and FEMA guidelines. GEC anticipates awarding multiple contracts and reserves the right to utilize more than one contractor depending on the disaster's severity. The total contract base is set at a "Not to Exceed" amount of $500,000, with payment to be made on a time and materials basis or unit rate as specified in individual Task Releases. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, bidders will need to provide various required certifications and demonstrate capability to respond quickly to disaster recovery scenarios. The solicitation appears open to qualified private sector contractors with specific expertise in fiber optic infrastructure restoration, with no explicit restrictions on company size or type. Contractors will be expected to have robust technical capabilities, quick response mechanisms, and the ability to integrate with existing GEC infrastructure during emergency restoration efforts.
