Traffic Signal Repair for Emergency work

The City of Melbourne, Florida, through the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), is soliciting bids for an Emergency Traffic Signal Repair contract (ITB-TRAFFIC-0-2025/KB) covering Brevard County and Mount Carmel CDP. The procurement seeks a licensed firm to provide comprehensive emergency traffic signal repair services, with specific requirements that the work be primarily performed by contractor employees, limiting subcontracting to 70% of the total contract price. Critically, the successful bidder must be an FDOT Prequalified Contractor for Traffic Signal work and have IMSA-certified technicians capable of rapid mobilization during emergency situations. The contract focuses on restoring signalized intersections to full operational status following a Governor's or President's Declaration of a State Emergency, with specific emphasis on maintaining at least one functioning overhead signal indication per approach. Key deliverables include unit-priced repair activities such as span wire assembly adjustments, signal pole installations, and traffic controller modifications. The bid is scheduled for opening on October 23, 2025, with an anticipated contract award on November 11, 2025, and bidders must submit a bid bond or cashier's check for 5% of the bid amount.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but it is federally funded and subject to federal mandates including Davis-Bacon wage requirements and equal employment opportunity guidelines. Contractors must comply with E-Verify requirements and maintain appropriate insurance coverage. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned, the contract includes provisions for potential renewal periods and requires detailed documentation and reporting. The bid documents suggest a comprehensive approach to emergency traffic signal repair, with potential for significant infrastructure restoration work. Though a specific award value is not directly stated, the contract's emergency response focus and broad scope indicate a potentially substantial budget range. Interested contractors must demonstrate not only technical expertise in traffic signal repair but also the organizational capacity to respond quickly and efficiently during critical infrastructure emergencies, with a strong emphasis on compliance with state and federal regulatory standards.
