Utility Locator Assistance

The City of St. Petersburg is seeking bids from qualified vendors to provide technical field services that include responding to and documenting requests from the Florida Sunshine State One Call Center (SSOCOF) to locate and mark the City’s underground fiber, city lighting electrical lines, and potable, reclaimed, and wastewater utilities throughout the City’s service areas on an as-needed basis. The vendor(s) will perform all work under the general direction of a City project manager and will be subject to review through discussions, report analysis, field observations, assessment of completed work, and evaluation of overall results. The City intends to award two (2) vendors, a primary and a secondary, for this project. The City intends to award the secondary contract to a City of St. Petersburg Certified SBE , upon availability.

The City is experiencing large growth in the telecommunications industry where large amounts of fiber optic cable is being installed in the Public Right-of-Way. The City is looking to hire out a qualified vendor to provide staffing to perform locate services, on an as-needed basis to meet this peak in construction.
