The City of Bartow is soliciting a qualified vendor to conduct a comprehensive inventory of its electric distribution system, requiring high-accuracy GPS location data and detailed attribute information for all aboveground and underground assets. This includes poles, transformers, capacitors, regulators, reclosers, fuses, arrestors, terminations, meters, stub poles, and both streetlight and yard light poles, with specific documentation of size, type, style, and billing status. The project mandates system-wide phasing data collection and precise geospatial coordinates for every structure and service point, adhering to the detailed attribute specifications outlined in Attachment A. The vendor must deploy efficient, cost-effective techniques to ensure minimal disruption to operations and avoid database downtime during data extraction, with the goal of reducing project timeline and overall expenses. The solicitation, identified as RFP 26-19, is open for responses until July 22, 2026, and is issued by the City of Bartow’s Purchasing Department in Florida, serving over 13,600 retail electric accounts across 115 square miles. Interested parties should direct inquiries to Brent Foockle, Engineer II, or Evan Markewich, Senior Procurement Analyst, via the provided contact information. The successful contractor will be expected to deliver a complete, accurate, and georeferenced asset inventory that supports the utility’s operational planning, maintenance, and infrastructure management goals.
