Skyway UPS Replacement

The Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) has issued a firm-fixed-price solicitation (ITB 26-004) for the replacement of Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) units at three specific Jacksonville Skyway stations: LaVilla, RiverPlace, and San Marco Station wayside control rooms. This procurement, posted in May 2026 with a submission deadline in June 2026, seeks competitive bids under a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection method. Bidders must be registered and in good standing with the State of Florida and SAM.gov, hold active Florida state licenses, and comply with the extensive federal and local regulatory requirements outlined in the solicitation. The contract is governed by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) third-party contract clauses, last revised in November 2025, which impose strict requirements including anti-fraud provisions, drug-free workplace policies, Buy America compliance for applicable components, equal employment opportunity mandates, Davis-Bacon wage provisions for construction work, and environmental considerations. Performance of work takes place exclusively in Jacksonville, Florida, specifically in the three designated Skyway station control rooms, with final inspection and acceptance occurring at the destination sites. The contractor bears responsibility for ensuring compliance through manufacturer testing and documentation, subject to government inspection and final acceptance oversight. Special contract requirements include comprehensive security clearances with criminal background checks adhering to JTA standards, mandated contractor identification and vehicle markings on JTA property, and strict safety and security plan obligations subject to onsite audits by JTA officials. Subcontracting with Disadvantaged and Small Business Enterprises (DBE/SBE) is encouraged and monitored with required good faith effort documentation and reporting. Proposals must be submitted digitally via the JTA OpenGov Procurement Portal in specified formats, and no late or alternative submission methods are accepted. This contract does not reference specific pricing data or delivery schedules but emphasizes compliance with federal and agency policies to support equitable, secure, and accountable execution of UPS replacement services.
