Joint Use Pole Audit Service

The City of Lakeland, Florida, requires a contractor to perform a joint use pole audit service to verify pole counts and collect utility pole data. The agency is seeking to resolve discrepancies in joint use pole data by establishing accurate counts and collecting specified pole information. The selected contractor must deliver all collected data in an ESRI ArcGIS file format and determine the pole count or geographic area for each work batch. The scope of work requires the contractor to perform all services offsite. The agency is establishing a process where joint users will have thirty days to dispute the new pole counts upon receipt of the audited data. Bidders must propose a flat rate fee per pole, and the contract will utilize a payment milestone structure. Only organizations based onshore in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for cost proposals from bidders. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting will take place on June 10, 2026. Bidders must submit all questions regarding the solicitation no later than June 18, 2026.
