EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to award Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 23-8119, “Signal Improvements at Airport Road and
Poinciana Elementary School,” to Horsepower Electric, Inc., in the amount of $613,981 and authorize the
Chairman to sign the attached Agreement.
OBJECTIVE: To award a construction contract for the hardening of the signal on Airport Road at Poinciana
Elementary School.
CONSIDERATIONS: This project will upgrade the intersection to meet current standards and will replace the
existing span wire traffic signal with mast arms to make it more resistant to the wind effects of tropical storms or
hurricanes. County staff and Hanson Professional Services, Inc., worked together to re-design the signal
configuration to improve roadway safety and operations.
On April 21, 2023, the Procurement Services Division advertised ITB No. 23-8119. The County received two bids
by the June 5, 2023 deadline, as summarized below.
Company Name City County ST Total Bid Responsive/
Responsible
Horsepower Electric, Inc. Hialeah Miami-Dade FL $613,981.00 Yes/Yes
American Infrastructure Services, Inc. Fort Myers Lee FL $661.003.20 Yes/Yes
Staff reviewed the bids received and deemed them both responsive and responsible. Staff determined that
Horsepower Electric, Inc., is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and recommends the attached Agreement
be awarded to Horsepower Electric, Inc., in the amount of $613,981. Horsepower Electric, Inc., has been doing
business in Florida since 1985 with a main office in Miami-Dade County.
The Engineer of Record, Hanson Professional Services Inc., evaluated references provided by Horsepower Electric,
Inc., and found them acceptable to determine its experience with work of a similar magnitude performed within the
last five years, and that Horsepower Electric, Inc., has the experience, skill, business standing, and ability to
complete the work as required under the proposed Agreement.
The Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Cost (“OPC”) was $491,416.75, which is approximately 25% lower than the
low bid for this project. The differences in the OPC and the lowest bidder is due to high inflationary increases in
material and construction costs along with the higher cost of fuel.
This item is consistent with the Collier County Strategic Plan objectives to optimize the useful life of public
infrastructure and prepare for the impacts of natural disasters.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of this contract is $613,981. Funding is available in the Gas Tax Fund (3083)
within the Traffic Signals Project (60172). The funding source is gas taxes.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This recommendation is consistent with the Long-Range Transportation
Plan and Objective 1 of the Transportation Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan to maintain the
major roadway system at an acceptable Level of Service.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for Board
approval. -SRT
RECOMMENDATION: To award ITB No. 23-8119, “Signal Improvements at Airport Road and Poinciana
Elementary School,” to Horsepower Electric, Inc., in the amount of $613,981 and authorize the Chairman to sign

RE: Design Entity Letter of Recommended Award
Solicitation No 23-8119 Signal Improvement at Airport Road and Poinciana Elementary
School
Dear Leeann Charles, CPM:
Bids were received for the above-referenced project by Collier County.
Hanson Professional Services Inc. (Engineer of Record) has completed our review of the bid
submitted by the lowest bidder for this project, and we are pleased to provide the following
award recommendation.
The scope of the Signal Improvement at Airport Road and Poinciana Elementary School
project includes replacing the existing wired traffic signals with steel mast signals that will be
more resilient to future hurricane events.
Collier County Procurement’s review of the bid tabulations determined that the apparent low
bidder is Horsepower Electric, Inc. with a bid of $613,981.00. Hanson Professional Services
Inc. was provided with the bid Schedule for Horsepower Electric, Inc. The bid is approximately
25% higher than the Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPC) of $491,416.75.
We believe the discrepancy differences in the OPC and the low bid is due to high inflationary
increases in material and construction costs along with the higher cost of fuel. The bid from
Horsepower Electric, Inc is consistent with the other bidders on this project at less than 5%
difference in the bid amount.
References were provided, and the completed Vendor Reference Check Logs for each
reference are attached hereto. The project references provided by Horsepower Electric, Inc.
were contacted, Hanson Professional Services Inc. determined the references contain sufficient
relevant experience with similar projects to demonstrate the required successful experience to
complete the project.
Horsepower Electric, Inc. is a corporation formed in 1985 in the State of Florida and has been
authorized to transact business in the State of Florida since 1985. Horsepower Electric, Inc. is
registered with the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation as a
Construction Business and a Certified Electrical Contractor, which registrations are current and
active.

Packet Pg. 866 Attachment: 23-8119 DELORA (26223 : Recommendation to award Construction Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 23-8119, “Signal Improvements at Ai)
Based on Horsepower Electric, Inc’s prior experience on similar projects, the favorable
performance reviews provided on the Vendor Reference Logs and its relevant licensing, it
appears that it is a qualified firm to conduct the requested work. Based on the above
information, Hanson Professional Services Inc. recommends Horsepower Electric, Inc. be
awarded the Signal Improvement at Airport Road and Poinciana Elementary School project in
the amount of $613,981.00.

4.
Did the process run smoothly? Were there any changes? Describe below.
Mostly smooth. There were some change order requests that were denied and one change order that was
warranted and accepted.
5. Was the contract closeout process performed satisfactorily? (If not, provide detail)
Yes. Closeout was lengthy and difficult, but this was entirely due to FDOT documentation requirements, not
Contractor.
6.
Any warranty issues since closeout? Were they responded to and performed satisfactorily?
No
7.
Additional comments:
Completed work and performed satisfactorily. Might want to keep an eye on any change orders. Currently
doing a lot of work for Broward County.
