Reference: Bid Evaluation for Bid#14-04-18-2
Electrical Maintenance Services
At your request, we reviewed the bids submitted for the Electrical Maintenance Services
contract. Please refer to the enclosed evaluation performed by Hillers Electrical Engineering
regarding the evaluation and reference checks. It is my opinion that Universal Electric of
Florida, Inc., 0 and J Electric, and Horsepower Electric are responsible and responsive
bidders.
If the City desires to hire two contractors as in previous years, we recommend Universal
Electric of Florida, Inc. and 0 and J Electric since their rates are comparable. We also
recommend hiring Horsepower Electric if the City desires to have three contractors available
on an as-needed basis.
If you have any questions or require any additional information, please call.

Evaluation Letter
Dear Mr. Gonzalez:
As requested,Hillers Electrical Engineering has evaluated the bid proposals and references. In
reviewing the Bid Tabulations,it was observed that Universal Electric of Florida,Inc. and 0 and J
Electric had a very similar pricing structure for Labor rates. On the other hand,the rates for
Horsepower Electric were double those of the other two bidders. The Equipment rates for Universal
Electric were the least followed by 0 and J Electric and then Horsepower Electric who were
substantially higher.
The references for each bidder were contacted and were asked five questions. The results of the
questionnaire are attached. Over-all,the responses for all three bidders were positive.
If you should have any further questions,please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
