Overview

Summary

On September 9, 2003, the citizens of Winter Park voted in favor to purchase the electric utility system from then, Progress Energy® Florida. This vote came in response to tremendous customer dissatisfaction reports and significant reliability issues.

On June 1, 2005, the City celebrated the official “flipping of the switch” from an investor-owned utility to municipal ownership. Since then, the City has been working towards upgrading its infrastructure and undergrounding all overhead electric wires within the City’s electric utility service areas.

The City of Winter Park is seeking proposals to award a continuing contract to one (1) or more Contractor(s) for the underground installation of electrical, fiber optic, water/wastewater, and stormwater conduit/pipe. Contractor(s) shall be responsible for the installation of various types and sizes of conduit and/or pipe as directed by the City.

Background

Winter Park is one of the only cities in America that has a plan in place to underground their entire distribution system by 2030. Because the utility is owned by the City, it is able to provide this undergrounding service while maintaining rates that are below the average for the State of Florida. Additionally, because the City has local control over its revenues, it is able to reinvest all profits and revenues back into the system to pay for these undergrounding efforts and not through an additional tax to its residents.

The City scope of the project was 127.5 miles in total, with approximately 27 miles remaining.
