The Department of Public Utilities and the Department of Public Works require an agreement with a qualified contractor to provide utility locator services Citywide.
The required locating and marking services were competitively bid by the City of Cooper City, Florida.
The City of Cooper City, Florida’s Bid Number 2015-5-UTL was opened on April 7, 2015 and was awarded to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, Craig A. Smith & Associates, Inc. on April 28, 2015 for a three year initial term with the option to renew for two additional one year periods.
The City of Cooper City exercised the first one year renewal period at the March 27, 2018 Commission Meeting.
