Invitation to Become a Vegetation Clearance Contractor

Fort Loudoun Electric Cooperative (FLEC) is creating a list of contractors that are interested in bidding on hourly and intermittent vegetation clearance work needed for the extension of or improvement of existing powerline easements. FLEC will evaluate the bids for the hourly work and plans to put one (1) hourly crew on regular work needed by the Cooperative this month. The Cooperative is still contractually working with two (2) very capable contractors doing regular unit work clearing circuits, Stricklan Tree Service and the Real Tree Service that presently help FLEC maintain the existing powerline easements of the Cooperative; that work is not up for bid or consideration at this time. FLEC is reaching out to the public to establish a qualified bidder list of line clearance contractors that are willing to work hourly work and/or submit bids to the Cooperative for use in pricing for vegetation work necessary for the Cooperative to construct new powerlines or to address concerning trees.

Contractors applying are expected to have the necessary insurance to meet the requirements set by the Cooperative, employ personnel capable of addressing whatever type of line clearance work that the Cooperative may need to maintain existing power lines and clear rights-of-way suitable for new powerlines to be established, and their own line clearance equipment. It is imperative that those applying have experience and capabilities to safely and efficiently clear lines. Some assistance for storm restoration events may be needed from time-to-time in adverse weather conditions. Those interested will be asked to pick up a packet of information from the Cooperative and submit their pricing that will be effective for a year as related to hourly vegetation clearance work, proof of insurance, business licensure, and any other information necessary by close of business on October 16th at the corporate offices located at 116 Tellico Port Road, Vonore, TN 37885.

FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT the Fort Loudoun Electric Cooperative Vegetation Manager, John Latham, at (423) 519-7304 or email him at [email protected] .
