J061--PROJECT 675-25-804, Bid-Build (BB) Install Water Tower Projector System at Lake Nona

The Lake Nona water tower projector installation is a specialized electrical systems project (NAICS 238210) that creates a temporary high-value equipment exposure during staging and nighttime installation work. The projector equipment itself and the contractor's lift/rigging gear parked on-site between shifts align with mobile surveillance tower coverage rather than fixed infrastructure. The scope centers on installation rather than construction of the tower, which suggests a compact work zone and a shorter duration (likely 30-60 days), but the equipment value and overnight exposure justify dedicated monitoring. The notice posted May 9 as a presolicitation on SAM.gov, which places the project in pre-budget stage. The solicitation has not yet opened, which means the contractor has not priced security into the bid. This is the best timing tier for engagement: once the bid is submitted with a line item from a different vendor, Zedcor has to displace an incumbent. The window is narrow, probably 14-21 days before solicitation closes. The project sits in Lake Nona, Florida, 443 miles from Zedcor's Atlanta branch and outside the 300-mile coverage radius. No warm-intro path exists in the geography. Recommend deferring this lead unless Zedcor is actively planning Florida footprint expansion; alternatively, note the lead for review if Atlanta opens a partner arrangement in central Florida. The buying contact is most likely the GC's project manager or the Navy's contracting officer listed in the full solicitation when it posts.

  Saw the Lake Nona water tower projector presolicitation post May 9. Outside Atlanta's 300-mile radius, but if you're covering Florida partners, worth a call on tower coverage for the staging yard before the contractor prices security into the bid?
