26-0106-TG_Addendum_1_Cancellation.pdf

This document is an Addendum No. 1 issued by the School District of Manatee County Purchasing Department in Florida, canceling the Request for Proposal (RFP) for Energy Consulting Services (SDMC No. 26-0106-TG). The RFP, which was originally scheduled to solicit qualified energy consulting firms to provide comprehensive services across approximately 61 district facilities totaling 8.5 million square feet, has been canceled and will be re-issued at a later date. The original procurement was designed to support energy auditing, historical energy data analysis, identification of energy-saving opportunities with cost-benefit assessments, development of energy efficiency plans, procurement assistance for energy-efficient equipment, and ongoing monitoring and verification of implemented measures. The original timeline included a request for information deadline of February 18, 2026, with proposals due by March 25, 2026, evaluation scheduled for April 2, 2026, Notice of Intent to Award on April 6, 2026, and School Board approval expected on April 28, 2026, with an initial contract term running one year from April 29, 2026, through April 30, 2027, and options for renewal for up to three additional one-year periods.

The cancellation of this RFP requires all interested parties to note that failure to file a protest within the time prescribed in Section 120.57(3) of the Florida Statutes or failure to post required bond or other security within the allowed timeframe shall constitute a waiver of proceedings under Chapter 120 of the Florida Statutes. No specific pricing information, set-aside designations, incumbent vendor information, or funding sources are applicable to this cancellation notice, as the original solicitation specifications, evaluation criteria requiring 100 points across approach methodology, team qualifications, case studies, project timeline, and cost structure, and insurance requirements of $1,000,000 comprehensive general liability and $1,000,000 automobile liability are now null pending the re-issuance of the RFP.
