About this file
This is an Addendum to a Competitive Solicitation issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Tampa, Florida, modifying the Request for Proposal (RFP) numbered 25200-RFP-MST for Plumbing Services. The addendum clarifies the application of overtime rates and service hour requirements for contractors bidding on this solicitation. Specifically, HCPS has established standard service hours of 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding HCPS holidays, with no premium rates payable for weekend or holiday work unless explicitly approved in writing in advance. The addendum addresses a discrepancy in the original bid sheet, which included overtime rate line items despite the solicitation's specification that overtime work would not be compensated at premium rates without prior written authorization. Contractors must acknowledge receipt of this addendum with their bid submission using the form provided in the original competitive solicitation documents.
The addendum clarifies that overtime compensation, calculated at rates higher than the standard Licensed Journeyman and General Laborer rates, applies only to pre-approved work performed outside regular hours—specifically Monday through Friday from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., and on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays. If a vendor voluntarily requests to work after 6:00 p.m., on weekends, or on holidays without prior approval, HCPS will not compensate overtime rates. However, if a specific job requirement mandates work during these hours and receives written pre-approval from HCPS, overtime compensation will be provided. This addendum is governed by the laws of the State of Florida and was issued by Rebecca Baez, Procurement Officer, on December 1, 2025.

Questions and Answers
Question
Can you explain how overtime rates apply? Bid sheet has OT rates however, invites states no OT throughout? 6.2.1 Service Hours. Service is called for only between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding HCPS holidays, unless otherwise specified. 7.1.4.4 Premium or Weekend Rates. HCPS will not pay any premium for weekends or holidays unless approved in writing before the provisions of services. 7.2.7 Service Orders. The Contractor shall adhere to the following: • HCPS will not pay any premium for weekends or holidays. Licensed Journeyman Standard Labor Rate:
Includes all labor and required equipment. Monday-Friday 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM General Laborer Standard Labor Rate: Includes all labor and required equipment. Monday-Friday 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM "Licensed Journeyman Overtime Labors Rate: Includes all labor and required equipment. Monday- Friday 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM Saturday/Sunday/Holidays" "General Laborer Overtime Labors Rate:
Includes all labor and required equipment. Monday-Friday 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM Saturday/Sunday/Holidays"
Answer
For HCPS work hours are 6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday HCPS will not pay a premium rate (OT) for weekends or holidays unless approved in writing in advance. OT which must be pre-approved is normally Monday-Friday 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM Saturday/Sunday/Holidays. If a vendor requests to work after 6:00PM, weekends, or holidays HCPS will not pay OT. If the specific job mandates the vendor works after 6:00 PM, or on a weekend or a holiday, with pre-approval, HCPS will then pay the OT.
This Addendum shall be construed and governed by the laws of the State of Florida.
