About this file

This Addendum #1 to Competitive Solicitation 25389-ITB-DST, issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Procurement Services on July 31, 2025, modifies the District's Invitation to Bid for armored car services. The solicitation, originally due July 30, 2025, has been reopened due to incomplete price sheet submissions from initial bidders. HCPS is seeking armored vehicle services for cash pickups at approximately 240 district locations, with service frequency varying by location type: high schools receiving three pickups per week, middle schools and elementary schools receiving two pickups per week, and administrative centers receiving service as needed. The addendum clarifies that the price sheet's "annual" designation refers to the school year period, not a single calendar year, and specifies that bidders must enter per-trip rates in the pricing column, with total costs calculated by multiplying estimated annual trips by the per-trip rate. All respondents must resubmit bids using the HCPS Excel spreadsheet and acknowledge receipt of this addendum with their submission through www.myvendorlink.com.

The addendum addresses critical pricing clarifications that were causing bidder confusion during the original submission period. Specifically, vendors must enter per-trip rates of $15 in Column E of the price sheet, and total cost calculations should reflect the annual number of trips multiplied by the per-trip rate. The addendum indicates that Row 12, Item 6 of the price sheet requires further elaboration from HCPS, though the specific requirement is not fully detailed in the addendum itself. All modifications outlined in this addendum become part of the competitive solicitation and supersede conflicting provisions in the original ITB documents. Bidders previously submitting incomplete proposals are required to resubmit complete bids if they wish to remain under consideration for this contract.

Hello Hillsborough County Public Schools, Please clarify Columns D, E, F and Row 12 of the Price Sheet.

Column F Total Cost is calculated based on Column C x Column E, is this correct? per the first question above. Row 12, Item 6
