About this file
This Addendum 1 to Competitive Solicitation 26040-RFP-MST is issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Procurement Services on February 16, 2026, to clarify and modify the Request for Proposals for Tree Trimming and Removal Services. The addendum addresses questions submitted by potential bidders regarding the solicitation documents and provides corrections to the original RFP. Specifically, the addendum updates Section 8 - Small Business Encouragement (SBE) Program and corrects a non-functioning Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) website link that was referenced on page 56 of the original RFP. All potential bidders, proposers, and respondents are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum with their bid submissions using the form provided in the competitive solicitation. The addendum remains part of the overall competitive solicitation, and all original documents and previously issued addenda continue in full force and effect except as modified herein.
This addendum does not establish new pricing terms, set-asides, or funding requirements but rather serves to correct and clarify existing solicitation provisions, particularly those related to small business utilization and certification requirements. Bidders must consider the updated SBE Program information when preparing their proposals to ensure compliance with HCPS's small business encouragement expectations and evaluation criteria. The addendum is governed by the laws of the State of Florida and applies to all electronic proposal submissions required via VendorLink by the original deadline of March 2, 2026, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time.
