About this file
This document is an Addendum to a Competitive Solicitation issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) for Hood Cleaning Services within their Student Nutrition Services department. The solicitation (No. 25406-ITB-DST) covers hood cleaning services for approximately 218 school sites, with pricing structured for single, double, and triple hood configurations. The previous contract, awarded on 8/22/2023 and commenced on 8/23/2023, was a 1-year contract with options to renew for four additional 1-year periods. HCPS is currently rebidding the contract due to pricing issues.
The pricing for hood cleaning services is itemized as $254.12 per single hood, $329.02 per double hood, and $399.80 per triple hood. The solicitation is federally funded, and therefore does not have preferences for small business enterprises or require DBE, WMBE, or MBE certification. HCPS has specified that they do not want services bundled and instead prefer itemization by school site. Bidders are required to review the entire Invitation to Bid (ITB) and submit all required documentation by the specified bid due date, with HCPS indicating they will not review bids before the official submission deadline.
