Addendum_1_-_Revised_Price_Sheet_and_Additional_Attachments.pdf

This is Addendum 1 to a competitive solicitation issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida for Supplemental Nurse Staffing Services (RFP 25349-RFP-DST). The addendum, issued on August 8, 2025, revises the price sheet for the solicitation and provides additional reference documents to bidders. The procurement seeks qualified firms to supply Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs), Registered Nurses (RNs), and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) with a minimum of two years of pediatric experience, English fluency, and appropriate Florida licensure. Nursing services are required to support eligible students in accordance with the School Health Services Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). Proposal responses are due on August 29, 2025, at 3:00 PM. The initial contract term commences after Board approval and continues through the first anniversary month, with potential automatic renewals for up to four additional one-year periods.

The addendum replaces the original price sheet with a revised version and attaches two informational documents: the School Board Agenda for the current contract 20155A-DST-KJ identifying existing vendors, pricing, and RN/LPN vacancies, and the 2024-2025 expenditure report for contracted RN and LPN services. The estimated annual budget for this contract is $11,650,000, with funding sources consisting of $1,150,000 (10%) from IDEA and $10,500,000 (90%) from state and local sources. The pricing structure establishes hourly rates for different nursing staff categories based on estimated annual usage of 1,640 hours per category, with compensation rates varying by credential level (RNs with BSN degrees receive higher compensation than LPN-equivalent rates for associate degree holders). HCPS currently partners with eight supplemental staffing nursing agencies and seeks to expand this network. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of this addendum with their proposal submission and are required to complete specific pricing sections without handwriting or converting the document to PDF format.
