About this file
This is an addendum to a competitive solicitation issued by the School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida, for a Continuing Service Agreement for Design Professionals (DP) and Construction Management (CM) services. The solicitation (0561FAC-RFQ-2026) seeks to establish indefinite-duration contracts with qualified firms to provide architectural design and construction management services on a continuous basis for school district projects. Rather than awarding a fixed number of contracts, the school district intends to award contracts to all responsive, responsible, and qualified firms, with no set number of awardees. Once awarded, firms will receive task orders for specific projects as they arise during the initial three-year contract term, with a potential two-year renewal option. Projects will be assigned based on which firm represents the best fit for the specific project's requirements.
The solicitation applies to continuing services projects valued under $7.5 million, with projects exceeding that threshold subject to a separate selection process. Eligible respondents include architecture firms, engineering firms, and general contractors performing construction management services, with firms evaluated on their individual qualifications rather than requiring full teams at submission. Submissions must include one complete PDF with all required forms and a separate self-running presentation, both in standard 8.5 by 11-inch format. The procurement is conducted in accordance with the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA), Section 287.055, Florida Statutes, and respondents must acknowledge receipt of this addendum with their submission. The statutory threshold of $7.5 million may be adjusted if state law changes, typically through amendment or new solicitation.

Question How many firms do you intend to contract?
Answer It's a continuing services agreement, so you will be awarded one contract to then have task orders issued to you as potential projects come up. There is no way to tell how many projects we will have in that initial three years and the two years that follow as a renewal.
Question Do the summary slides have a size requirement?
Answer All documents, including summary slides, should be 8 1/2 by 11.

Answer Yes, engineering firms can serve as the prime and include architecture firms on the team.
