About this file
This is an addendum to a competitive solicitation issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Tampa, Florida, modifying the evaluation criteria for the Tree Trimming and Removal Services solicitation (26040-RFP-MST). Addendum 2, issued on March 2, 2026, amends Section 2.4.1 of the original solicitation to revise how evaluation points are awarded for the utilization of HCPS-registered Small Business Enterprises (SBE). The addendum modifies the evaluation weighting for SBE utilization to a scale based on the percentage of total HCPS contract dollars allocated to HCPS-registered vendors, with bidders earning one point for every 10 percent of projected dollar expenditures directed to registered SBE subcontractors. This amendment encourages contractors to submit detailed information through the required "SBEP Subcontractor Utilization Letter of Intent" demonstrating their commitment to partnering with small business enterprises.
The point allocation structure under this addendum provides no points for allocations of 0 to 9 percent of contract funding to HCPS-registered SBE vendors, with incremental increases up to higher point allocations as the percentage of SBE funding increases. Notably, the addendum specifies that no points are awarded for federally funded solicitations under this SBE utilization criterion. All bidders and proposers are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum with their formal bid or proposal submission using the form provided in the original competitive solicitation documents. The addendum is governed by the laws of the State of Florida and was issued by Christy Perales, Procurement Officer for HCPS Procurement Services.
