About this file
This Addendum #3 document, issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Procurement Services on February 16, 2026, provides clarifications and modifications to the competitive solicitation 26028-RFP-MST for Fencing Services. The addendum addresses questions submitted by potential bidders regarding specifications, material substitutions, and product specifications across various fence types including chain-link, vinyl-coated chain-link, wood privacy, and decorative fencing. Key clarifications include confirmation that no mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled, that the solicitation covers fencing needs on an as-needed basis rather than a specific single project, and that vendors may propose substitute materials meeting the same specifications and quality as specified products. The addendum resolves specification discrepancies regarding fence heights (confirming 8-foot fences shall have no bottom tension wire or rail, matching 4-foot and 6-foot specifications), wood post dimensions (clarifying Line Item 201 requires 6" x 6" x 6' posts while Line Item 202 requires 4" x 4" x 8' posts), and material grades (specifying Pressure Treated #2 Grade for wood posts and rails). Additionally, the addendum confirms that frameworks and fittings for specialty vinyl-coated chain-link fencing shall be powder coated, establishes approved equal products for materials no longer carried by original manufacturers (Tongue & Groove PVC Fence may be Catalyst, Homeland, or approved equal; Imperial Fence replaced with Montage Plus 3-Rail), and specifies pipe outer diameters for handrails at 2" O.D. and pickets at 3/4" O.D.
The addendum clarifies gate specifications for Line Items 205-207, confirming that Item 205 shall use Powder Coated Gray Type A gates, Item 206 shall use Powder Coated Black Type A gates, and Item 207 shall use Decorative Type A Gate in Montage Style or approved equal, with no Type B gates included in the bid. Item 236 is clarified as a 42" Aluminum Grab Rail rather than an "Aluminum Barrier Railing." All bidders are required to acknowledge receipt of this addendum with their bid submission on the form provided in the competitive solicitation. This addendum constitutes a formal modification to the original RFP documents and all previously issued addenda, which remain in full force and effect except as modified herein.
