This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) document for Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) seeking qualified contractors to provide commercial electrical services across its 235-campus district serving approximately 225,000 students. The scope of work encompasses high-voltage installation, maintenance, repairs, upgrades, modernization, rewiring, circuit breaker and panel installations, and diagnostics, with contractors required to provide all labor, materials, supervision, equipment, and incidentals necessary to complete work requests. The services are structured by three maintenance areas—West, Central, and East—with bidders permitted to propose for all three areas, individual areas, or any combination thereof. Questions regarding the solicitation are due by August 28, 2026, with proposals due September 11, 2026. HCPS reserves the right to make awards by item, area, or on a district-wide basis with one or more contractors, and the contract will span a specified term with the potential for HCPS to add additional schools within any maintenance area during the contract period at rates bid.

Pricing is structured on an hourly basis for three classifications of personnel: licensed master electricians, journeymen electricians, and electrical helpers, with separate rates for standard hours (Monday-Friday, 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM) and non-standard hours. Estimated annual usage includes 2,800 standard and 150 non-standard hours for master electricians; 6,488 standard and 140 non-standard hours for journeymen; and 1,000 standard and 50 non-standard hours for helpers. Pricing also includes call-out fees, equipment rentals, and a cost-plus markup not to exceed 15 percent, exclusive of taxes. Evaluation criteria are weighted as follows: qualifications and experience (30 percent), specifications and scope understanding (25 percent), cost and best value (35 percent), and utilization of HCPS-registered Small Business Enterprises (10 percent). Contractors must possess expertise in high-voltage systems, switchgear, and coordination with Tampa Electric Company (TECO), and personnel with student contact or access to school funds must comply with Level II fingerprinting and background screening under the Jessica Lunsford Act. Proposals must be submitted electronically via VendorLink, and payment follows Florida's Prompt Payment Act at Net 45 days. Vendors must execute required affidavits certifying compliance with foreign-entity prohibitions and labor-coercion statutes before submission.
