This is a Notice of Intent to Award for Request for Proposal (RFP) 0548FAC-RFP-MOC issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) for Lift Station Water/Wastewater Treatment Plants services. The RFP solicited proposals from qualified contractors to provide maintenance, cleaning, repairs, replacement, installation, inspection, and testing services for lift stations and water/wastewater treatment plants. Five vendors submitted proposals on 4/23/2025, including Ace Septic Tank Service, Apollo Construction & Engineering Services, ClearWater Solutions, D & J Concrete Pros, and U.S. Water Services Corporation. The evaluation committee assessed proposals across four criteria: qualifications and experience (30%), specifications/scope of work (25%), cost/best value (35%), and small business enterprise participation (10%).
The recommendation for award includes three vendors: ClearWater Solutions LLC, D & J Concrete Pros LLC, and U.S. Water Services Corporation. D & J Concrete Pros LLC scored the highest with 76.67 points, followed by ClearWater Solutions and U.S. Water Services Corporation, both with 72.08 points. The solicitation encourages participation from Office of Supplier Development (OSD) certified small business enterprises, with specific emphasis on businesses owned by minorities, women, and service-disabled veterans. The contract will likely include provisions for projects ranging from routine maintenance under $10,000 to larger projects potentially requiring payment and performance bonds, with a maximum 15% markup on materials and engineered drawings.
