This document is a Notice of Intent to Award from the Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Procurement Services Department for Invitation to Bid 25048-ITB-DST, soliciting bids for Commercial Water Heaters for Student Nutrition Services. The bid was opened on February 6, 2025, with 25 vendor planholders notified and 8 vendors submitting responses. The procurement seeks various commercial water heater types, including gas water heaters (199,900 BTU), electric water heaters (80-gallon), tankless gas water heaters (199,900 BTU), and mini tank hot water heaters. The estimated annual usage ranges from 15 to 20 units per item, with specific technical requirements such as Energy Star certification, temperature range capabilities, and venting options.

The recommended awards are being made to multiple vendors, including Amalgamated Services, Inc., Ferguson US Holding, Inc., Tampa Winsupply Company, and others, with pricing varying by water heater type and manufacturer. Prices range from approximately $146.98 to $9,311.59 per unit, with warranty terms typically covering 1-3 years for parts and tank, and up to 15 years for heat exchangers on some models. The bid document emphasizes a competitive solicitation process, with a "Cone of Silence" policy prohibiting communication between HCPS employees and third-party representatives during the bidding period. Vendors were required to meet specific qualification requirements, and non-responsive or incomplete bids were excluded from consideration.
