About this file
This Notice of Intent to Award is issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) for Request for Proposals (RFP) #25100-RFP-MST for General Planning Services. The RFP seeks qualified planning consultants, with a preference for those holding American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) certification. Proposals were received from seven firms, including Alfred Benesch & Company, CivilSurv Design Group Inc, Claire Weisz Architects LLP, Halff Associates Inc, JBrown Professional Group Inc, and Vanasse Hangen Brustlin Inc. DLR Group was deemed non-responsive for failing to provide proof of AICP certification. The evaluation committee recommends awarding contracts to all responsive bidders, utilizing a 100-point scoring system that evaluates specifications/scope of work (25 points), qualifications and experience (30 points), and cost/best value (35 points), with an additional 10 points possible for Small Business Enterprise (SBE) vendors.
The contract will replace an existing agreement (#20044-MST-IV) expiring on June 18, 2025, with an estimated annual budget of $300,000. The initial contract term will begin upon Board approval and can automatically renew for up to four additional one-year periods, contingent on budget appropriations and contractor performance. Pricing is expected to remain firm during the initial term. The procurement is structured to create a flexible pool of planning consultants that can be strategically deployed based on specific project requirements and the unique expertise of selected firms. The evaluation process considered each vendor's ability to provide deliverables within the required timeframe, their experience in related commodities and services, and the overall value they can provide to HCPS.
