About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Award for Invitation to Bid 25389-ITB-DST Armored Car Services issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) on August 7, 2025. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide armored car services for various school locations, including high schools, middle schools, elementary schools, administrative centers, and special centers. The bid was opened on July 16, 2025, with notifications sent to 6 vendor planholders, and responses received from 2 vendors. The services include weekly armored car pickups at different school sites, with an estimated annual usage varying from 2 to 5 weekly pickups depending on the location.
Mid-Florida Armored & ATM Services Inc. was recommended for award, while The Brink's Company was deemed non-responsive for submitting exceptions and failing to provide general terms and conditions. The pricing is standardized at $16.25 per weekly pickup across different locations, with an additional provision for as-needed services with a maximum 15% markup. The bid includes a standard protest period and is subject to HCPS Procurement Policy 6320, which enforces a Cone of Silence prohibiting communication about the competitive solicitation between HCPS employees and third-party representatives from the time of release until award.
