About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Award issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Procurement Services Department for Request for Proposals 25200-RFP-MST for Plumbing Services across three geographical areas (West, Central, and East). HCPS sought qualified contractors to provide comprehensive plumbing services including general repairs, emergency services, gas line work, leak detection, water heater and boiler services, sewer line repairs, and surface restoration. The solicitation was distributed to 49 vendors via VendorLink and 1,938 vendors via Euna Open Bids (DemandStar), with five proposals received by the November 10, 2025 deadline. The evaluation committee assessed proposals using a weighted criteria system: 30% for qualifications and experience, 25% for specifications and scope of work understanding, 35% for cost and best value, and 10% for Small Business Enterprise (SBE) utilization. HCPS issued the Notice of Intent to Award on December 1, 2025, recommending Apollo Construction & Engineering Services, Inc. for Area 1 West, Larson Plumbing, Inc. for Area 2 Central, and Ackerman Plumbing, Inc. for Area 3 East. The initial contract term includes School Board approval with potential for automatic renewals up to four additional one-year periods.
Protests concerning HCPS's award decision must be filed within the timeframe prescribed by Florida Statutes 120.57(3) to the Procurement Services Department at 901 East Kennedy Boulevard, Tampa, Florida 33602, or via email to corey.murphy@hcps.net. Three of the ten proposals received were classified as SBE vendors, and two were classified as SBE with local designation. The RFP anticipated most projects would be under $10,000 with estimated annual usage of 6,400 standard labor hours and 466 overtime hours, though specific budget amounts were not disclosed in the award notice. A Cone of Silence policy (HCPS Policy 6320) prohibits communication regarding the active competitive solicitation between HCPS employees and third parties from solicitation release through final award by the School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida.
