About this file

This is a Notice of Intent to Award document issued by the School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida, regarding continuing service contracts for Architectural Design and Construction Management Services. The School Board seeks to establish multiple continuing service contracts to support architectural design and construction management services for projects anticipated over the coming years. All professional services will be procured and performed in accordance with the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA) under Section 287.055, Florida Statutes. The notice indicates the Board's intent to award contracts to qualified firms capable of providing comprehensive design and construction management support on an as-needed, continuous basis for future school projects.

The contracting process follows Florida's competitive negotiation requirements for professional services, which mandate that firms be selected based on qualifications and experience rather than price alone. The continuing service contract structure allows the School Board flexibility to engage pre-qualified architectural and construction management firms as project needs arise, rather than conducting separate procurements for each individual project. This approach enables efficient project delivery while ensuring compliance with state procurement statutes governing the selection of professional service providers in the education sector.
