This is a Price Sheet file related to an RFP for Building Code Inspector Services issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida. The solicitation seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive building code inspection services for district construction, renovation, repair, and capital improvement projects valued under $7.5 million in total construction cost. Required services include plan and specification reviews, on-site structural inspections, compliance enforcement with the Florida Building Code and State Requirements for Educational Facilities, written evaluation reports, OSHA safety inspections, and digital documentation with photographic evidence. A mandatory Q&A session is scheduled for March 25, 2026, at 9:00 AM via Microsoft Teams, with a question submission deadline of April 1, 2026, at 12:00 PM and a proposal submission deadline of April 8, 2026, at 12:00 PM through the VendorLink system. Evaluation is scheduled for April 15, 2026, staff recommendation on April 16, 2026, and School Board presentation on June 2, 2026. The initial contract term runs from June 3, 2026, to June 2, 2027, with four one-year renewal options available contingent upon budget appropriation, satisfactory performance, and continued need.

Pricing must be submitted on an hourly rate basis for four inspector positions (Building, Electrical, Mechanical, and Plumbing) with all-inclusive rates covering travel, mileage, administrative costs, and incidental expenses. All prices shall remain firm for the initial contract term unless mutually agreed otherwise, with any requested price changes requiring manufacturer documentation and HCPS approval at least 60 days in advance. Contractors must employ Florida-licensed Building Code Inspectors holding valid certifications under Chapter 468, Florida Statutes, and maintain current Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation licensure. The RFP does not specify set-asides or restrictions limiting response to particular business classifications, though HCPS encourages vendor registration with the Office of Supplier Development for Small Business Enterprises and requests voluntary information regarding service-disabled veteran status and minority business enterprise designations. All contractors must obtain and maintain valid Jessica Lunsford Act badges at contractor expense prior to accessing district facilities and must provide a Single Point of Contact with guaranteed 24-hour response times for inquiries. HCPS reserves the right to award to multiple firms to ensure adequate coverage and service availability throughout the district.
