This is a Price Sheet Excel document for Invitation to Bid (ITB) 25562-EST issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida for the procurement of forklifts. The bid solicits pricing for lithium sit-down electric rider lift trucks with a minimum 5,000-pound capacity designed for handling industrial materials such as steel and lumber. The district requires an estimated annual usage of two units, with bids due Monday, December 8, 2025, at 4:30 PM via www.myvendorLink.com. Delivery is required within 15 days following purchase approval. The contract will begin upon board approval and includes potential for automatic renewal for up to four additional one-year periods, contingent on appropriations, contractor performance, and continued need. The estimated budget for the contract term is approximately $108,000.

Vendor pricing must include freight, warranties, and training, with all pricing entered in the designated blue sections of the spreadsheet. The procurement structure includes two line items: the purchase of two lithium electric forklifts and a cost-plus markup arrangement for as-needed purchases not to exceed 15% above the vendor's cost. HCPS participates in the Small Business Encouragement Program (SBEP), requiring at least 20% of district expenditures to be reinvested with certified small local businesses in the Tampa Bay area. Vendors must complete mandatory affidavits including the "Contracting with Entities of Foreign Countries of Concern Prohibited Affidavit" and the "Vendor Affidavit Regarding the Use of Coercion for Labor and Services" to ensure compliance with Florida Statutes. Vendors are encouraged to self-identify as small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses and can register with the district's Office of Supplier Development.
