This is a price sheet for a Request for Proposal (RFP 0558FAC) issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida for Building Code Inspection Services. The RFP 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. 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 Inspector, Electrical Inspector, Mechanical Inspector, and Plumbing Inspector, with all-inclusive rates covering travel, mileage, administrative costs, and reimbursable expenses. The price sheet also requests secondary and alternate pricing for plan review services on additions, remodeling, and renovations, as well as new construction, offered as flat fees per project or per square foot alternatives. All awarded contractors must employ Florida-licensed Building Code Inspectors holding valid certifications under Chapter 468, Florida Statutes, with staff possessing current Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation licensure or qualifying as Florida Licensed Architects or Engineers. All contractors must obtain and maintain valid Jessica Lunsford Act badges at contractor expense and provide a Single Point of Contact with guaranteed 24-hour response times. HCPS reserves the right to award to multiple firms to ensure adequate coverage and service availability, and all prices shall remain firm for the initial contract term unless mutually agreed otherwise. The RFP does not disclose specific budget allocations or identify incumbent vendors, though HCPS encourages voluntary vendor registration with the Office of Supplier Development for Small Business Enterprises and requests information regarding service-disabled veteran status and minority or women's business enterprise certifications.
