This file consists of sample summary slides for a competitive Request for Proposal issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida for Building Code Inspection Services (RFP 0558FAC). The services encompass comprehensive building code inspection and compliance oversight for district construction, renovation, repair, and capital improvement projects valued under $7.5 million in total construction cost. Required deliverables include plan and specification reviews, on-site structural inspections, compliance enforcement, written evaluation reports, OSHA safety inspections, and digital documentation with photographic evidence ensuring adherence to the Florida Building Code (FBC), State Requirements for Educational Facilities (SREF), and all applicable state and local regulations. The 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 awarded contractors must employ Florida-licensed Building Code Inspectors holding valid certifications under Chapter 468, Florida Statutes and current Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) licensure, or qualify as Florida Licensed Architects or Engineers. All contractors must obtain and maintain valid Jessica Lunsford Act (JLA) badges at contractor expense and provide a Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for account management with guaranteed 24-hour response times. 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 and requests voluntary information regarding service-disabled veteran status, minority business enterprise designations, and women's business enterprise certifications. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available materials. Proposals are evaluated across four key criteria areas: Qualification and Experience, Proposed Project Staff, Project Management, and Recent Volume of Work with HCPS. HCPS reserves the right to award to multiple firms to ensure adequate coverage and service availability throughout the district.
