About this opportunity

Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive Commercial Plumbing Services contract for their Student Nutrition Services (SNS), targeting plumbing infrastructure across 57 school cafeterias. The project requires qualified firms to provide new installations, renovations, upgrades, and replacement of existing boiler systems with independent tankless water heaters and 80-gallon electric/gas commercial water heaters with recirculating pumps. Contractors must complete all plumbing-related tasks while ensuring compliance with safety regulations and applicable codes, with work spanning three geographic areas: West, Central, and East. Technical questions were due by March 4, 2025, with proposals due on March 24, 2025, and an estimated contract award date of May 6, 2025. The evaluation will use a 100-point scoring system, with 30 points for scope of work understanding, 30 points for qualifications and experience, and 40 points for cost/value. Minimum qualifications include three years of relevant experience, authorization to do business in Florida, E-Verify compliance, and appropriate insurance coverage.

The solicitation appears to provide opportunities for small and local businesses, with potential preference given to such vendors in the event of tied proposals. HCPS reserves the right to contract with up to three primary vendors across the three geographical areas. The contract will have an initial term beginning upon board approval, with potential automatic renewals for up to four additional one-year periods, contingent on budget appropriations and performance. The estimated annual budget for this contract is approximately $1,000,000, with payments generally made based on actual labor and materials used. Notably, the procurement process includes several federal compliance requirements, including USDA funding regulations, drug-free workplace certifications, and various federal forms related to lobbying, debarment, and funding disclosures. The Notice of Intent to Award indicates that eight proposers submitted bids, with Knotts Plumbing Services, Thomas G. Kamprath, and Sherman Mechanical Contractors emerging as the top-scoring vendors across the three geographical areas.
