About this opportunity

The Hernando County School District is soliciting sealed proposals from qualified professional firms to develop a Comprehensive Educational Facilities Plan (CEFP) for the district. The RFP, identified as No. 26-918-08, seeks a firm with demonstrated experience in educational facilities planning and comprehensive plan development, with a strong emphasis on community engagement. Required deliverables include calculating student generation rates, conducting geospatial analysis of residential development, providing 10-year and 20-year enrollment projections, and developing strategic facility planning recommendations. Proposers must have AICP-certified planners and in-house geographic information systems professionals. The evaluation process will be comprehensive, with proposals scored on experience, qualifications, approach, methodology, fee schedule, and references, totaling 100 possible points. Oral presentations and interviews will constitute a second evaluation phase. The RFP was released on July 31, 2025, with proposals due on August 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET. The contract term will be three years from School Board approval, with the possibility of one three-year renewal. The district plans to adopt the CEFP by October 2026 and implement school attendance boundary changes for the 2027-28 school year.

The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. An optional add-on for an AI-supported digital community engagement platform is available to proposers. Firms must submit a financial statement for qualification, and pricing details and fee schedules are to be included as part of the proposal. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the RFP indicates a not-to-exceed maximum cost structure for the services. The document suggests the district is seeking a comprehensive, innovative approach to educational facilities planning that involves extensive community input and strategic long-term planning. Proposers will need to demonstrate their capability to provide a holistic, forward-looking plan that addresses the Hernando County School District's educational infrastructure needs for the next decade and beyond. The successful firm will be expected to develop a plan that supports the district's educational goals while considering demographic trends, residential development, and community needs.
