Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) is seeking bids for Crowd Based Innovation Services through an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) issued on January 13, 2025, with quotes due by January 27, 2025 at 3:00 PM. The district requires the development and deployment of five targeted surveys across different educational groups: 5th graders (10,000 potential responses), 8th graders (10,000 potential responses), high school students (20,000 potential responses), teachers (13,000 potential responses), and administrators (800 potential responses). Each survey will consist of no more than five questions in multiple-choice and open-ended formats, focusing on technology use with age-appropriate content. The selected vendor must provide a comprehensive, customized report within five days of survey deployment, including a summary of responses for each survey, detailed next steps, and an overarching summary of all surveys. The full project timeline is set at four weeks, with an initial contract term of one year and options to renew for two additional one-year periods. Evaluation criteria will focus on the ability to meet specifications, responsiveness, and past performance, with HCPS reserving the right to accept or reject any bid. The solicitation encourages participation from diverse suppliers, with the district's Office of Supplier Diversity actively supporting small business enterprises and vendors from various backgrounds. Bidders must submit their proposals electronically through VendorLink and include comprehensive documentation such as proof of licenses and insurance. The vendor must comply with various legal requirements, including anti-human trafficking provisions outlined in Section 787.06(13) of Florida Statutes. Vendors are required to complete a Vendor Affidavit certifying they do not engage in coercive labor practices. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the proposal requires vendors to include all associated costs such as labor, supervision, equipment, travel, and incidental expenses. All pricing must remain firm for at least one year, with potential price adjustments subject to district approval. The district may award multiple contracts to the lowest responsive and responsible bidders, ensuring flexibility in vendor selection and service delivery.
