About this opportunity
Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) in Florida is soliciting bids for the procurement of new forklifts through Invitation to Bid (ITB) 25562-ITB-EST. The district seeks to acquire lithium battery-powered forklifts with a minimum 5,000-pound capacity, specifically designed for handling industrial materials like steel and lumber. The current forklift in use is over 20 years old and requires significant repairs, necessitating replacement. Bids are due on Monday, December 8, 2025, at 4:30 PM and must be submitted via www.myvendorLink.com. The procurement includes two primary line items: a lithium sit-down electric rider lift truck with an estimated annual usage of 2 units, and a cost-plus markup arrangement not exceeding 15% for as-needed purchases. Vendors must provide comprehensive pricing that includes freight, warranties, and training, with delivery required within 15 days following purchase approval. Additionally, the sites will offer a forklift driving course for certification, and the forklifts must be capable of clearing a 14-inch gradient between the parking lot and adjacent road while carrying full loads.
The procurement is part of Hillsborough County Public Schools' Small Business Encouragement Program (SBEP), which aims to reinvest at least 20% of district expenditures with certified small local businesses in the Tampa Bay area. Vendors must complete specific affidavits, including a "Contracting with Entities of Foreign Countries of Concern Prohibited Affidavit" and a "Vendor Affidavit Regarding the Use of Coercion for Labor and Services," which ensure compliance with Florida Statutes regarding foreign entity restrictions and human trafficking prevention. The estimated budget for this procurement is approximately $108,000 for the contract term, with the potential for automatic renewal for up to four additional one-year periods, contingent on appropriations, contractor performance, and continued need. The initial contract term will begin upon board approval. Vendors are encouraged to register with the district's Office of Supplier Development and can self-identify as small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The procurement process emphasizes local economic development and ethical business practices while meeting the district's specific equipment needs.
