The School Board of Citrus County, Florida (CCSB) has issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) #2025-01-ITB for district-wide plumbing services, seeking a qualified Licensed Plumbing Contractor to provide comprehensive plumbing maintenance and repair solutions. The procurement aims to establish a two-year contract from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2026, with potential for three additional one-year renewals. Services will encompass general plumbing repairs, water and sewer line installations, sump pump work, underground piping repairs, and hook-up services on an as-needed basis. Required qualifications include a valid Florida Plumbing Contractor's License, comprehensive insurance coverage, drug-free workplace certification, and successful background checks. Key bid submission details include a May 13, 2024 deadline for questions and a May 23, 2024 bid submission deadline at 2:30 PM. Evaluation criteria incorporate hourly labor rates for different skill levels (Journeyman Plumber, Apprentice Plumber, Helper/Laborer), with rates differentiated between standard and after-hours work, and a maximum 10% markup allowance for materials, subcontractor services, and equipment rentals. The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement process resulted in four total bid submissions, with Don's Plumbing of Citrus County, Inc. selected as the primary vendor and BG Buck, LLC dba Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Crystal River selected as the alternate vendor. While the CCSB does not guarantee a minimum or maximum contract value, the bid establishes firm, fixed hourly labor rates and percentage markups for parts and materials.
