Portable and Miscellaneous Structure Demolition Services

Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) is seeking bids for Portable and Miscellaneous Structure Demolition Services through solicitation number 0545FAC-ITB-MOC. The procurement covers comprehensive demolition and disposal services for various district structures, including portables, sheds, greenhouses, covered areas, patios, and miscellaneous small structures across district properties. Vendors must provide all necessary labor, materials, supervision, equipment, and incidentals to complete demolition projects, with specific requirements for site cleaning, debris disposal, barricading, grading, and optional sod installation. The initial contract term begins upon board approval, with potential for four additional one-year renewals, contingent on budget appropriations and contractor performance. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for November 22, 2024, at 8:00 AM, with technical questions due by December 5, 2024, and bid submissions required by January 8, 2025, at 3:00 PM. The solicitation requires detailed pricing for demolition of structures ranging from 24' x 32' to 24' x 60' relocatable buildings, with estimated annual usage between 1-12 units and comprehensive unit pricing for associated services.

The procurement emphasizes the Small Business Encouragement (SBE) Program, actively encouraging participation from small, woman-owned, minority-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The bid allows for potential contract awards by geographic area, with possibilities for primary and backup contractors across three maintenance zones. Vendors must demonstrate comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, automobile liability, and pollution liability insurance. The Notice of Intent to Award indicates nine vendors submitted responses, with Cross Construction Services, Inc. and Cross Environmental Services, Inc. appearing as recommended awardees. Pricing demonstrates significant variation, with demolition costs for a standard 24' x 60' relocatable ranging from $6,400 to $14,400 per unit. While no explicit total contract value is specified, the comprehensive pricing structure suggests a flexible, unit-price based contract allowing HCPS to request demolition services on an as-needed basis. Payment terms are set at Net 45 days, with potential use of purchasing cards for some transactions.
