About this opportunity

Pinellas County School District is soliciting sealed electronic proposals for Professional Services - Continuing Contracts (RFQ #24-JB-024) to provide professional design and service firms for district projects with estimated construction costs under $7.5 million. The contract period will run from January 2, 2025, to January 1, 2027, with potential two additional one-year renewals. Proposals are due electronically through the district's OpenGov Procurement portal by 2:30 pm on December 3, 2024, with no exceptions for technical difficulties. The district will evaluate proposals using a 100-point scoring system that assesses financial responsibility, references, firm location, staff qualifications, firm approach, experience, and past performance. Evaluation criteria include detailed assessments of proposing firms' capabilities, with points awarded for professional licenses, financial statements, staff qualifications, project experience, and geographical proximity to Pinellas County. Proposers must submit comprehensive documentation including professional licenses, financial statements, references, staff resumes, project experience examples, and various required affidavits and certifications.

The procurement appears open to a wide range of professional design and service firms without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Firms will be required to maintain specific insurance coverage, including General Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence for contracts under $500,000 and $5,000,000 for contracts $500,000 and over. The district reserves the right to shortlist proposers and conduct interviews as part of the selection process, with an aim to promote equitable distribution of work by considering the total dollar value of projects awarded to each firm in recent years. New firms will receive a baseline evaluation score. Insurance requirements include listing the School Board as an "Additional Insured" and "Certificate Holder" on all policies, with insurance companies needing a Best's Financial Strength Rating of "A-V" or better. While specific contract values are not explicitly stated, the procurement is structured to support ongoing professional services for district construction and design projects with a maximum project construction cost of $7.5 million.
