R3M Miscellaneous Facilities Construction Term Contract 11

The Hillsborough County Facilities Management and Real Estate Services Department is requesting competitive sealed bids for R3M Miscellaneous Facilities Construction Term Contract 11 (IFB-26-00401), a $16.5 million term contract for miscellaneous construction and renovation work at county facilities, with bids due November 17, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. A 10% Small Business Enterprise subcontractor participation goal applies.

The scope encompasses interior and exterior building repairs and renovations, re-roofing, site work including utilities and landscaping, electrical/mechanical/plumbing work, and special construction at various county facilities. Work is authorized through individual work orders, typically valued between $10,000 and $150,000 but potentially outside this range at county discretion. The county may award up to three contracts to the three lowest responsive and responsible bidders at $6 million, $5.5 million, and $5 million respectively. Contractors must be Florida-licensed General Contractors or Building Contractors and maintain a local office within Hillsborough County and four adjacent counties (Pinellas, Pasco, Polk, and Manatee). Pricing is established using RSMeans National Average data with an annual update mechanism based on work order approval date; contractors submit a multiplier to three decimal places applied to unit prices, with overhead and profit capped at 15% for subcontractor work on orders up to $125,000 and 12% for orders exceeding $125,000, or 10% for self-performed work.

The contract commences upon notice and expires on the fourth anniversary or when authorized work equals the awarded amount, whichever occurs first, with an optional one additional two-year renewal at the county's sole discretion. Bidders must submit a bid bond equal to five percent of the bid amount; successful awardees must provide performance and payment bonds each equal to 100% of the awarded contract value within ten days of award notice. All progress payments are subject to 5% retainage. Questions are due 14 calendar days after solicitation issuance, site visit, or pre-bid conference, whichever is later. Workers requiring access to school grounds when students are present must undergo Level 2 background screening per the Jessica Lunsford Act.
