RFQ for Continuing Roofing & Bldg. Envelope Consultant Services

The Hernando County School Board (HCSB) is seeking qualified architectural and engineering firms to provide continuing roofing and building envelope consultant services through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 9009-2506-303. The procurement aims to establish a two-year contract with an option for a two-year renewal for professional consulting services covering evaluation, design, and construction administration of districtwide roofing and building envelope projects. Individual projects will be limited to an estimated construction cost not exceeding $7,500,000. Qualified respondents must be registered in Florida, have been in business for at least three consecutive years, and completed a minimum of five projects up to $7.5 million in value. The evaluation process will be qualification-based, with a Jury Panel scoring submissions on criteria including firm qualifications, staff capabilities, prior experience, project approach, and work location. Submittals are due by 10:00 AM on August 21, 2025, with selection anticipated to be posted on September 4, 2025, and contract awards expected around October 7, 2025.

The RFQ does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Firms currently under contract with HCSB must reapply, and existing continuing service agreements will be terminated upon board approval of new agreements. Compensation will be based on per-project negotiations, not to exceed amounts published in the Florida Department of Management Services' Design Professional Fee Guideline. Consultants must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, Workers' Compensation, and Professional Errors and Omissions Liability Insurance, with coverage amounts ranging from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 depending on project construction costs. The insurance requirements include additional insured status for HCSB and must remain in effect for the contract duration and at least three years beyond project completion. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract structure allows for ongoing project-based consulting services with individual project fees capped at $7,500,000 for construction and $500,000 for other services.
