RFQ - For Facilities Condition Assessment

The Hernando County School Board (HCSB) in Brooksville, Florida, is seeking qualified firms to submit a letter of interest and supporting documentation for a comprehensive District-wide Facilities Condition Assessment (FCA) covering all 23 school sites and ancillary facilities. The procurement is structured as a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for professional assessment services, with the ultimate goal of executing an AIA Standard Form of Agreement between Owner and Consultant (AIA C103-2015). Specific deliverables will include a detailed condition assessment that evaluates the physical state and infrastructure needs of each school site. Firms must demonstrate professional expertise in comprehensive facility assessments, with a focus on thorough documentation and analytical capabilities. The solicitation was posted on April 21, 2025, with responses due by May 27, 2025, providing interested consultants approximately 36 days to prepare and submit their qualifications. While specific evaluation criteria are detailed in the attached RFQ document, respondents can expect scrutiny of their technical capabilities, past performance, and proposed approach to conducting a comprehensive facilities assessment.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the available documentation. The procurement appears open to qualified professional consulting firms with expertise in facility condition assessments. While no incumbent vendors were identified, the scope suggests a potentially significant project with substantial professional services requirements. Though a specific budget range was not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of assessing 23 school sites indicates a potentially substantial contract value. The awarded firm will be required to carry specific insurance coverages, as outlined in the attached "APPENDIX B HCSB Consultant Insurance" document, which suggests a professional and risk-managed approach to the assessment project. Interested firms should carefully review all attached documents, including the RFQ, Statement of Work (Appendix C), and insurance requirements, to fully understand the project's scope and submission expectations.
