Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) has issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for Well and Pump Services, seeking experienced and qualified vendors to provide comprehensive maintenance, repair, and replacement services for existing well equipment across three geographical areas within Hillsborough County: West, Central, and East. The solicitation requires vendors to deliver all associated labor, materials, supervision, equipment, and incidentals necessary to complete well-related projects. Key deliverables include well drilling, submersible pump installation, drop pipe provisions, permitting, and well abandonment procedures. Technical questions are due by August 4, 2025, with sealed bids required to be submitted electronically via VendorLink by August 18, 2025. The initial contract will begin upon Board approval and automatically renew for up to four additional one-year periods, contingent on appropriations, contractor performance, and continued need. Vendors must provide detailed pricing sheets, hourly rates for supervisors and technicians, and comprehensive insurance coverage, with a cost-plus pricing model allowing a maximum fifteen percent markup for materials. The solicitation strongly emphasizes the Small Business Encouragement (SBE) Program, encouraging participation from small, woman-owned, minority-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. To qualify, vendors must be registered with the Office of Supplier Development and meet specific eligibility standards, including having an independent business with fewer than 100 employees, a maximum average net income of $2,000,000, and a maximum net worth of $3,000,000. Vendors are also required to complete several mandatory affidavits, including a "Contracting with Entities of Foreign Countries of Concern Prohibited Affidavit" and a "Vendor Affidavit Regarding the Use of Coercion for Labor and Services," which ensure compliance with Florida Statutes and ethical business practices. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive price sheet and detailed service categories suggest a potentially significant contract opportunity. HCPS reserves the right to award to multiple vendors or contract areas, providing flexibility in vendor selection and contract management.
