On June 28, 2018, The School Board of Clay County, Florida entered into an agreement with Parrish-McCall Constructors for Continuing Construction Management Services.  Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) will be piggybacking this contract in its entirety, as appropriate, on an as-needed basis.  Initially, it is the Operations Division's intention to utilize this firm to assist with the salvaging of usable demolition material that is being donated from a facility in Gainesville, Florida, to be utilized at a number of sites through the Hillsborough County School District.

If approved, HCPS will commence its use effective March 11, 2020.  Piggyback agreements may be terminated at any time.  This contract will be reviewed and evaluated annually and may be renewed by the Superintendent, per the terms of the specifications.

In accordance with the Florida Department of Education Purchasing Policy 6A-1.012(6), in lieu of requesting competitive solicitations [Invitations to Bid (ITB), Requests for Proposals (RFP), or Invitations to Negotiate (ITN)], from three or more sources, district school boards may make purchase at or below the specified prices from contracts awarded by other city or county governmental agencies, or other district school boards, community colleges, federal agencies, or the public or governmental agencies of any state.  As defined by the National Institute for Governmental Purchasing (NIGP), "piggybacks" are a form of intergovernmental cooperative purchasing best practice.  NIGP's established standard states that public procurement should consider the use of piggybacks and cooperative contracts to lower prices and administrative costs, as they can be a more effective and efficient use of time and resources because the other entity has already completed the competitive process.

Funding for HCPS projects will be allocated on an as-needed basis from Millage and Referendum funds.

Contract administration and evaluation is performed by the Project Administrator (the "End User") and the Procurement Officer, who function as a team, by utilizing an online vendor performance report or via in-person reviews.  The evaluation consists of an assessment of the vendor-provided goods and services, deliverables, and compliance with contractual requirements.  The resulting data will support renewal decisions and/or alterations to a new agreement.
