Hillsborough County panel confirms HDR Engineering as top‑ranked proposer in RPS procurement
Summary
A Hillsborough County procurement committee confirmed final evaluation scores for two firms in an RPS professional services solicitation, recording HDR Engineering Inc with 102 points and JMG Inc with 97 points; the committee signaled it will verify scores and publish a ranking before issuing a notice of intent to recommend award.
A Hillsborough County procurement evaluation committee confirmed final consensus scores Thursday for two firms competing under a professional services RPS solicitation for waste, energy and solid waste systems. Committee chair Brian Johnson and staff confirmed HDR Engineering Inc received a grand total of 102 points while JMG Inc received 97 points.
Krista, the project advisor overseeing the scoring, recapped each firm’s scores by evaluation criterion and the procurement office’s bonus adjustments. "I will verify the scores with the committee and provide the ranking of the proposals," Krista said, describing the next administrative step before a notice of intent to recommend award is issued. The committee’s recorded criterion subtotals were: JMG Inc — consensus subtotal 86 (criteria breakdown: 40, 33, 8, 5) and procurement bonuses of SBE participation 5, volume 5 and past performance 1 for a grand total of 97; HDR Engineering Inc — consensus subtotal 94 (criteria breakdown: 43, 38, 5, 8) and procurement bonuses of SBE participation 5, volume 0 and past performance 3 for a grand total of 102.
Chair Brian Johnson led a line‑by‑line review of the recorded scores and asked each committee member whether they wished to adjust any category values. Committee members verbally concurred with the recapped numbers and did not propose changes. Krista said procurement will verify the scores and then provide a ranking of proposals in accordance with the solicitation process.
The scoring will be followed by a notice of intent to recommend award and a five‑day protest period (see related article). The committee’s confirmation of the recorded scores does not itself constitute an award; procurement staff will complete verification steps before recommending an award and publishing required notices.
