RFP-26-00364 Eval Comm meeting _ possible scoring for Countywide Flood Forecasting System 10.12.26

Hillsborough County RFP evaluation committee meeting, October 12, 2026, for RFP-26-00364, the Countywide Flood Forecasting System. Committee members reviewed proposals from Clearview Land Design, Flood Map, and a third proposer identified in the transcript as Walport/Walpart. They evaluated technical quality, scope and work plan, staff qualifications, and price, with discussion focused on use of county watershed models, modeling methods, user interfaces, training, schedules, and vendor experience. No contract award or purchase authorization was made during the meeting; the committee established evaluation scores for the proposals.

The recorded totals were 90.2 points for Clearview Land Design, 85 for Walport/Walpart, and 78.8 for Flood Map. Price scores were 18.2, 25, and 17.8 points, respectively; no proposal dollar amounts were stated. The committee noted Clearview’s proposed nine-month schedule and Flood Map’s ambiguity about its modeling approach, including possible use of AI/machine learning and models beyond the county’s existing models. Walport/Walpart received a strong price score, while members discussed the specificity of its implementation and training plans and its proposed modeling approach. The scores reflect proposal evaluation, not a final vendor selection.
