RPS-26-00282 Eval Comm Mtg & possible scoring for Van Dyke Diversion Pump Station & Pipeline

This Hillsborough County evaluation committee meeting held on September 16, 2026, focused on scoring and ranking proposals for the Van Dyke Diversion Pump Station and Pipeline project. Committee members, including procurement and water resources personnel, reviewed and scored multiple firms based on criteria such as the ability of the firm and its personnel, relevant project experience, schedule and budget approach, and workload availability. Scores were assigned for each criterion, with additional bonus points for Small Business Enterprise participation, past performance, and volume of work. Firms evaluated included Ardura, Brown and Caldwell Corporation, Chen Moore and Associates, Garver LLC, and Mont Macdonald Florida LLC. The committee reached consensus on scores and rankings, with Stantech Consulting Services receiving the highest total score of 92. The meeting concluded with a reminder that the cone of silence remains in effect until the notice of intent to recommend award and the protest period ends, and that all communications must be directed through the senior buyer. This meeting was a key step in the procurement process for this capital improvement project involving water infrastructure.
