Hillsborough County intends to award a sole source contract to Blades Group LLC for the purchase of Rock Asphalt over a three-year period at an estimated cost of $246,192.00, with the possibility of extension, scope adjustment, or increased funding based on evolving needs. The material, a naturally occurring limestone infused with asphalt, offers superior cohesion—three to five times better than standard cold mix—resulting in significantly reduced raveling and more durable road repairs. This procurement is justified under Section 3-205(2)(a) of the County’s Procurement Policy because Blades Group LLC is the only known provider of this uniquely mined and bagged material in the hemisphere. The solicitation, identified as SS-26-00280, was posted on May 27, 2026, with challenges due by June 3, 2026, submitted exclusively through the EUNA Procurement portal; no competitive bidding is anticipated absent a valid challenge. The material must meet strict technical specifications including naturally impregnated bitumen content of 4.0–7.0% for native LRA and 5.0–8.5% for fine aggregate, with compliance verified through standardized tests such as Tex-200-F, Tex-220-F, Tex-410-A, and Tex-411-A. Quality control is the contractor’s responsibility, while quality assurance is performed by the County’s Materials and Tests Division, which may suspend production for noncompliance. All shipments require electronic reporting using County-provided software, and material must originate exclusively from aggregates listed in the Department’s Bituminous Rated Source Quality Catalog. Performance is tied to consistent adherence to gradation, stability, and deleterious material limits, with no pre-coating, blending, or lime addition permitted without explicit approval. Delivery occurs throughout Florida, with no formal FOB terms specified but contractual language indicating contractor risk during transit. The County reserves the right to modify the contract terms, and there is no structured CLIN or SLIN pricing format—only a total estimated value. No formal FAR clauses, federal accounting codes, invoicing protocols, COR/COTR assignments, or offeror certifications are included, as the procurement operates under county-specific authority and technical directives rather than federal acquisition frameworks.

Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) System
Solicitation # RFI-27-00004
The Hillsborough County Property Appraiser is conducting market research through Request for Information RFI-27-00004 to identify experienced vendors and Florida-compliant Computer Assisted Mass Appraisal (CAMA) platforms. The primary objective is to replace the agency's legacy CustomCAMA software with a modern system capable of supporting core appraisal business functions, including Income Approach valuation, Multiple Regression Analysis, and condominium management. This initiative is purely exploratory for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a formal solicitation or a commitment to award a contract. Key technical requirements include native integration with Esri ArcGIS software, support for Google Street View, Picometry, and Near Map, and the use of cloud hosting models. The system must strictly adhere to Florida Statutes, specifically regarding Save Our Homes caps and TRIM processing. Security is a critical priority, requiring all data and backup centers to be located within the continental United States, support for SAML 2.0 / Azure AD for Single Sign-On and Multi-Factor Authentication, and rigorous data privacy controls. These controls must include role-based access and automated redaction to comply with Florida Chapter 119 confidentiality and exemption rules. Responses are due by November 6, 2026.
