HPI also provides additional services such as:
• Submissions of Budget Alternatives

• work through piggy-back contracts

What is a piggy-back contract? These are governmental contracts awarded through competitive bid processes, and are valid for multi-year periods. Products in these contracts include Level E accordion shutters, perforated barriers, rolldown shutters, and impact resistant glazing. In many cases, other municipalities can award contracts to HPI by "piggy-backing" onto these already "in-place" contracts. HPI, LLC currently has several active "county specific" line item piggy-back contracts in place for hurricane protection products in Florida. Please contact us if you think we may be able to help you with your municipal contract needs.
