About this file
This is a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) subcontracting opportunity letter from GAI Consultants, Inc., the Engineer of Record, to Pinellas County, Florida, regarding the Cross Bayou Ballfields project. The letter addresses the County's policy requiring maximum participation opportunities for SBE-qualified firms in County projects. GAI Consultants was tasked with determining the scope of work suitable for subcontracting or material procurement based on project specifications and construction requirements. The project will be constructed by a single contractor, with the amount of subcontractable work dependent upon the selected contractor's self-performance capabilities.
According to GAI Consultants' analysis, approximately 10 percent of the project work is available for SBE subcontracting. This estimate is based on identified subcontractable disciplines including survey, erosion control, clearing and grubbing, grading, sidewalk installation, fencing, sodding, irrigation, and landscaping. The determination reflects the availability of SBE-qualified firms in the Tampa Bay area, as documented on the Pinellas County Small Business Program Management System website, which demonstrates adequate representation of these disciplines among registered SBE firms capable of executing the identified work scopes.

RE: Cross Bayou Ballfields – SBE – Subcontracted Work
Dear Mr. Glaser:
The Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners policy is that SBE-qualified firms have the maximum opportunity to participate in County projects. The
County requires the assistance of the Engineer of Record/Design Firm to determine the amount of work that could be subcontracted or materials that could be procured for this project based on the specifications and work necessary to construct the project.
The Cross Bayou Ballfields project will be constructed by a single contractor, and dependent upon the amount of self-performance of the work by the selected contractor, there may be limited opportunity for SBE-subcontracted work. In our opinion, the amount of work that could be subcontracted for the project construction is approximately 10 percent.
This percentage was determined based on the survey, erosion control, clearing and grubbing, grading, sidewalk, fencing, sodding, irrigation and landscaping portions of the work. These disciplines are well represented by SBEs in the
Tampa Bay area based on the number of registered firms listed on the Pinellas
County Small Business Program Management System website.
Sincerely, Ruth Perry, PLA
