25-P-00273_-Minimum-Certified-Contact-List.xlsx

The document is a Minimum Certified Contact List for Water Softener Salt Project 25-P-00273, issued by the City of Tampa's Wastewater Department for the Howard F. Curren AWT Plant. The project involves the supply of salt for water softening equipment, to be delivered at regular intervals within Tampa city limits, with a contract term extending to June 4, 2025. The procurement appears to have specific diversity and small business participation goals, with a focus on Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs).

The contact list includes three minority-owned businesses, specifically two listings for Dry 24 Water Restoration LLC and one for RLJ Enterprises Inc., both certified as African American-owned MBEs. The procurement appears to emphasize opportunities for underutilized businesses, particularly those owned by Black, Asian, and Native American entrepreneurs. While specific pricing details are not provided, the document suggests a structured approach to vendor selection that prioritizes diversity and local business participation, potentially offering bid discounts or preferential consideration to certified minority and small business enterprises.
