The project, managed by the City of Tampa's Mobility Department, involves comprehensive Closed-Circuit Television inspections of approximately 100,000 linear feet of stormwater pipes, culverts, and associated infrastructure within the city's jurisdiction. Bidders must possess PACP certification and submit detailed documentation including business licensing, equipment lists, and key personnel qualifications.

The bid is scheduled to open on November 4, 2025, with an initial one-year award period and three optional one-year renewals. The estimated contract value is $500,000.

This procurement is classified as a Traditional Solicitation, as the scope did not meet narrowly tailored requirements for sheltered market status.

The contract includes a minimum work order charge of $750.00, a $20,000 contingency allowance, and a 15% markup limit for additional materials, with unit prices remaining firm throughout the contract term. Payment will be based on actual work completed, with no additional compensation for mobilization or traffic maintenance. The City of Tampa reserves the right to inspect bidders' businesses and equipment prior to award and will evaluate bids based on the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all technical and administrative requirements. The EBO determination was reviewed and approved on August 8, 2025, by Committee Chair Jose A. Valdez in accordance with established City of Tampa EBO Ordinance policy.
