The City of Tampa reserves the right to inspect bidders' facilities and equipment prior to award and will evaluate bids based on the lowest responsive, responsible bidder meeting all technical and administrative requirements.

The procurement is designated as a Traditional Solicitation, with no sheltered market provisions, bid discounts, or subcontracting goals established for Underutilized Women and Minority Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs) or Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs), as the scope did not meet Narrowly Tailored Requirement (RWA) parameters.
