About this file

This is an Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Determination Letter issued by the City of Tampa's Convention & Tourism Department for Escalator Maintenance and Services (Project 26-P-00005). The procurement seeks comprehensive maintenance and repair services for ten Kone escalators and one wheelchair lift at the Tampa Convention Center, including preventative maintenance, routine inspections, emergency repairs, and real-time monitoring. A mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visit are scheduled for November 20, 2025, with proposals due December 12, 2025. The initial contract term is one year with potential renewal options for four additional one-year periods. The estimated contract value is $60,000.00, and proposers must demonstrate Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) certification for Kone escalators. Evaluation criteria total 100 points across seven categories: Technical Expertise & Staffing (25 points), Service Quality & Maintenance Plan (20 points), Communication & Responsiveness (15 points), Cost & Contract Flexibility (10 points), References & Performance History (10 points), Criminal History Screening Practices (5 points), and SLBE Participation (15 points).

This procurement is designated as a Sheltered Market for Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs), with a 5% bid discount available to certified SLBEs not to exceed $10,000. The EBO Determination was approved as a Traditional Solicitation because the scope did not meet narrowly tailored requirements under the City of Tampa's Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance (Tampa Code Chapter 26.5). The determination was effective October 13, 2025, and approved by Committee Chair Jose A. Valdez. Pricing structure includes monthly maintenance rates, hourly repair rates for both standard and emergency services, and parts pricing based on a percentage discount off manufacturer's suggested retail price. Proposers must comply with ADA requirements, including submission of an Accessibility Conformance Report demonstrating WCAG 2.1 Level AA and Section 508 accessibility standards.
