This is an Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Determination Letter from the City of Tampa, Department of Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management, documenting the plans for Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) participation in the Waste to Energy (WTE) Facility Boilermaker Services contract. The project, identified as 26-P-00035, involves providing boilermaker services for the McKay Bay Waste to Energy Facility located at 107 North 34th Street, Tampa, Florida. The contractor shall hold all necessary code stamp certifications for boiler repair work and may be asked to perform miscellaneous repairs. Welders qualifying to work on pressure retaining parts must pass qualification testing in accordance with ASME Section IX Welding under the full supervision and control of the Contractor's Welding Qualification Supervisor, who must be employed by the contractor. The estimated contract amount is $1,100,000.00, with start and end dates listed as TBD.

This is a sheltered market contract designated for SLBEs, with a 5% bid discount available to certified SLBE firms not to exceed $10,000. The determination was made as a traditional solicitation, as the scope did not meet Resident Business Assistance (RWA) parameters for a narrowly tailored requirement. The EBO metrics and participation goals were reviewed and approved in accordance with established City of Tampa policy. The determination was effective as of November 5, 2025, and was approved by Committee Chair Jose A. Valdez.
