This is an Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Determination Letter issued by the City of Tampa's Equal Business Opportunity Office for the Electric Motor Repair contract (Project Number 26-P-00097) under the Water Department. The project involves providing electric motor repair services on an as-needed basis, including inspection, removal, transport, and repair of electric motors at the David L. Tippin Water Treatment Plant and multiple pumping stations throughout Tampa. The work requires qualified firms to furnish all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to complete repairs in a professional manner meeting industry standards. The contract has an estimated value of $185,000.00, with a start date and end date listed as TBD (to be determined).

The contract is classified as a nonprofessional service contract under a traditional solicitation format, as the scope did not meet requirements for narrowly tailored procurement. No sheltered market designation, bid discount preference, or subcontracting goals for small local business enterprises (SLBEs) were applied to this opportunity. The determination was reviewed and approved in accordance with established City of Tampa EBO policy, with an effective date of January 6, 2026, and was approved by Committee Chair Jose A. Valdez.
