About this file

This is an Equal Business Opportunity (EBO) Determination Letter issued by the City of Tampa Parks & Recreation Department for the Special Events Parks and Other City Owned Properties Grounds Maintenance contract (Project Number 26-P-00137). The contract covers grounds maintenance services for parks, playgrounds, and other city-owned properties, including turf mowing, turf maintenance, and landscape bed maintenance across multiple locations within Tampa. The estimated contract amount is $350,000.00, with a start date and end date listed as "TBD." The scope of work requires the awardee to furnish all labor, supervision, equipment, and materials necessary to perform comprehensive maintenance in accordance with Parks and Recreation Department specifications and requirements.

The procurement is classified as a nonprofessional service contract and is subject to a 5% bid discount for Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs), not to exceed $10,000. No sheltered market provisions or subcontracting goals for certified SLBEs have been established for this contract. The EBO determination was approved by Committee Chair Jose A. Valdez on January 27, 2026, based on a review of metrics and established policy. This is a traditional open market solicitation, as the scope did not meet parameters for a narrowly tailored requirement under the City of Tampa's Equal Business Opportunity Ordinance (Tampa Code Chapter 26.5).
