About this file
This file is a federal lobbying certification form required under 44 C.F.R. Part 18 for the City of Tampa's Art Collections Maintenance Consultant contract opportunity in Florida. The certification serves as a prerequisite for contract award and applies to all federal appropriated funds associated with this procurement. The consultant position involves coordinating routine and unplanned maintenance of the city's art collection, serving as liaison between the Department of Arts & Cultural Affairs and external contractors such as conservators and artists. The engagement is estimated at approximately ten hours per week for 480 total hours over a twelve-month contract term with potential two one-year renewal options. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference was scheduled for January 9, 2026, at 2555 E Hanna Avenue, with written questions due by January 13, 2026, and proposals due electronically by January 28, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal. Minimum qualifications include five years of relevant experience, a bachelor's degree, project management skills, and reliable transportation.
The certification requires the contractor's authorized official to attest that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal officials in connection with contract award, and that any non-federal funds used for lobbying purposes must be disclosed via Standard Form-LLL. The contractor must ensure this certification language is included in all subawards at all tiers. Failure to comply with this certification requirement subjects the contractor to civil penalties between $10,000 and $100,000 per violation, with provisions of 31 U.S.C. Chapter 38 applying to false claims and statements. The evaluation criteria include cost (10 points), firm experience (30 points), project team qualifications (20 points), responsiveness to scope (20 points), criminal history screening practices (5 points), and Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) participation (15 points), with SLBE firms required to maintain current City of Tampa certification.
