This document is a board memorandum from the Tampa Sports Authority's Purchasing Manager to the Board of Directors, addressing Request for Qualifications (RFQ) #24-11 for Architectural Design, Review, and Administration Services for Amateur Sports Venues. The RFQ was issued on May 23, 2025, with seven companies responding to the solicitation. After evaluation, the selection committee ranked the top four proposers (Beck Architecture LLC, Osports, Harvard Jolly Inc., and HOK) based on their demonstrated experience for proposed projects including an Indoor Fieldhouse, Baseball/Softball Complex, and Rocky Point Driving Range Project.

The evaluation criteria included stability and staff resources (10 points), experience/qualifications (35 points), suitability of proposed staff (20 points), project team capability (15 points), past performance (10 points), and local knowledge of development and permitting (10 points). The Procurement Department reviewed all proposals and recommends qualifying these four architectural firms for future proposals related to design and construction administration of amateur sports venues. The recommendation was reviewed by key Sports Authority executives, including the President/CEO and VP of SportsPlex Operations, with the ultimate goal of maintaining a qualified pool of architectural service providers for upcoming sports venue projects.
