This document is a memorandum from the Purchasing Manager of the Tampa Sports Authority regarding RFQ #24-11 for Architectural Design, Review and Administration Services for Amateur Sports Venues. The request for qualifications was issued on May 23, 2025, with seven companies responding. After evaluation, the selection committee ranked the top four proposers due to a tied score: Beck Architecture, LLC; Osports (Osborn Engineering); Harvard Jolly, Inc. dba PBK; and HOK. The proposers were evaluated for their qualifications for design and construction administration of amateur sports venue projects, with specific focus on venues including an Indoor Fieldhouse, Baseball/Softball Complex, and the Rocky Point Driving Range Project.

The evaluation criteria included assessing stability and staff resources (10 points), experience and 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 architects for future proposals. The bids were evaluated by Eric Hart (President/CEO), Steve Reed (VP of SportsPlex Operations), and Jim Garrison (VP of Golf Operations). The recommendation is for the Board to approve these four architects as "qualified" for inclusion in future design and construction administration proposals for amateur sports venues by the Tampa Sports Authority.
