Community_Spaces_Service_Animals.pdf

This is a community spaces service animals policy document issued by the City of Tampa, Florida, in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The document pertains to the Community Space Signs procurement project being managed by Parks and Recreation for the Downtown Interchange project. Three new community spaces are currently under construction and will require installation of compliant signage. The policy establishes guidelines for service animal access to these community spaces, requiring handlers to maintain control of animals at all times. The City of Tampa provides a designated service call line at (813) 274-5667 for residents and visitors to report service animal access concerns or to seek assistance with accessibility issues related to service animals in community spaces.

The document serves as a public-facing informational notice rather than a detailed procurement specification. No specific pricing terms, quantities of signs, delivery dates, or contract award information is included in this file. The policy reflects the City's commitment to ADA compliance and accessibility standards for the new community spaces, ensuring that individuals with service animals can access public facilities while maintaining safety protocols through proper animal control measures.
