This is a project map file related to the City of Tampa's Walking Trail Resurfacing procurement opportunity in Florida. The project involves resurfacing approximately 45,553 square feet of existing walking trail located within a public park. The work scope includes preparation of the existing asphalt surface, application of a tack coat using SS-1 asphalt emulsion to ensure proper adhesion between layers, and furnishing and installation of 1 inch of Type SP 9.5 asphalt that must be evenly placed and mechanically rolled to achieve proper compaction and a smooth, durable finished surface. The original procurement was cancelled on March 12, 2026, when zero vendors attended the mandatory pre-bid meeting and no vendors downloaded bid documents. The opportunity was reposted on March 18, 2026, with a new deadline of April 20, 2026. No specific site visit schedule or bidders' conference details are documented in the available solicitation materials.

The procurement follows a Bid Discount approach and includes a Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) set-aside component requiring bidders to utilize certified SLBE firms from the City's minimum certified contact list of 39 qualified vendors throughout Florida and the Tampa Bay region. Bidders must submit a DMI-40 Letter of Intent for each SLBE subcontractor within ten workdays after notice of intent to award. Additionally, contractors must submit comprehensive Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance documentation, including an Accessibility Conformance Report demonstrating conformance to WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards and a Supplemental Accessibility Report detailing evaluation methods and remediation plans. The City reserves the right to conduct demonstrations and hands-on testing of proposed items prior to award, with unsuccessful proposers responsible for return shipping costs. No specific award values, budget ranges, or incumbent vendors are identified in the available documentation.
