This is a map file related to the City of Tampa's Walking Trail Resurfacing project, specifically depicting the Copeland Trail that is the subject of the procurement opportunity. The map identifies the location and layout of the approximately 45,553 square feet of existing walking trail within a public park that requires resurfacing. The project scope includes preparation of the existing asphalt surface, application of SS-1 asphalt emulsion as a tack coat to ensure proper adhesion, and furnishing and installation of 1 inch of Type SP 9.5 asphalt with mechanical rolling to achieve proper compaction and a smooth, durable finished surface. The original competitive bid was cancelled on March 27, 2026, due to zero vendor attendance at the mandatory pre-bid meeting held on March 12, 2026, and no vendor downloads of bid documents. The opportunity was reposted on March 18, 2026, with a new response deadline of April 20, 2026. No specific bidder's meeting, site visit schedule, or award date has been documented in the available solicitation materials.
