Exhibit A is a floor plan document for the Tampa Convention Center (TCC) in Florida. The document itself contains blank pages and does not provide detailed floor plan specifications, layouts, or facility diagrams. This exhibit supports the City of Tampa's Request for Proposals for exclusive food and beverage services at the 600,000-square-foot convention center, which hosts approximately 300 event days annually serving over 350,000 guests. The comprehensive scope includes catering services, concession stands, permanent food court and restaurant operations, bar services, vending, and mobile food units. A mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visit are scheduled for December 8, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with sealed proposals due January 23, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. The contract term is five years with an optional five-year renewal.

Evaluation criteria include firm experience (30%), project team qualifications (20%), responsiveness to scope (20%), cost (10%), criminal history screening (5%), and Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) participation (15%). Proposers must demonstrate at least 20 years of experience in convention food and beverage services. The compensation model utilizes a hybrid commission structure where the vendor receives gross receipts and pays a fixed commission to TCC, with requirements to establish 3.5% Equipment Repair Maintenance & Replacement and 1.5% Advertising and Promotions accrual funds. The current incumbent, Aramark Corporation, manages operations with projected fiscal year 2025 gross revenues of approximately $15.9 million. Proposers must be prepared for significant capital investments in infrastructure improvements, maintain utility payments at 1% of total gross receipts, meet minimum staffing requirements with key personnel positions, and achieve at least 85% guest satisfaction scores.
