This is a Waterfront Site Plan exhibit (Exhibit F) related to the City of Tampa's Request for Proposals for exclusive food and beverage services at the Tampa Convention Center, a 600,000-square-foot facility serving approximately 350,000 guests annually across roughly 300 event days. The comprehensive scope encompasses operational management of all food and beverage services, including catering for events and exhibitions, concession stands, permanent food court operations, alcohol service, vending, mobile food units, and restaurant and bar operations. A mandatory pre-proposal conference and site visit are scheduled for December 8, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with sealed proposals due by January 23, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal. The contract term is five years with an optional five-year renewal.

The compensation model utilizes a hybrid commission arrangement whereby the successful vendor retains gross receipts while paying a fixed commission to the Tampa Convention Center, and must establish 3.5% Equipment Repair Maintenance & Replacement and 1.5% Advertising and Promotions accrual funds. The current incumbent is Aramark Corporation, with projected gross revenues of approximately $15.9 million in fiscal year 2025. Proposers must demonstrate at least 20 years of experience in convention food and beverage services and will be evaluated on 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 submit Accessibility Conformance Reports, Good Faith Efforts documentation, and SLBE certification certificates, and are required to make significant capital investments in infrastructure improvements, pay utilities at 1% of total gross receipts, maintain minimum staffing levels, and achieve at least 85% guest satisfaction scores.
