This is a Fee Schedule supporting the City of Tampa's Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for Professional Building Plan Review and Inspection Services. The City seeks licensed outside service providers to perform ongoing and as-needed plan review and construction inspection services for residential and commercial structures within Tampa's city limits, covering building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, fire, and miscellaneous trade categories in accordance with Florida Statutes 468, 471, and 481. The RFQ was released on October 27, 2025, with proposals due November 17, 2025, at 4:30 pm, and includes a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting on November 4, 2025. Services are structured as tiered specialty offerings with Construction Plans Reviewer services requiring 520 hours per trade category (seven line items total) and Construction Field Inspector services requiring 1,050 hours for single-trade work and 3,150 hours for multi-trade work. The City intends to pre-qualify a minimum of three respondents and reserves the right to award based on experience, qualifications, location, and ability to perform, with a potential one-year contract term and three additional one-year renewal options. Evaluation criteria include cost to the city (10 points), firm experience and qualifications (30 points), references (15 points), understanding of scope (25 points), criminal history screening practices (5 points), and Small Local Business Enterprise participation (15 points).

Compensation shall be all-inclusive unit price per hour with no additional fees permitted beyond the established hourly rates. Proposers must complete comprehensive compliance documentation including criminal history screening practices, conflict of interest disclosures, affidavits verifying adherence to Florida statutory provisions, and mandatory Diversity Management Initiative forms (DMI-10 and DMI-20) detailing subcontractor solicitation and utilization efforts. The City places strong emphasis on Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) participation and diverse business opportunities as part of the procurement strategy.
