This is a graphics specification document for the City of Tampa, Florida, supporting a solicitation (Bid Number 25-P-00382) for the design, manufacture, and delivery of garbage container enclosures in the downtown area. The procurement seeks two primary enclosure types: dumpster enclosures capable of housing two 4-yard front-end load containers and cart enclosures designed to hold one to four 95-gallon carts. All enclosures must feature three solid sides, a solid top, lockable doors, and hardware for secure surface attachment. The bid is scheduled to open on Friday, October 31, 2025, with a contract period of one year and an option for one additional one-year renewal. Vendors must submit comprehensive proposals including detailed design specifications, material details, access control technology descriptions, maintenance protocols, production timelines, and itemized cost breakdowns. The evaluation will focus on the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, considering design quality, technical specifications, and urban aesthetic compatibility.

The initial project estimate is $25,000.00, with pricing to remain firm for the first year and potential subsequent adjustments based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The City of Tampa's Equal Business Opportunity Program encourages Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) participation, with potential bid discounts available and provisions requiring prime contractors to document their intent to utilize small local business subcontractors. Contractors must complete the DMI-40 Form (Letter of Intent) and DMI-30 Form (Payment Tracking) to verify subcontractor engagement and payment compliance. Successful vendors must comply with non-discrimination policies, public records laws, and scrutinized companies provisions. The city reserves the right to award the bid by aggregate total.
