This document outlines fleet service facility locations for the City of Tampa's Department of Logistics and Asset Management Fleet Maintenance Division in support of Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 25-P-00344 for diesel and compressed natural gas (CNG) engine repair services. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive repair services for light, medium, and heavy trucks (Classes 2-8), construction equipment, and industrial engines from model years 1985 to present, with all necessary parts and labor supplied by awardees. Vendors must maintain service bays capable of accommodating various vehicle types and employ technicians with current ASE or manufacturer certifications, along with providing a 365-day labor warranty. The bid is structured into five divisions covering different vehicle and engine categories with separate pricing for diesel and CNG repairs. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for October 20, 2025, with bid opening on November 6, 2025. The contract term will be three years with potential renewal options for two additional one-year periods. The estimated contract amount is $1,800,000.00, and the city will award multiple contracts through a competitive, multi-award bid process.

The procurement includes significant set-aside and preference provisions for Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) and Underutilized Women and Minority Business Enterprises (U-WMBEs), offering a 5% bid discount for certified SLBEs (up to $10,000) and U-WMBEs (up to $20,000), with additional preferences for Black-Owned, Asian-Owned, and Native American-Owned firms. Key evaluation criteria include shop labor hourly rates, emergency and after-hours rates, parts markup percentages, and transportation costs. Vendors must demonstrate capability to service engines from manufacturers including Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit, Ford, International, and John Deere. The document identifies both present fleet facility locations (Fleet Hanna, Fleet Clark Ave, and Tampa Fire Maintenance on Chestnut Street) and future locations (40th Street, Port Tampa Facility, Tampa Fire Maintenance at a TBD location, and McKay Bay). The procurement allows for potential utilization by other Hillsborough County Government Purchasing Council members, expanding the potential scope and impact of the contract.
