This is a Proposed Lease Business Terms document for the City of Tampa's Request for Proposals to lease a 19,050-square-foot property located at 2806 North 15th Street in Tampa, Florida. The RFP seeks a qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to operate recreational, educational, and accessory daycare programs serving underserved residents in the Ybor City Historic District and East Tampa Community Redevelopment Area. The initial lease term is five years with up to three optional five-year renewal periods. Proposers must submit comprehensive proposals by March 6, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for February 17, 2026, at 10:00 a.m., with a question submission deadline of February 23, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Proposers must demonstrate a minimum of ten years of continuous nonprofit experience and have satisfactorily performed under at least one prior lease or license agreement with a government agency requiring similar services.

The lease is structured as triple net, with the lessee responsible for all operating expenses, capital costs, repairs, maintenance, utilities, insurance, and taxes. No specific rental price or budget range is established in the RFP; lease terms including annual base rent per square foot, annual escalation rates, tenant improvement costs, roof improvement contributions, and annual operating expense estimates will be negotiated and subject to approval by City Council and potentially the Community Redevelopment Agency. Proposers must demonstrate financial capacity through submission of three years of federal tax returns, audited financial statements, three financial references, and evidence of ability to fund annual rent and operating costs. Evaluation criteria include consideration and benefit to the City (20 points), proposal completeness (20 points), proposer experience (20 points), financial capacity (20 points), criminal history screening practices (5 points), and Small Local Business Enterprise participation (15 points). The property is provided as-is with roof repairs to be the tenant's responsibility, and no designated parking is available.
