About this file

This is an email correspondence file involving the City of Tampa Purchasing Department regarding the cancellation and re-bidding of a walking trail resurfacing project. The communication chain includes Michelle Estevez (Senior Procurement Analyst), Sajan Patel (Lead Management Information Analyst, Neighborhood & Community Affairs), and David Baird from the City of Tampa. The project involves resurfacing approximately 45,553 square feet of existing walking trail within a public park located in Tampa, Florida. The original bid opening was scheduled for March 27, 2026. Work scope includes preparation of the existing asphalt surface, application of a tack coat using SS-1 asphalt emulsion, and furnishing and installation of 1 inch of Type SP 9.5 asphalt with proper mechanical rolling for compaction and a smooth, durable finished surface.

The procurement was originally planned as a competitive bid process but was cancelled due to lack of vendor interest, as evidenced by zero attendance at the mandatory pre-bid meeting held on March 12, 2026, and no vendor downloads of the bid documents. On March 16, 2026, Sajan Patel approved moving forward with re-bidding the project as a Bid Discount, which represents a modified procurement approach intended to attract contractor participation for this public park improvement project.

Since no vendors attended the mandatory pre-bid meeting this morning, I would like to request approval to cancel the bid opening currently scheduled for March 27th and rebid the project as a Bid Discount. Additionally, I reviewed Vendor Analytics in OpenGov and noted that no vendors have downloaded the bid documents.

Thanks.
