The RFP was released to multiple proposers through various channels and received sealed proposals on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. The Selection Committee evaluated and ranked five firms based on six evaluation criteria, with Rivero Gordimer & Company receiving the highest score of 102.33. The TSA intends to award a contract to Rivero Gordimer & Company effective October 1, 2025, covering fiscal year 2025 audits, with a three-year annual term and one two-year renewal option contingent on satisfactory service.
The evaluation criteria included personnel ability, client references, proposed cost, understanding of work, overall responsiveness, and Disadvantaged/Minority Business Enterprise (D/MBE) participation. The maximum points were distributed across these criteria: 35 points for personnel ability, 25 points for references and local availability, 20 points for proposed cost, 10 points for work approach, 10 points for overall responsiveness, and 5 points for D/MBE participation. The Selection Committee, comprising members from TSA, City of Tampa, and Hillsborough County, opted not to conduct interviews, using only the submitted proposals for their rankings.
