This document is a Recommendation for Award from the Tampa Sports Authority (Hillsborough) for Re-Bid 24-03 concerning Trash & Recycling Containers for Raymond James Stadium. The bid was released to multiple vendors through Demandstar, VendorLink, TSA website, NAACP, Hillsborough County, and the City of Tampa's Office of Supplier Diversity and Stadium Managers Association. The Authority received six bid proposals, with one being rejected, and conducted the bid evaluation on July 17, 2025, at 10am.

The recommendation is to accept the bid from The Prestwick Group dba Max-R, which was not the lowest bidder but was determined to be the most responsive and responsible bid meeting all specifications. The total cost of the awarded bid is $59,836. The bid was evaluated by multiple staff members including the Procurement Manager, Capital Projects Manager, VP of Stadium Operations, Director of Facilities, and Assistant Director of Facilities. The recommendation highlights that while Max-R was not the cheapest option, they were the only company that fully met the project's requirements after a comprehensive review of all submitted proposals.
