The document is a Shortlist Evaluation Form from the Tampa Sports Authority in Hillsborough County, Florida, for Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 24-11 regarding Architectural Design, Review, and Administration Services for Amateur Sports Venues. The evaluation form assesses proposals from five architectural firms: HOK, O-Sports, Beck, PBK, and Fawley Bryan, scoring them across six criteria including stability and staff resources, experience/qualifications, staff suitability, project team capability, past performance, and local knowledge of development and permitting. Each firm was evaluated on a 100-point scale with potential bonus points for minority/disadvantaged business enterprise participation.

The scoring reveals HOK as the top-performing firm with 102 total points, followed by O-Sports at 97 points, Beck at 95 points, PBK at 93 points, and Fawley Bryan at 79 points. All firms received maximum points for stability and staff resources, with variations in scores for experience, staff suitability, and past performance. Each firm committed to subcontracting at least 10% of ultimate fees to certified minority, disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, or LGBTQIA2+ businesses, with firms earning up to 5 bonus points for this commitment. The evaluation was conducted by Stephen Reed on June 3, 2025, with a note emphasizing confidentiality and prohibiting discussion of scores with unauthorized parties until the final ranking is officially released.
