Standardization_for_PARKS-ColdSpring_Quarrier_and_Fabricator.pdf

This is a standardization document for the City of Tampa, Florida, related to the procurement of Coldspring Granite Pavers for the Tampa Riverwalk replacement project. The project addresses the need to replace broken and missing pavers on the Tampa Riverwalk, a high-traffic pedestrian area that serves thousands of visitors weekly. The original pavers installed during Riverwalk construction were Carnelian Granite Pavers sourced from the Coldspring Quarry. Damage to these pavers has resulted from vandalism, storm surges, hurricanes, and equipment wear. The procurement specifies no substitution, indicating that replacement pavers must be sourced from Coldspring Quarry to maintain consistent aesthetic and quality standards, as Carnelian and Sunset Red Granite Pavers are exclusively available from this quarry.

The project has estimated funding available in the amount of $50,000 from Funding Source 01100-226500-552004, with an anticipated funding date of March 12, 2026. The procurement is structured as a bid opportunity with a discount component, reflecting the standardization requirement for the specialized granite products needed for this public infrastructure maintenance project.
