Subcontractor_Utilization_Plan.docx

This is a Subcontractor Utilization Plan form for the City of St. Petersburg, Florida, related to the 22nd Street South Corridor Litter Collection and Sweeping Services Initiative. The project involves providing litter collection, trash removal, and corridor sweeping services along the 22nd Street South corridor from Central Avenue to 18th Avenue South, with emphasis on areas surrounding 9th Avenue South and 22nd Avenue South. The selected vendor shall maintain the corridor in a clean, safe, and presentable condition through routine collection and proper disposal of litter, debris, and waste materials. The City prefers services be performed twice weekly on Mondays and Thursdays; however, vendors may propose alternative schedules provided services are performed at least once per week. The resulting contract shall commence on July 1, 2026, and expire on October 31, 2026. The selected vendor must provide all necessary labor, supervision, equipment, tools, vehicles, transportation, supplies, and disposal services in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

The Subcontractor Utilization Plan requires proposers to demonstrate intent to use minority, women, veteran, and small businesses in the Tampa Bay Region and to describe efforts in engaging and reducing barriers to participation by these business enterprises through outreach, education, mentorship, and process changes. Participation goals for Small Business Enterprises (SBE), Women Business Enterprises (WBE), Veteran Owned Businesses, and Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) are voluntary, with no minimum participation level required as a condition for contract award. Proposers will not be considered non-responsive if their plan reflects zero small, veteran, or diverse business participation; however, the City encourages proactive engagement with these business categories.
