TABULATION_SHEETSRFP_2513_SEATING_REPLACEMENT.pdf

This tabulation sheet for RFP 2513 documents the Stadium Seating Replacement project at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, administered by the Tampa Sports Authority. The project encompasses the removal of existing seating and installation of new fixed and telescopic seating across the lower bowl, club level, and upper seating bowl, with a total seating capacity of 62,609 seats comprising 61,361 regular-capacity seats and 1,248 ADA-accessible seats. Fixed seating includes Type 1 chairs with 19-inch minimum seat width for general sections and Type 2 chairs with 21-inch minimum seat width with padded marine-grade vinyl upholstery for club-level sections. The south endzone will feature new electrically operated, forward-folding telescopic stands with 2-horsepower motors and wireless control systems. A mandatory pre-proposal meeting was held prior to posting, with proposals due July 28, 2026, and Addendum 1 issued July 22, 2026, five days before the deadline. Shop drawings, seating charts, and a seating manifest are due within 30 days of seating bowl completion.

All seating must comply with NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and ADA accessibility standards, with exterior-grade plastic components including UV inhibitors and non-corrosive fasteners. The contractor must provide 2 percent extra stock of seats, backs, standards, cup holders, hinge components, and fasteners; 5 percent row identification plates; and 30 percent fabric for upholstery components. Warranty includes 12 months general coverage post-substantial completion, 10 years for structural components, 5 years for hinges and plastic components, and 2 years for upholstery. Six alternates are available, including deductive options for custom paint logos, folding chairs, and rigid platforms, and add alternates for QR codes and aisle lighting. Evaluation criteria emphasize cost, quality, installation methodology, timeline, experience with comparable stadium projects, financial stability, bonding capacity, and overall value. The contractor must maintain full occupancy coordination, provide 72-hour advance notice for operations-affecting activities, and comply with restrictions on utility interruptions and noise. Prevailing wage requirements apply where applicable.
