The Tampa Sports Authority (TSA) is seeking a qualified electrical contractor to furnish, install, and commission electrical infrastructure for fourteen (14) High-Volume, Low-Speed (HVLS) ceiling fans at Raymond James Stadium's Main Concourse. The project requires comprehensive electrical work, including conduit installation, wiring, circuit breakers, control wiring, fire alarm system integration, and Building Management System (BMS) connectivity for Big Ass Fans' Essence 12-foot model fans. Key deliverables include as-built electrical drawings, warranty documentation, and a complete commissioning report. Bidders must demonstrate expertise in complex electrical installations with specific requirements for mounting, power connections, and system integration. The mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 19, 2025, at 10am, with final bids due on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, by 10:00am. Evaluation will focus on lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with consideration given to technical capabilities, compliance with specifications, and overall project approach.

The procurement offers potential preference opportunities for businesses with drug-free workplace programs and those meeting minority or small business enterprise classifications. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including commercial general liability, workers' compensation, and automobile liability with specific minimum coverage amounts. Contractors must comply with statutory requirements such as E-Verify employment eligibility verification and attestations regarding public entity crimes. The project involves integrating the new fans with existing stadium infrastructure, specifically connecting to 208V electrical systems and coordinating with the building's management system. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the complexity of the installation involving fourteen fans, custom mounting, and advanced control systems suggests a significant investment. The contract is structured as a one-time purchase, with the TSA reserving full discretion in vendor selection and potential contract award.
