Janitorial Services for Parks "NORTH" Locations (Bid Discount)

The City of Tampa's Facilities Management Division is soliciting sealed bids for janitorial services at Parks Department "North" locations under ITB 26-P-00245, with bids due October 7, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., and a mandatory pre-bid meeting and site inspection on September 24, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at 2575 East Hanna Avenue. Tampa-certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs) are eligible for a 5% bid discount (not to exceed $10,000) applied for evaluation purposes only.

The scope encompasses furnishing all labor, transportation, supervision, equipment, materials, supplies, and incidentals for continuous janitorial services at Parks Department "North" locations throughout the award period. Day-porter services are available on an hourly, as-needed basis. Attendance at the mandatory pre-bid meeting and site inspection is required for bidder eligibility.

The award period is one year from the effective date, with three optional one-year renewals available by mutual written agreement, plus unilateral extension rights for up to three additional 30-day periods at the same terms and conditions. Bids must be submitted electronically through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal and must include firm, fixed pricing covering all shipping costs, materials, supplies, and applicable taxes. All bids will be evaluated on an aggregate basis, with award going to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.

The selected contractor must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability ($1 million per occurrence, $2 million aggregate), Automobile Liability ($500,000 combined single limit for contracts valued at $100,000 or less), Worker's Compensation as required by Florida law, and additional insured endorsements naming the City. Bidders must be registered and approved to conduct business in the State of Florida within ten days of award notification; failure to do so constitutes grounds for bid rejection. Hillsborough County Government Purchasing Council members may utilize this award at their discretion.
