Janitorial Services For Parks "SOUTH" Locations (Bid Discount)

The City of Tampa, Florida is requesting sealed bids for janitorial services at 17 city-owned Parks Department "SOUTH" locations, with bids due October 6, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., and a mandatory pre-bid meeting and site inspection on September 22, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. (Bidders who fail to attend both events are ineligible.) A 5% SLBE bid discount (capped at $10,000) applies to City-certified Small Local Business Enterprises for evaluation purposes only; SLBE certification must be obtained before bid opening.

The scope encompasses continuous janitorial services across 18 facility locations ranging from 41 to 11,955 square feet, including community centers, pool facilities, tennis complexes, and park restroom facilities. Services span multiple floor types—vinyl, VCT tile, ceramic tile, laminated wood, gymnasium wood floors, concrete, terrazzo, and rubber—with daily staffing requirements ranging from 30 minutes to 3 hours per facility, five to seven days per week. The contractor must furnish all labor, transportation, supervision, equipment, materials, supplies, insurance, and incidentals. Additional day-porter services are available on an as-needed basis at a flat rate to be determined during bidding. All cleaning chemicals must comply with OSHA Hazard Communication Standard Safety Data Sheet requirements.

The award covers one year from the award date with three optional one-year renewal periods by mutual written agreement and the City's unilateral right to extend for up to three additional thirty-day periods. Bid prices must be firm and include all costs; price escalation or de-escalation after one year requires 90 days' written notice and cannot exceed the previous year's Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers percentage change. Award will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, expected within 120 days of bid opening. Sealed bids must be submitted electronically through the OpenGov eProcurement Portal. Site inspection details are in Attachment E (Location Details), revised August 20, 2026.
