The City of Tampa, Florida, on behalf of Hillsborough County, issued Request for Quotes (RFQ) #26-P-00180 on February 25, 2026, for the procurement of Pea Rock Brown Gravel to support various city departments. The solicitation seeks 100 tons of 1/2 inch brown river gravel to be delivered within 10 days after receipt of order on a Freight on Board (FOB) Destination basis, with all shipping, handling, and freight charges included in the quoted price. Vendors must submit pricing on a per-ton basis electronically through the OpenGov solicitation distribution system at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/cityoftampa, with a submission deadline of March 16, 2026. The award will be for a one-year period, and bid prices are firm and cannot be amended after opening. The City reserves the right to award by line item, division, or aggregate total, and may adjust quantities without penalty. All awardees must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability ($1 million per occurrence minimum), Automobile Liability, and Worker's Compensation, and must comply with Florida Public Records Law, E-Verify employment verification, and the City's Ethics Code. Payment is made approximately 30 days after receipt and acceptance of materials and correct invoices.

The procurement does not specify set-asides or restrictions on organization types, though the Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) Certified Companies Directory identifies Cut-Ups Lawn Service, based in Tampa and owned by James Hart, as a certified vendor capable of supplying the requested material with SLBE certification valid through March 12, 2027. The directory listing indicates that only one SLBE vendor meets the specified search parameters for this commodity, suggesting limited competition for this procurement. No incumbent vendor information, existing infrastructure requirements, or specific budget allocation details are disclosed in the available solicitation documents. The RFQ does not establish a published award value or budget range, indicating that the contract will be awarded based on competitive pricing submissions received by the March 16, 2026 deadline.
