The City of Altamonte Springs, Florida has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP No. 25-043-KY) for Recreation Program Services within Seminole County, seeking independent contractors to provide comprehensive recreational programming across five distinct service groups: Aquatics, Preschool Multisport, Tennis, Pickleball, and ESports League. These services will be delivered at the Westmonte Recreation Center and Eastmonte Park, with a contract commencement date of September 2, 2025. The city seeks qualified contractors to manage and execute programs targeting various age groups, including youth and adults, with specific requirements for each service group such as certified instructors, comprehensive curricula, and safety protocols. Proposals will be evaluated on a 100-point scale, with 20 points each allocated to experience, compensation offer, proposed programs, additional program opportunities, and fees/pricing structure. Key deadlines include proposal submissions due by June 13, 2025, at 11:00 a.m., with potential presentations/interviews for top-ranked firms scheduled for July 9, 2025. Contractors must provide monthly documentation of sales by the 15th of each month and propose a percentage of gross revenues to be shared with the city.

The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The initial contract period will be one year, with options to renew for four additional one-year periods, potentially extending the total contract duration to five years. Contractors must meet minimum qualifications, including demonstrating relevant experience, providing references, maintaining proper business registrations, and complying with E-Verify employment eligibility requirements. Insurance requirements include workers' compensation and comprehensive general liability coverage. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the compensation structure is based on a percentage of gross revenues generated by the contractor, with the city providing facility access, marketing support, and overall facility maintenance. Successful contractors will be expected to provide high-quality, professional recreation programming across multiple sports and activity categories, with specific requirements for instructor certifications, background checks, and program management that align with the city's recreational service objectives.
