The bid process demonstrated a commitment to diversity, with bid opportunities distributed through multiple channels including the NAACP, Hillsborough County MW/SBE, and the City of Tampa Office of Supplier Diversity. Several bidders had specific diversity status annotations, including African American and African American Female-owned businesses. After a comprehensive review of 12 submitted proposals, ACS Maintenance Services of Largo, Florida was recommended for the contract award, with a total estimated project cost of $600,950. The TSA board is also requesting approval for up to $50,000 in potential unforeseen Change Orders.
