Shipping Container Roof Shelter

The City of Tampa Parks & Recreation Department is issuing a Request for Quotes (RFQ) for the design, fabrication, and delivery of one custom shipping container roof shelter measuring 33 feet by 40 feet by 12 feet in height. The shelter must be engineered to span between two 40-foot shipping containers and provide comprehensive weather protection for machinery and goods. The structure must be constructed from 0215 galvanized steel with appropriate attachment points designed for secure connection to 40-foot containers, and the roof fabric must be composed of 450g PVC material or superior. Responsive vendors must submit quotes electronically through the OpenGov solicitation system by the April 15, 2026 deadline, with all quotes remaining valid for a minimum of 60 days from submission. All shipping, handling, and freight charges must be incorporated into the quoted price, with delivery required on a Freight On Board (FOB) Destination basis to a City-specified location. The City reserves the right to award by line item, division, or aggregate total, increase or decrease quantities without penalty, and reject any or all quotes at its discretion.

The RFQ does not indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular categories of vendors or disadvantaged enterprises. Prior to award, vendors must submit proof of adequate insurance coverage and demonstrate compliance with all City of Tampa requirements, including participation in the E-Verify employment eligibility verification program. No incumbent vendor information or existing infrastructure requirements that would necessitate integration with current systems are documented in the available procurement materials. Payment for accepted deliverables will be processed within approximately 30 days following receipt, inspection, and acceptance of materials and submission of correct invoices. The specific budget range or estimated award value for this procurement has not been disclosed in the posted solicitation documentation.
