About this opportunity
The City of Tampa's Waste Diversion Division is soliciting a mobile application and website platform for curbside recycling compliance auditing and resident outreach, with proposals due August 14, 2026. The platform must support field data collection on City devices (phones and tablets) and provide a web dashboard for real-time analysis of contamination rates and recycling behavior across the city.
The scope encompasses a mobile app for the City's Green Team to scan, categorize, and report recycling cart contents by route; automated recognition of accepted and unaccepted items; a backend web dashboard enabling supervisory staff to review field submissions and generate data-driven enforcement and education decisions; and optional automatic postcard or letter generation for resident outreach following noncompliance documentation. The platform will integrate with the Green Team's existing tagging and warning-tag workflow, enabling field staff to leave personalized resident information while the system tracks improvement in recycling behaviors over time and identifies effective messaging.
The source does not disclose estimated contract value, contract term, or incumbent vendor. No set-asides, preferences, or eligibility restrictions are stated. The source does not name evaluation criteria, weightings, question-submission deadlines, or an anticipated award date. A procurement document titled "Solid_Waste_Curbside_Collection_Compliance_Audit_&Outreach(Website_and_Mobile_Application).pdf" was posted August 7, 2026.
Opportunity text
The Waste Diversion Division at Solid Waste (SW) is looking to procure a bundle mobile app and website platform that will ease access to curbside recycling data collection. Our goal is to use this mobile app through City of Tampa (City) devices, e.g. phones, tablets, to document curbside recycling compliance and identify education opportunities for residents. The data collected would influence decisions in the background regarding households needing additional education or further enforcement. Our team would have access to a web dashboard to access this specialized data collected on the field to review and make immediate decisions.
Overall, we are looking to create a live portrait of contamination rates across the City. We want to track and quantify overall improvement in recycling behaviors and pinpoint effective messaging. We partner with a City led group called the Green Team (GT) that provides feet-on-the-street recycling tagging services. The GT would report to specific routes and utilize the mobile applications to scan, review, and submit entries of recycling carts' contents. Once the entries are submitted, the software platform would provide the ease of organizing items scanned, recognizing accepted and unaccepted items in recycling.
Our team will be actively tagging carts and leaving personalized information for residents via our recycling "warning tag". Automatic postcards/letters are a plus and something we'd like as an option for if the future demands it. The goal is for less hands-on steps and more results. We have experience with platforms like these and know they work.
