About this opportunity
The City of Tampa's Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management division is requesting quotes for an established mobile application and website platform to conduct curbside recycling compliance audits and outreach under RFQ 26-P-00519, with quotes due August 26, 2026. The City explicitly seeks a ready-made, industry-standard solution, not a custom application.
The platform must enable field auditors to document recycling cart contents, identify contamination rates, and track compliance across residential addresses using mobile devices and web dashboards. Required capabilities include photo-based cart identification, GPS-integrated route mapping, offline functionality, customizable audit parameters, and data analytics generating reports on contamination rates, participation metrics, cart fullness, and per-household compliance. The solution must support a minimum of 100,000 residential addresses and provide access for at least 25 users on both mobile and web platforms. Integration with ArcGIS REST endpoints and iOS compatibility are mandatory. Optional features include automatic mailers or postcards to communicate with residents. The City's Green Team, which provides field recycling tagging services, will use the mobile application to scan and submit cart-content entries; the platform must organize scanned items and distinguish accepted from unaccepted recycling materials.
Pricing must be quoted on an annual basis and include all minimum specifications. Bidders must submit a primary line-item price for baseline requirements plus supplemental pricing for tiered options covering additional users, addresses, mailer/postcard services, and extra features. All quotes remain valid for a minimum of 60 days. Award will be made via City of Tampa Purchase Order with payment approximately 30 days following receipt and acceptance. Vendors must provide proof of insurance prior to award and comply with E-Verify employment verification, non-discrimination provisions, the City's Ethics Code, and indemnification requirements under Florida Statutes.
Opportunity text
The Waste Diversion Division at Solid Waste (SW) is looking to procure a waste industry established 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. We are not looking to make a custom app for the City but rather an already existing platform and app that is sold as a ready product for communities.
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.
