Steel Refuse Dumpsters and Lids (Bid Discount)

The City of Tampa Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management Department is requesting bids on steel refuse front-loading dumpsters, lids, parts, and replacement bottoms (Project 26-P-00378) with bids due July 28, 2026. This procurement carries a Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) set-aside or participation requirement, documented in an SLBE Determination Letter; a minimum certified contact list of five SLBE vendors has been established.

The scope includes steel front-loading dumpsters, lids, replacement bottoms, and component parts. The City has attached a Health and Safety Document specific to waste-to-energy operations that bidders must review and comply with; contractors must demonstrate understanding of and ability to meet the operational safety requirements outlined in that document.

The procurement is structured as a bid discount arrangement, with pricing evaluated on a discount basis from manufacturer list prices to allow the City to maximize value on bulk purchases. Contract performance will include detailed payment documentation and tracking through the DMI-30 form in compliance with City Ordinance 2008-89; all subcontractor payments must identify SLBE or other ownership type designation.

The solicitation materials include an ADA Requirements document that applies if any information, media, or communication technology (ICT) components are involved in the bid response; proposers offering ICT items must submit an Accessibility Conformance Report demonstrating WCAG 2.2 Level AA and Section 508 compliance, with Voluntary Product Accessibility Template documentation. Several attached documents—including cloud hosting policy, OSHA SDS guidance, and an unrelated WTE health and safety framework—appear to be reference materials or potential filing errors and do not directly govern this dumpster procurement.
