This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Tampa, Florida. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The City of Tampa, the Tampa Housing Authority, and a broad representation of residents, business owners, community leaders and governmental agencies have long dreamed of a renewed West Tampa, including quality, affordable workforce housing and new health services through a Community Based Healthcare Center, in addition to improved physical and visual access to the riverfront and enhanced outdoor open space and park amenities for seniors, families and children. The framework for such an undertaking was delineated through collaborative discussion, including community visioning with the Urban Land Institute and Enterprise Community Partners. Today, the West River Plan is a redevelopment plan, created through this collaborative process that outlines a hopeful and achievable future for the families, neighborhoods and local businesses that call West Tampa their home. The West River Plan establishes not only a vision for the future, but also a development implementation framework, for current and new residents of the target area who will want to be part of a diverse and vital community of new opportunity and enhanced quality of life. Additionally, the redevelopment concepts will meet the City of Tampa Planning Department Urban Design and Land Use Growth Goals that encourage "higher density development with mixed-use corridor villages that protect neighborhoods and natural habitat, support transit and conserve energy." Given the age, condition, and potential for hazardous materials on the priority sites, these structures will not be suitable for reuse; however, the City does through its policy seek to conserve suitable historical or usable structures as often as possible and this will be considered in the reuse planning the sites assessed under this grant. The assessment of brownfield properties will enable the City to implement this plan to facilitate the redevelopment of the proposed sites into affordable housing with onsite community health center and clinic. The City of Tampa is seeking to procure Professional Engineering Services of a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) firm. The QEP will conduct all technical activities for this project and will ensure that all tasks are completed in accordance with the approved work plan. These activities will be put toward the completion of Phase I and Phase II Environmental Assessment Reports which will be used in the redevelopment of the targeted area. The project will focus on the West River area within the City of Tampa. Deliverables such as Quarterly reports must be generated using a Federally Monitored database (ACRES). These reports must accurately reflect the locations, tasks and results in accordance to a cooperative agreement issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. A detailed Community Involvement Plan is required for this project.
