Background
It is recommended that the City award Vehicle Repair Services for Engine 1 Vehicle 7512 2018 Pierce Quantum to Ten-8 Fire & Safety LLC for use by the Fleet department. The Manager of the Fleet Maintenance Division submitted a letter of conditions and circumstances stating the need for repairs to Fire Department Vehicle #7512, a 2018 Pierce Quantum Pumper. This letter of conditions and circumstances was approved by the Director of Purchasing, with final approval contingent upon City Council approval. Per Pierce Manufacturing Inc., Ten-8 Fire & Safety LLC is the only entity authorized to repair Pierce vehicles in Florida. It is recommended that the City purchase necessary repairs for Fire Department Vehicle #7512. Following accident-related damage, Ten-8 Fire and Safety, the authorized Pierce dealer for our area, evaluated the city’s 2018 Pierce Quantum Pumper. The assessment revealed extensive midship damage requiring structural repairs, which are estimated to cost $284,569.97. After careful analysis, it was determined that repairing the vehicle is both economically feasible and operationally practical. A replacement apparatus would cost over $1 million and be subject to a 32–35-month production lead time, during which critical fire response capabilities would be reduced. The current unit is only 7 years old, with an expected service life of 15 to 20 years, meaning it has 8 to 13 years of viable service remaining post- repair. Given the significantly lower cost of repair and the long remaining service life, repairing the unit represents a cost-effective use of public funds and ensures the continued availability of emergency response resources without the extended delay of procurement. There was no EBO Participation as this purchase is being made under a letter of conditions and circumstances (LOCC).

Pursuant to Resolution 2022-823 the Online Services Agreement, Statement of Work, and Order Document between the City of Tampa and Information & Computing Services, Inc. was approved by the City of Tampa City Council on September 15, 2022. The City of Tampa migrated from Oracle EBS to Oracle Cloud in November 2021. During the Oracle Cloud implementation, it was discovered that Oracle no longer provides software to support mobile scanners for its warehousing systems and instead relies on third party providers for these products and services. The Oracle Cloud implementation team referred the City to their preferred partner for this software which is RF-SMART provided by Information & Computing Services, Inc. This provider is the only mobile scanner application recommended by Oracle and it is written specifically to work with the Oracle Cloud system and performs real-time updates to the Oracle database. No other software option has this capability and RF-SMART competitors rely on custom batch interfaces to perform updates which requires additional costs and maintenance support. The RF-SMART software only works with Oracle Cloud and is not compatible with any other system. The RF-SMART software application also resolves another issue faced by the City’s Property Control department which currently utilizes Strategic Asset Systems asset management software (SATS) to support their annual capital asset inventory process. The SATS system is no longer supported and the City has not found another solution that will easily interface to Oracle Cloud other than the RF-SMART system. The RF-SMART application meets the requirements of both the Procurement Department’s Inventory Warehouses and Revenue and Finance Department’s Property Control Section operations. There was no EBO Participation as this purchase was made thru an LOCC.

- File No. DEO25-15291 Resolution approving a form of a Release of Easement to be used when a release of easement application has been received and approved administratively by the City of Tampa; approving the execution by the Mayor and attestation by the City Clerk to all future release of easements using the attached form without subsequent or separate approval by City Council as to each request.
Background
The Development and Growth Management Department (DGM) receives 40-50 Release of Easement Applications annually for abandoned or unused easements originally dedicated to the City of Tampa through various documents like plats, ordinances, and deeds. These easements are often outdated and no longer serve their intended purpose. Most applications require a release form signed by the Mayor after City Council approval. To streamline the process for routine releases, it’s beneficial for the City Council to approve a standard release form that the Mayor can execute without further Council approval when there’s no current or future need for the easement. Therefore, it’s in the City’s best interest for the Council to approve the attached form for unilateral releases.

- File No. DEO25-15326 Resolution approving the execution by the Mayor and attestation by the City Clerk of a Second Amendment to Lease Agreement between the City of Tampa, as tenant, and GTE Federal Credit Union d/b/a GTE Financial, as landlord, to amend certain provisions of the lease on the real property located at 711 E. Henderson Avenue, Tampa, Florida as it pertains to the data center.
Background
The City of Tampa’s Technology and Innovation Department (T&I) currently leases space at the GTE headquarters building at 711 E. Henderson Avenue for its data center under the Lease Agreement dated November 15, 2016, approved by Resolution 2016-885, as amended (Lease). Currently, annual base rent is $200,000 and the Lease is set to terminate on October 31, 2025. T&I, through the Real Estate Department, requested the term of the Lease be extended. The Real Estate and T&I staff were able to negotiate an extension in the Lease term for two additional years with three options to renew at one year each and the leased space was reduced from 2,640 square feet to 1,185 square feet. Due to the reduction in the leased space, the initial annual base rent has been reduced to $89,775.60, saving the City over $100,000/year in rent. The reduced base rent takes effect on July 1, 2025 and will affect the final four months of the current term.
- File No. DEO25-15327 Resolution approving the execution by the Mayor and attestation by the City Clerk of a Lease Agreement between the City of Tampa, as tenant, and GTE Federal Credit Union d/b/a GTE Financial, as landlord, for additional office space located at 711 E. Henderson Avenue, Tampa, Florida, for use by the Water Department and Emergency Operations.
Background
The City of Tampa Water Department, in collaboration with the Emergency Management team, seeks approval to lease additional office space at the GTE headquarters building located at 711 E. Henderson Avenue. This lease expansion is primarily intended to support the relocation of the Water Department’s Customer Service Call Center and secure sleeping quarters during emergency response activation, with potential complementary uses also under consideration. The Water Department plans to move its Call Center from the Columbus Municipal Office Building (CMOB), where current space limitations and layout constraints make it unsuitable for high-volume customer service operations. The new space at GTE will allow the Water Department to consider co-locating the Call Center with its Billing Section, which is currently based at the 40th Street Yard. Since most incoming calls relate to billing for water, wastewater, and solid waste services, bringing these teams together could improve coordination and response times. Since the Engineering staff are already located at GTE, there may also be opportunities to enhance support for construction and field-related calls. Relocating the Billing Section could eventually help free up space at the 40th Street Yard, where the Distribution team is currently facing space constraints. The new space will serve a dual function by housing the Call Center during normal operations and providing sleeping quarters for response personnel during emergency activations. While the primary near-term focus is on customer service relocation and emergency sleeping accommodations, the lease gives both departments flexibility to adapt the space over time as operational needs evolve. This shared-use arrangement offers a practical and cost-conscious approach to improving service delivery while expanding emergency response capabilities. The Lease Agreement is for approximately 2,376 square feet of additional office space. The initial term of the lease is one year with three one-year renewals, and an initial annual base rent of $59,400. Additionally, the Resolution requests up to $100,000 for future improvements to the space. The Emergency Management team will fund the lease from July 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025. Beginning January 1, 2026, the Water Department will assume full responsibility for the lease, including any renewal options.
