Intent to Single Source- Advanced Hydration System Tree Mats (TreeDiapers)

The City of Tampa’s Parks & Recreation department is issuing an Intent to Single Source for Advanced Hydration System Tree Mats (commercially known as “TreeDiapers”).

Bidders must confirm they are an authorized vendor and submit the required documentation through the city’s online procurement portal. • Product: Advanced Hydration System Tree Mats (TreeDiapers) • Purpose: Consistent, low‑maintenance watering for new tree plantings in municipal parks • Required vendor: Authorized manufacturer’s distributor/dealer with warranty and service capability • Procurement method: Intent to Single Source (sole‑source) • Contact: Michelle Estevez, Senior Procurement Analyst, (813) 274‑8836 • Submission portal: https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/cityoftampa • No explicit deadline or pre‑bid meeting listed
