From the meeting
At its October 20, 2026 meeting, Port Tampa Bay accepted and authorized a $500,000 FDOT award for an update to the Port Master Plan. The updated plan is intended to create a 20-year framework by assessing facilities, forecasting market needs, addressing transportation and infrastructure requirements, and identifying long-term capital investments. The item required a $500,000 local match, and the combined $1 million was described as an estimate.
The funding was included in the FY2027 capital budget.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
