Landscape Maintenance Services

The Authority is seeking landscape maintenance services for various sites throughout the Airport.

The Authority was created in 1945 and is an independent special district governed by the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority Act, Chapter 2022-252, Laws of Florida (Act). This Act provides that the Authority will have exclusive jurisdiction, control, supervision and management over all publicly-owned airports in Hillsborough County.

The Airport is a major economic driver for the Tampa Bay region and is the gateway to the west coast of Florida. The Airport is consistently ranked among the world’s most beloved airports, serving more than 25 million annual passengers with routes to more than 90 nonstop destinations. The Airport has received top awards at the state, national and international level, including being ranked the #1 Large Airport in North America by J.D. Power in 2022 and 2023, as well as the #1 Large Airport in USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards in 2024. The Airport has now completed several projects in the largest construction program in its history with a major Main Terminal renovation, 66 shops and restaurants, a 1.4-mile automated people mover extending to a multi-level rental car facility, award-winning Blue Express Curbsides for faster passenger drop-off and pick-up, a nine-story office complex and numerous new public art installations including a world-famous 21-foot pink flamingo sculpture in the Main Terminal.
