Body
SUMMARY:
The City solicited responses (RFP 20-18) for the umpiring scheduling services and received one qualified bid from Pinellas Umpire Association.
Pinellas Umpire Association has successfully worked with the City in the past in providing similar services.
This contract includes the scheduling and payment of umpires for city leagues and tournaments at a rate of:
Slow Pitch City Program - $17 each per game for two-person umpire crew; $22.50 per game for one-person umpire crew
Division I NCAA Tournaments - $95 each per game for three-person umpire crew
Division I Umpire in Chief Fees for all NCAA Games - $175 per day.
Last year Pinellas Umpires Association provided umpires and officials for over 2500 games for an approximate cost of $160,000.
The costs for these services are paid for by user fees that are charged to the teams. Revenues therefore offset the costs associated with this BPO.
