Narrative:

Normal landing confign. Noticed at 100 KIAS. Tower requested a step over from runway 27R to runway 27L. I informed that would not be a problem and stepped over to runway 27L. Upon wheels touching down, I noticed that I started to float up. When plane came back down, it began to bounce up and down. On about the 3RD of maybe 5 or 6 bounces, the propeller struck the ground. Kept plane straight down runway and added left rudder at end of runway to turn off of runway.
