This Addendum #1 is a Questions and Answers document issued by the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) Purchasing Department for RFP-27-052, Settles Gym Window Replacements, dated October 12, 2026. The project involves the removal and replacement of fourteen glass block window assemblies at Settles Gymnasium (building #17) on the FSDB campus in St. Augustine, Florida—twelve second-floor block windows in room #201 and two first-floor block windows in room #108—with new exterior aluminum storefront windows featuring impact-resistant insulated glazing. Deliverables include shop drawings, product data, installation plans, proper disposal of existing assemblies, complete perimeter waterproofing with flashing systems, and interior and exterior surface repairs. The pre-bid qualification response is due November 16, 2026 at 1:45 PM, with a mandatory site visit scheduled for December 1, 2026, and final bid responses due December 18, 2026 at 2:00 PM. Installation is scheduled Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, between February 15 and April 16, 2027, with notice of intent to award anticipated by January 16, 2027.

The estimated contract threshold is $200,000. Vendors must hold valid Florida licenses at submittal, register in MyFloridaMarketPlace, provide at least three references from projects completed within the past three years, submit a bid bond equal to 5% of the bid amount, and execute a 100% payment and performance bond upon award. This addendum addresses a question submitted by TIMEKEY Glazing regarding the unavailability of drawings and information on quantities and sizes; the FSDB responded that all required information is contained in the Solicitation document available on the FSDB Purchasing website and that plans and specifications will be distributed to qualified vendors at the Mandatory Site Visit. Small businesses, minority-owned businesses, and Florida-certified veteran business enterprises are encouraged to participate. The FSDB reserves the right to reject any or all responses and conduct best and final offer negotiations.
