1. - - Is this job, ITB2024010, for Interior Plantation Shutters, OR Exterior Window Shutters?

Exterior Window Shutters.

2.

The specification lists Bald Cypress as the wood material for the shutters. In previous projects for FLDEP, we have used Accoya for wood shutters as it provides superior weather resistance and is more dimensionally stable. Is Accoya a suitable substitute for Bald Cypress?

Accoya is an acceptable substitute. See below for updated Section 4, Scope of Work.
