The file is a meeting recording (ITN-2024-9000_Bid_Opening_-_Meeting_Recording.mp4) for the Volusia County School Board's Public-Private Partnership (P3) solicitation to design and construct a new K-8 school facility in DeBary, Florida. The project involves building a two to three-story school with approximately 1,353 student capacity, spanning 161,230 gross square feet on a 20-acre site. Key procurement dates include a pre-submittal conference on July 29, 2024, with proposal submissions due on August 15, 2024, at 2:00 PM EST. The estimated project budget is $60 million, and the school will feature specialized educational spaces such as Art, Music, STEM/Maker Space, Computer Lab, and Orientation and Explorations Lab.

The procurement process will be conducted through a multi-phase evaluation using an adjectival scoring system, with weights assigned to business structure, experience, proposed staff, project approach, workload, and cost proposal. Two firms, Public School Development Solutions and Florida Blueprint Schools, were initially short-listed and later selected as finalists, with Building Tomorrow's Schools, Inc. recommended for an interim agreement. The project requires compliance with State Requirements for Educational Facilities (SREF) and must meet one of three green building standards: Green Globes, LEED, or Florida Green Building Coalition. The school board will purchase the land outright and will have a separate budget for computers, curriculum, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. The facility will integrate advanced technological infrastructure, including comprehensive security systems based on the Sturrup Standards, emphasizing automated safety features, biometric access control, and smart classroom technologies.
