The file is a meeting recording (ITN-2024-9000_Bid_Opening_-_Meeting_Recording.mp4) related to a Public-Private Partnership (P3) solicitation issued by the Volusia County School Board in Florida. The project involves designing and constructing a new K-8 school facility in the City of DeBary, with a targeted student capacity of 1,353 students and approximately 161,230 gross square feet. The school will be a two to three-story facility situated on a 20-acre site, with a pre-submittal conference scheduled for July 29, 2024, and proposal submissions due on August 15, 2024, at 2:00 PM EST. The estimated project budget is $60 million, and the procurement process involves multiple evaluation phases, including written submittal review, formal presentations, and negotiations.

The project requires comprehensive services including land acquisition, design, and construction, with specific requirements for technological infrastructure, security systems, and green building standards. The school board will purchase the land and contract directly with the selected developer, with a separate budget for computers, curriculum, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Two firms, Public School Development Solutions and Florida Blueprint Schools, were initially short-listed, with Building Tomorrow's Schools, Inc. recommended for an interim agreement. The facility will incorporate specialized educational spaces like Art, Music, STEM/Maker Space, Computer Lab, and Orientation and Explorations Lab, emphasizing a flexible 21st-century learning environment. The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations, and proposers must comply with State Requirements for Educational Facilities (SREF) and meet one of three green building standards.
