Compensation will be structured as Cost of Work Plus a Fee with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) delivery method, with preconstruction phase fees negotiated for each specific project and construction phase compensation calculated as Cost of Work plus a percentage-based fee. Individual projects are limited to those not exceeding the threshold defined in Section 287.055(2)(g) of Florida Statutes. Minimum qualifications require firms to hold current Certification as a Prequalified Contractor and maintain licensure as a Certified General Contractor in Florida. Evaluation criteria emphasize financial strength, business structure, experience, past performance, project approach, workload capacity, and references, with preference given to firms with previous K-12 construction experience. No specific funding amount is identified, as project funding will depend on individual project requirements and available school district funds. The School Board reserves the right to select multiple firms and to waive informalities or reject any or all submittals. No incumbent vendors, set-aside designations, or specific technology integration requirements are outlined in the solicitation.
