The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) is conducting a competitive solicitation (RFP-26-039) for the Usina Running Track Project, seeking qualified vendors to construct an athletic track facility in St. Johns County. The procurement focuses on track sports equipment and athletic field construction services, with a specific emphasis on identifying competent contractors capable of delivering a high-quality running track installation. Three vendors have been pre-qualified for the project: GeoSurfaces Southeast, Nidy Sports Construction, and American Athletic Track & Turf, each of whom must attend a mandatory pre-response meeting scheduled for December 16, 2025. The solicitation period runs from December 12, 2025, at 3:00 PM through December 17, 2025, at 3:00 PM, with interested vendors required to submit any questions via email to Christine Skaggs (Purchasing Analyst) or Kim Whitwam (Director of Purchasing). While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, the pre-qualification process suggests a rigorous assessment of vendor capabilities, technical expertise, and track record in athletic facility construction.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are mentioned in the current documentation. The solicitation appears open to qualified track and athletic field construction firms without explicit limitations for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. The procurement does not disclose potential award values, budget ranges, or incumbent vendor information. Additionally, no details are provided regarding existing infrastructure requirements or technology integration expectations for the proposed running track project. The selection process will be managed by the FSDB Selection Committee, which will evaluate the responses from the three pre-qualified vendors to determine the most suitable contractor for the Usina Running Track Project. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate comprehensive construction capabilities, relevant experience in athletic facility development, and compliance with the project's technical specifications.
