About this opportunity

The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) has announced the shortlist for interviews under RFQ-26-104, a design-build project for the Walker Annex remodel, with shortlisted vendors required to confirm attendance by July 8, 2026. Three vendors advanced to the interview phase: AULD & WHITE (64 points), E. VAUGHAN RIVERS (63 points), and SCORPIO (62 points). GILBANE and STELLAR GROUP were disqualified — GILBANE for missing addendum information from Appendix A, and STELLAR GROUP for missing Appendix D with the included appendix completed by a subcontractor rather than the prime.

The presentation and interview phase will take place on the FSDB campus at Moore Hall CLD on September 1, 2026. Each vendor has 45 minutes: 30 minutes for presentation and 15 minutes for Q&A with the evaluation team. SCORPIO is scheduled at 9:00 a.m., E. VAUGHAN RIVERS at 10:00 a.m., and AULD & WHITE at 11:00 a.m. Vendors must confirm attendance and disclose audiovisual needs by email to Christine Skaggs (Purchasing Analyst, skaggsc@fsdbk12.org) and Kim Whitwam (Director of Purchasing, whitwamk@fsdbk12.org). An HDMI cable is available for laptop-to-screen connection. All questions should be submitted by email to the same contacts.

This announcement does not include contract value, term, scope detail beyond the project name, or incumbent information.
