About this opportunity
The Volusia County School Board has issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN-2024-9000) for a Public-Private Partnership (P3) to design and construct a new K-8 school facility in the City of DeBary, Florida. The solicitation seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive services including land acquisition, design, and construction of a school with approximately 1,353 student capacity spanning 161,230 gross square feet. The project requires a two to three-story facility on a 20-acre site, with specific design criteria emphasizing modern, energy-efficient, and technologically advanced educational spaces. Proposers must submit detailed documentation including business structure, past performance, staff qualifications, project methodology, and financial information. The evaluation process will be conducted in multiple phases, including written submittal review, formal presentations, and negotiations, using an adjectival scoring system with weights assigned to various categories such as business structure, experience, proposed staff, project approach, workload, and cost proposal. Key dates include a pre-submittal conference on July 29, 2024, proposal submissions due on August 15, 2024, at 2:00 PM EST, and an estimated project budget of $60 million.
The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. 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. ultimately recommended for an interim agreement. The project will require integration of advanced technological infrastructure, including comprehensive security systems based on the Sturrup Standards, which emphasize automated safety features, biometric access control, and smart classroom technologies. Proposers must comply 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 contract solely with the selected developer, with a separate budget allocated for computers, curriculum, furniture, fixtures, and equipment. The project will include specialized educational spaces such as Art, Music, STEM/Maker Space, Computer Lab, and Orientation and Explorations Lab, with a focus on creating a flexible and adaptable 21st-century learning environment.
