Florida Statutes and School Board policy outline the process and requirements for selection of design professionals, engineers, and construction managers.  The process (Attachment A) provides for the identification of the most highly qualified firms by a Professional Services Selection Committee (Attachment B) that includes representatives from several District divisions and the community.

 

Twenty-one design professionals and fourteen construction managers responded to the solicitation (Attachment C).  Final results of the Committee's evaluation of these firms at each phase of the process are shown in Attachments D and E.

 

Staff has successfully concluded negotiations with the firms deemed most highly qualified by the Selection Committee to provide the required services. Based on the Selection Committee ranking and successful negotiations, staff recommends appointment of the firms and award of the corresponding fees as shown in Attachment F.
