Elevator Modernization #5

The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) has issued a notice of intent to negotiate a contract for elevator modernization services, specifically identified as Elevator Modernization #5 under solicitation number AD-10506. This action follows a solicitation process that did not yield at least two responsive bids, allowing FSDB to proceed with negotiations under Florida statutes. The project is valued between $500,000 and $2,000,000 and is categorized under NAICS code 238290, which pertains to other building equipment contractors. The solicitation was posted on October 2, 2024, with a response deadline of October 7, 2024. The primary contact for the project is Leigh Gillette, reachable via email or phone, and the project location is within Florida. This process is not a competitive bidding solicitation but a formal notice that FSDB intends to negotiate the terms of the contract directly, as permitted by law when fewer than two bids are received. The notice emphasizes that interested parties should review the entire advertisement before making inquiries and clarifies that calls are not accepted for solicitation questions. The document underscores the agency’s adherence to statutory procedures, including protest rights and contact protocols, ensuring transparency and compliance with applicable Florida statutes and administrative rules.
