Project Overview

Sarasota County undertook the construction of a new Planning & Development Services One Stop Center in Sarasota, Florida, with a total project value of $27,000,000. The facility was designed to consolidate county planning and development services into a single, accessible location, spanning approximately 40,000 to 50,000 square feet with associated site and infrastructure work. The client pursued the construction management contract through Sarasota County's competitive public procurement process and engaged PRESWERX to develop a comprehensive pursuit package. PRESWERX delivered a written proposal, a polished selection presentation, and targeted presentation coaching to prepare the client's team for the selection.

Client Challenges

Competing for a government construction management contract requires more than technical qualifications. The client needed to navigate a structured public procurement process and communicate their approach clearly to a county owner with high expectations for accountability and service delivery: 

  • Producing a written proposal that met Sarasota County's public procurement standards while making a compelling case for the client's construction management approach. 

  • Translating a straightforward but operationally important civic facility into a presentation narrative that demonstrated genuine understanding of the county's goals. 

  • Preparing the team to perform confidently in a formal government interview format where clarity and professionalism carry as much weight as technical depth. 

Success required a pursuit package that was both structurally rigorous and persuasive, built for a public owner who evaluates every submittal with care.

Scope of Work

PRESWERX developed a full written and presentation pursuit package for the client's Planning & Development Services One Stop Center bid. The proposal was structured to address Sarasota County's construction management selection criteria, clearly presenting the client's qualifications, project approach, and understanding of the facility's operational intent. PRESWERX then built the client's selection presentation, translating the proposal narrative into a format suited for a live government interview. Targeted presentation coaching followed, preparing the client's team to deliver their message with precision, professionalism, and the composure a public sector selection panel expects.

PRESWERX Approach

PRESWERX approached this engagement with a focus on the requirements of a formal public procurement, building every deliverable to the standard of a county owner that evaluates proposals and presentations with structured criteria. 

  • Drafted a proposal that addressed Sarasota County's selection criteria directly while clearly articulating the client's construction management methodology and relevant experience. 

  • Developed a presentation that translated the written proposal into a concise, conversational narrative suited for a government interview panel. 

  • Coached the client's team to present with confidence and precision, anticipating the types of questions a public owner asks in a construction management selection. 

Every element of the package worked together to position the client as a well-organized, communicative, and fully prepared construction management partner for a Sarasota County civic project.

Results Delivered

PRESWERX produced a complete written and presentation pursuit package for a $27,000,000 public sector construction management competition, built to the standards of a formal government procurement process. 

  • The proposal gave Sarasota County a thorough, well-organized document that clearly communicated the client's qualifications and project approach. 

  • The selection presentation gave the client's team a structured, interview-ready narrative that translated complex construction management concepts into plain, owner-accessible language. 

  • Presentation coaching left the team sharp, prepared, and confident heading into a formal government interview with a county selection panel. 

The client entered the selection fully equipped with a professional pursuit package and a team ready to compete at the level Sarasota County expected.
