Agenda Item #33
Title
APPROVAL OF ONE TIME CHANGE TO THE MAY 19, 2015 BOARD AGENDA, ITEM NO. 34, APPROVAL OF CONTRACTS FOR PROFESSIONAL DESIGN/BUILD SERVICES
Description
Florida Statute No. 287.055 stipulates that design/build continuing services contracts have a dollar limitation not to exceed two (2) million dollars ($2,000,000.00). The School Board of Sarasota County has established a dollar limitation of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00). At the Englewood Elementary School the project was originally budgeted below the $1,000,000.00 limitation. As the project was designed and cost determined, it became apparent that the scope of the project had increased and the project would exceed the board limitation of $1,000,000.00. This one time revision would allow the project to proceed with construction this summer (2016) as currently planned. The alternative would be to scale the scope back by one building and delay the renovation of the second building.
Recommendation
That the Board limitation for Design/Build Contracts of $1,000,000.00 be increased to $1,300,000.00 for one specific project.
