Agenda Item #53
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 million dollars ($2,000,000.00). The School Board of Sarasota has recently established a limitation of two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) for Design Build contracts under policy 7.71. The original contract for Design Build Services approved on the May 19, 2015 board agenda established a limitation of one million dollars for each contract. As the project for the required Security Fencing and Gates at Multiple School Sites was designed and cost determined, it became apparent that the scope of the project would exceed the contract limitation of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) This revision would allow the district to procure critical fencing materials needed to secure campuses prior to the start of the 2018/2019 school year. The contract is attached. Under the provisions of School Board Policy 7.71 the Superintendent or his designee would sign the contract.
Recommendation
That the contract limitation for Design/Build Contracts of $1,000,000.00 be increased to $1,500,000.00 for the Safety and Security Fencing and Gates Multiple Campuses project only.
