The facility renewal project at Coquina Elementary was constructed in summer 2018 and was funded through sales surtax and capital allocation because the extensive HVAC work required exceeded the sales surtax budget. The sanitary sewer system renewal is included in the sales surtax renewal plan (year 1), but the work is more extensive than anticipated based on investigative work was done over winter break in response to a collapsed sewer pipe.  The project manager has also identified electrical upgrades that need to be done at the school. 

OCI Associates, Inc. has submitted a proposal for design services in an amount not to exceed $59,800 under their continuing contract for mechanical electrical and fire protection engineering services. Administration and permitting services were previously budgeted.

The project (design and construction) will be funded through programmed sales surtax renewal funds ($228,032) and supplemental funding ($400,000) from the 2014 sales surtax revenue over the $198 million program target. The Independent Citizens Oversight Committee considered and recommended approval of the supplemental sales surtax funding  at its February 17, 2021 meeting. School Board consideration of the allocation is scheduled for March 9, 2021. 

Board approval is required for purchase orders over $50,000. The standard agreement template has been used, which does not require legal review.

Approve the design budget in the amount of $59,800 for the sanitary sewer and electrical renewal project at Coquina Elementary School.
