BARTELS MIDDLE SCHOOL
LIVE OAK SPORTS COMPLEX FACILITY
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 2 TO THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This project is being planned by the firm of Long & Associates, Engineering/Architects, Inc. On November 18, 2003, the Board appointed the construction management firm of Hardin Construction Group, Inc. to supervise construction of the school facility. Nancy Bartels Middle School, located in the New Tampa area, will relieve Benito Middle School and Liberty Middle School and is scheduled to open August 2006. The Live Oak Sports Complex was not included in the original scope pending the development of an interlocal agreement. An interlocal agreement was approved by the Board on October 25, 2005 and approval of Amendment No. 2 will allow for construction of the sports complex facility. The construction of this new facility will be based on construction documents prepared by the Woodroffe Corporation, architects under contract with the Board of County Commissioners.
