SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Developers Agreement for Donation of Potable Water Facilities and Grant of Water Easement for a Fire Line at Woodbridge Elementary School to the City of Tampa

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

As part of the renovations at Woodbridge Elementary School, the School Board was required to install certain potable water facilities for a fire line necessary to service the new fire sprinkler system in the Media Center.  The plans and location for the fire line facilities submitted by the School Board have been reviewed and approved by the City of Tampa's Water Department.  The Agreement requires the School Board to donate these facilities to the City and in turn, the City will assume ownership, maintenance and operation.  The School Board will guarantee the facilities against defects in workmanship and materials for a period of thirteen months. 

Acceptance of the facilities by the City requires the granting of an easement from the School Board to the City for their continued maintenance and operation.  The easement is a 15' x 20' area at the school's southern boundary and does not hinder or restrict any other portion of the campus by the School Board.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Demonstrate "best practices" in all aspects of safety including students, employees, visitors, facilities, transportation, and health
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)

The approval of the Developers Agreement for the donation of the water facilities and Water Easement for a fire line at Woodbridge Elementary School will have no financial impact to the School Board.  The $10,750 construction cost was part of the original construction budget.  Funds were derived from local millage for this project.
