Due to budget limitations, the recently completed renovation at Ruskin Elementary School did not address all facility needs identified during the assessment used to establish the renovation scope.  Staff had identified sufficient unused funds from several projects to accomplish the previously unfunded requirements.

District staff selected Wilder Architecture, Inc. and Williams Company Tampa from the approved Continuing Services Consultants list to provide design and construction management services.  The renovation  included lighting upgrades; renovation of the kiln room; new instructional aids; and correction of power, data, air infiltration, and heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) system deficiencies in selected areas of the school to comply with current codes and educational specification requirements. 

The architect advises that the referenced project is finally complete in accordance with the plans and specifications and other contract documents and recommends Board acceptance.

This item was included in the District Capital Outlay: Certificates in Participation Series (CoPS) 2004B.
