SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Water Easement for a Fire Line Backflow and a Developer's Agreement for Donation of Water Facilities to the City of Tampa at Bing Elementary School

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

As part of the HVAC update and modification at Bing Elementary School, the School Board is required to install certain potable water facilities for a fire line at the school's northern boundary adjacent to the school's front driveway.  The plans for the fire line were submitted to the City of Tampa's Water Department and approved.  The Developers Agreement (attached as "Exhibit A") requires the School Board to donate these facilities to the City and 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.  It is the practice of the City of Tampa to sign their standard Developers Agreement after it has been executed by the donating party.

The City of Tampa will need ingress and egress onto the school campus to maintain and operate the fire line equipment, and this would require the School Board to grant an easement to the City to do so (attached as Exhibit B").

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Demonstrate "best practices" in all aspects of safety including students, employees, visitors, facilities, transportation, and health • Construct and maintain facilities that create an environment conducive to teaching and learning
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  No)

Approval of the Grant of Water Easement and the Developer's Agreement to the City of Tampa for the fire line at Bing Elementary School will not have any financial impact to the School Board of Hillsborough County.
