Approve Construction Documents and Guaranteed Maximum Price and Resolution to Draw Additional Impact Fee Funds for Lamb Elementary School

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Lamb Elementary School will be built within the Magnolia Park Subdivision on property owned by the School Board adjacent to Progress Village Middle Magnet School to support recent and future growth impacting Ippolito and Frost Elementary Schools. The school is being designed to achieve Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification, and will open in August 2015 for the 2015-2016 school year.

On July 30, 2013, the Board appointed Holmes Hepner & Associates Architects, Inc. and Batson-Cook Company to provide design and construction management services. The Board subsequently approved a Resolution for Impact Fee Fund Disbursement from the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners in the amount of $18,187,560 to fund the design, construction and capital equipment acquisition for the project. 

Approval of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) will establish the cost for the project. Based on the anticipated final cost of construction and capital equipment, approval of the attached Resolution for Impact Fee Fund Disbursement requesting permission to draw an additional $3,500,000 of Impact Fee Funds is also requested.

Project completion is scheduled for July 2015.
