EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This project was planned by the architectural firm of Long & Associates Architects/Engineers, Inc. On November 18, 2003, the Board appointed the construction management firm of Hardin Construction Company. This new facility is located in the New Tampa area and was a reuse of the Shields Middle School design. The school opened in August 2006 and relieved overcrowding at Benito and Liberty Middle Schools.

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.
