SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Acceptance of Project for High School "UUU" (Strawberry Crest), New Facility
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Board previously appointed Long & Associates Architects/Engineers, Inc. and HCBeck, Ltd. to provide design and construction management services for a new high school and associated road and utility connections in the Plant City area. As of the current boundaries, this school relieved Armwood, Durant, and Plant City High Schools.

The Board approved separate Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) amendments for the four project components: the new high school; a central utility plant serving the new high school, Bailey Elementary School, and a future middle school; roadway improvements to the entrance road to the three-school site and the road's intersection with the adjacent State highway; and a sanitary lift station and approximately four miles of off-site sanitary force main for connection of each school's sanitary sewer to the Hillsborough County Wastewater Treatment system. The off-site force main and road improvements were transferred to Hillsborough County at the conclusion of the project for operation and maintenance.

The architect advises that the project is complete and recommends Board acceptance.
