Approve the Funding and Construction Agreement between Crystal Lakes Redevelopment, Ltd., and The School Board of Broward County, Florida, at Bethune Elementary School.
A 20-classroom addition and a new cafeteria is programmed to be constructed on Bethune Elementary School. The construction project requires an 8" water main to accommodate the new facilities.
The Pinnacle Housing Group, in conjunction with the Broward County Housing Authority will be constructing a new subdivision (Crystal Lakes) just south of Bethune Elementary and Attucks Middle Schools. They were planning to install a new water main to service the new homes but were informed by the City of Hollywood that the School Board was planning to install a new line in the same area.
The City of Hollywood was not willing to assist the School Board in financing the new infrastructure and suggested working with the Pinnacle Group in a cost sharing arrangement. As a result, the Crystal Lakes Redevelopment, Ltd. has offered to construct the 8" water main line on North 24th Avenue from Farragut Street to the northernmost point of the development which is approximately Green Street on a 50% cost share basis.
The original construction project included construction of the entire water line from Farragut street.
The School Board Attorney has approved this agreement as to form.
The source of funds in the amount of $108,355 are included in the Adopted District Educational Facilities Plan, Fiscal Years 2005-06 to 2009-10, page 31.
