Status:
State Educational Plant Survey 1996 _ 2001 Extension
Section 235.15 of Florida Statutes requires a plant survey be conducted at least every five years. The current plant survey was conducted in the spring of 1996 and spans the five-year period from 1996 through 2001. A major revision was made to the document in 1999 per a legislative requirement. The validation period for the current survey ends in September 2001. An extension is requested so that the survey document can be developed in conjunction with the Long Range Facilities Master plan effort. It is important that the State Educational Plant Survey planning be congruent with the Long-Range Facilities Master Plan. To conserve resources and not duplicate efforts the Long Range Master Plan consultant will be responsible for producing the plant survey document. During the development and production of the documents the current Educational State Plant Survey must stay valid until a new survey is submitted to the Department of Education.
The goals of the Long-Range Facilities Master Plan and the State Educational Plant Survey are one in the same: to aid the district in formulating plans for housing its educational program and student population. The State Educational Plant Survey will provide the first five-year overlay of the Long-Range Facilities Master Plan. Projects utilizing Public Education Capital Outlay (PECO), Capital Outlay and Debt Service (CO&DS), Certificates of Participation (COPS) funding are required to be documented in the State Educational Plant Survey. The most efficient and comprehensive approach to preparing both survey and master plan documents is to develop them simultaneously. Approving this extension does not commit funding of any kind beyond the Approved District Facilities Work Program.
As the cost of this item cannot be determined at this time, funding will be identified at the time of contract award. At that time, it will be necessary for funding to come from the Capital Projects Contingency.
Requested Action
Approve the extension of the valid period of the current 1996-2001 State Edukcational Plant Survey (Revised 1999) for one year.
