<br /> Cedar Ridge High School Construction Project Ordinance
<br /> 3. On November 21, 2000, the Board of Commissioners approved a resolution to provide
<br /> funding for a new high school in the Orange County School District. In keeping with the
<br /> Board of County Commissioners' recently adopted Policy on Planning and Funding School
<br /> Capital Projects, the school system requests that the Commissioners approve the Design
<br /> and Construction Phase of this project. In this phase, the Commissioners approve a total
<br /> project budget by component — site acquisition, site development, design fees, moveable
<br /> equipment, technology, construction contingency and one-time start-up costs. This
<br /> amendment brings the total project budget to $27,960;000. As the project progresses, the
<br /> Board of Education has the latitude to shift funds between major components without
<br /> bringing an amendment. back to the Commissioners. The School Superintendent will
<br /> provide the County Manager with written project updates at their monthly meetings and, in
<br /> turn, the County Manager will provide updates to the Commissioners. At the completion of
<br /> the project, staff will bring a final capital project ordinance to the Commissioners. This
<br /> provides an opportunity for the Commissioners to see how the original project budget
<br /> compares to the final budget, and serves as the mechanism for the official close out of the
<br /> project.
<br /> To-date, the Commissioners have approved funds for site acquisition ($679,336) and
<br /> architectural fees ($1,250,000). The school system requests that the Commissioners now
<br /> approve funds for site work, facility construction, moveable equipment, technology,
<br /> contingency and one-time start-up costs. The table below outlines each of the project
<br /> components:
