t7, <br /> „v. <br /> Orange County Board of Commissioners -2- November 26, 1985 <br /> 3) Begin construction soon after contracts are awarded. <br /> To accomplish this phase, the Orange County Board of Education will <br /> need a resolution of authorization from the Commissioners to let these <br /> contracts, which will extend through July - August, 1987. <br /> Based on the work we have done to date, the early estimate of cost <br /> is insufficient to accomplish the needed changes to prepare the Orange <br /> High facility for grades 9-12 and to improve the parts of the school which <br /> have not been upgraded to meet needs earlier identified. The current pro- <br /> jected cost is $2,800,000 plus 8 percent (5 percent for bid variance and <br /> 3 percent for project contingency) . <br /> We realize this cost exceeds the amount earlier discussed, but the payout <br /> period is also extended past July 1, 1987; whereas, the earlier financing <br /> plan called foir payout prior to June 30, 1987. This payout will allow revenues <br /> to be used from budget year 1987-88. <br /> It will so allow us to expand the media services area, renovate science <br /> laboratories, expand the cafeteria, and air condition the auditorium; as <br /> examples of a clmoprehensive improvement plan. <br /> Therefore we respectfully request the needed authorization to accomplish <br /> the outlined rk in a timely manner. We thank you on behalf of the Board of <br /> Education, students currently in our system and students of the future. <br /> DGL:ha <br /> cc: Orange County Board of Education Members <br /> Mr. Ken us on, County Manager <br /> • <br />
