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 far site acquisition ($679,336) and
<br />architectural fees ($1,250,000). The school system requests that the Commissioners now
<br />approve funds far site work, facility construction, moveable equipment, technology,
<br />contingency and one-time start-up costs. The table below outlines each of the project
