Approval of Multiple Agreements for Somerset & Explorer K-8 Access

 

body

Executive Summary

The Director of Facilities & Construction, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board approve multiple Agreements for Somerset & Explorer K-8 access.

 

The Developer of Somerset has agreed to reconfigure access to Explorer K-8 from Northcliffe Blvd. to facilitate construction of a new 4-lane extension of Explorer Blvd. into the new development, while also providing improvements to the school, including new extended parent queuing lanes on school property, new sidewalks, new fencing and gates, and a new marquee sign.

 

To accomplish this, multiple agreements must be executed between the School Board, Hernando County, Duke Energy, and the Developer, to terminate an Easement Encroachment Agreement with Duke Energy, to transfer ownership of multiple parcels between parties, to provide a temporary easement for construction on School Board property, and to provide permanent easements for the maintenance of electrical transmission facilities and drainage ponds.

Financial Impact

See attached budget sheet.

 

If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District.  Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
