Title: RE2 New Suncoast High School

Recommendation:
I recommend the School Board approve the Real Estate Sale and Purchase Contract for acquisition of an improved property containing 7,200 sf, more or less, Riviera Beach which property is adjacent to the John F. Kennedy Middle School campus for the new Suncoast High School campus as herein described; approve a resolution declaring structure (s) located on the property to be acquired by the School Board to be unnecessary for Educational purposes, surplus and without commercial value; and authorize the Superintendent and Chairman to sign all necessary documents.

Description:

• The School Board approved the relocation of Suncoast High School and the construction of the New Riviera Beach Area High School (02-MMM) on the site of Suncoast High School.

• Because the New Riviera Beach Area High School (02-MMM) will be constructed on the site of the existing Suncoast HS a new site is needed for Suncoast HS.  This new site will be contiguous with J.F. Kennedy Middle School and Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune Elementary School and create a K-12 campus.

• The improved property located at 1840 West 13^th Street, Riviera Beach containing 7,200 sf is adjacent to John F. Kennedy Middle School.

• The Modernization of John F. Kennedy Middle School and the relocation of Suncoast High School requires the acquisition of an additional + 32.81 acres. See Exhibit “A” & A2”.

• The School District has already acquired + 11.60 of the adjusted ± 32.81 acres needed.

• The Contract price for the improved property is $170,000.00.  The appraised value of the property is $140,000.00.

• The Purchase price was negotiated with the owner as a willing seller.

Financial Impact:
The financial impact to the Project’s Budget is $190,000.00.
