Agenda Item

iii. FY24 Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) - Program Adjustments

Summary: Presented by: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the recommended budget adjustments to projects in the District’s E-SPLOST V program found in the document “E-SPLOST V Adjustments August 2023.pdf."
Why: Several projects in the E-SPLOST V program are complete or no longer necessary. The requested project budget adjustments will move any remaining budget in these projects to program contingency. This will increase the budget available to support still active E-SPLOST V projects.
Details: Several E-SPLOST V projects have been completed in the past year and are ready to have all remaining budget moved to Program Contingency. In addition, the approval of E-SPLOST VI has made several projects, including all “set-aside” projects, no longer necessary. These projects are also ready to have their budget moved to Program Contingency.

The attached E-SPLOST V Adjustments Aug 2023 details all recommended budget adjustments.

All remaining budget moved from closed projects will be used to increase the budget of Project 602: Program Contingency to account for expected future budget increases in remaining active E-SPLOST V projects. Budget will be moved from Program Contingency to active projects as needed at the same time that commitments are approved (for example: Board approval of contract award).
Financial impact: See attached document “E-SPLOST V Adjustments August 2023.pdf” for financial impact on individual E-SPLOST V projects.
