The School Board of Hillsborough County recognizes the partnerships with the City of Tampa, Hillsborough County, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, all local enforcement agencies, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to take an advocacy role to communicate information to stakeholders so that all students and the community vigilantly identify and report human trafficking sending a strong message that HCPS will not tolerate any form of this crime.

Consent Agenda Subject 7.04 Approve Acceptance of Project for the Synthetic Turf and Rubber Track Project at Leto High School - Project Number 100483 (Operations) Meeting Jan 23, 2024 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent) Recommended Action Approve the acceptance of project for the synthetic turf and rubber track project at Leto High School. DESCRIPTION : The athletic field at Leto High School has been subject to overuse for many years. The heavy school activities that occur on this field has made it nearly impossible to maintain an acceptable grass playing surface. District staff selected Key Engineering Associates, Inc. and Allstate Construction, Inc. from the approved Continuing Services Consultants List to provide design and construction management services, respectively. The scope of work provided for the installation of artificial turf and its associated drainage system as well as synthetic track resurfacing and installation of relocated track and field events at Leto High School. The design professional has certified that the work is now fully complete in accordance with the plans and specifications and other contract documents and recommends Board Acceptance. GAP ANALYSIS : Natural turf fields can be very costly from a maintenance standpoint when they are used for multiple sports, Physical Education (PE) classes and extra-curricular activities. The natural grass field has needed constant care in recent years to keep the grass growing to create an acceptable and safe playing surface. The new field will create a much-improved playing surface. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: The replacement of heavily used fields with synthetic turf at 15 other schools across the district has reduced the on-going annual maintenance costs at these schools. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: The field at Leto High School will now have 12-14 years of useful life with a much lower annual maintenance cost. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the acceptance of project for the synthetic turf and rubber track project at Leto High School as presented by Key Engineering Associates, Inc. and Allstate Construction, Inc.

Discussion Agenda Subject 2.01 Request for Proposals (RFP) #23198-EST-IV Training Solutions (Innovation and Strategic Planning) Meeting Jan 23, 2024 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent), Discussion Recommended Action Approve the lowest responsive, responsible bid(s)/highest ranked proposal(s) submitted by Training Solutions RFP #23198-EST-TV. Goals Academic Excellence DESCRIPTION : On October 19, 2023, Procurement Services, in conjunction with Career and Technical Education, issued a competitive solicitation for Training Solutions. The initial term of this proposal is for one (1) year with no renewal options. A committee of industry professional was selected from our apprenticeship partners in Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Electrical to select the most appropriate training solutions for Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS). This award will provide skills-based training and interactive learning in the areas of Electricity, HVAC, and Solar. This purchase comes with curriculum aligned, interactive multimedia, print-based lessons, virtual trainers, instructor guides, hands- on industry standard equipment and instructor training. The simulations are closely aligned with industry and Florida Department of Education standards for Electricity, HVAC, and Solar which are all part of the Building Construction Technology program at the Construction Academy at Bowers/Whitley. Students will be able to use the trainers to simulate real world scenarios from the classroom lab. The simulations help to train students in a safe environment before heading out in the field on a job site. The district will also save money on consumable supplies and products that would have to be replenished to replicate some of the learning scenarios set in the lab by these products. The contract term will terminate upon the expenditure of funds or until HCPS has met its requirements of the commodities and contractual services, not to exceed one (1) year. GAP ANALYSIS : There are currently no trainers at the Construction Academy at Bowers/Whitley and students will benefit from this advance technology.

Discussion Agenda Subject 3.01 Sole Source #23130-SSD-RC Purchase and Amendment to Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Between Feeding Tampa Bay and the School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida (Student Support and Federal Programs) Meeting Jan 23, 2024 - Regular School Board Meeting Type Action (Consent), Discussion Recommended Action Approve the sole source purchase and amendment to MOA from Feeding Tampa Bay, Sole Source #23130-SSD-RC. Goals Supportive Organizational Culture Description: The purpose of this amendment is to continue the partnership with Feeding Tampa Bay that provides additional resources to directly support food pantries at eight (8) Community Schools to targeted families and their children. Broward Elementary School, McDonald Elementary School, Jennings Middle School, Potter Elementary, Greco Middle, Gibsonton Elementary, Foster Elementary current Feeding Tampa Bay sites, will extend their partnership for an additional year. Brandon High School, a new Community School, will be initiating their partnership with Feeding Tampa Bay. Per Florida Administrative Code 6A-1.012(12)(d), commodities or contractual services available only from a single source may be exempted from the competitive solicitation requirements. When a district school board believes that commodities or contractual services are available only from a single source, the district school board shall electronically or otherwise publicly post a description of the commodities or contractual services sought for a period of at least 7 business days. The description must include a request that prospective vendors provide information regarding their ability to supply the commodities or contractual services described. If it is determined in writing by the district school board, after reviewing any information received by prospective vendors, that the commodities or contractual services are available only from a single source, the district school board shall provide notice of its intended decision to enter a single source contract in the manner specified in Section 120.57(3), F.S., and may negotiate on the best terms and conditions with the single source vendor. Sole source purchases are reposted annually to verify there are no new suppliers in the applicable industry. This sole source was posted by Procurement Services from June 5, 2023, through June 16, 2023. GAP ANALYSIS : Each school is eligible for Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). CEP is a provision that allows eligible schools to offer a non-pricing meal service to all students at no charge for breakfast and lunch. CEP allows schools that predominantly serve low-income children to offer free, nutritious school meals to all students through the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The partnership with Feeding Tampa Bay will go beyond free breakfast and lunch for students. This program is to help alleviate hunger through the provision of consistent food targeted to families and their children. By providing food relief at schools, these pantries provide a more readily accessible source of food assistance to low-income individuals and families. PREVIOUS OUTCOMES: The food pantries at ten Community Schools provide a more readily accessible source of food assistance to low-income individuals and families. An average of 5,300 families within the ten Community Schools rely upon food assistance from Feeding Tampa Bay through its network of partner agencies and direct distribution programs. EXPECTED OUTCOMES: During the 2022-2023 school year, the four Community Schools completed their Listening Project that surveyed the needs of the community and provided feedback from all stakeholders. Based on the data, 80 percent of families expressed food insecurity. As a result, the Community Schools will continue to focus on food insecurity and increase food access to families by 10 percent. RECOMMENDATION: The Board approve Sole Source #23130-SSD-RC purchase and amendment to Memorandum of Agreement between Feeding Tampa Bay and the School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida.
