K.20 APPROVAL OF A BG-1 PROJECT APPLICATION FOR THE
RENOVATION OF TATES CREEK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE: The renovation of the existing Tates Creek Elementary School is
listed as priority 2c.4 on FCPS’s 2009 District Facility Plan. The Director of Facility Design and
Construction has drafted a preliminary cost estimate for the renovation of the existing building and the
construction of a small addition, yielding a final project of approximately 75,529 SF to serve 725 students.
The program is consistent with other recent FCPS elementary school projects. Project cost estimates are
based on the most recent construction bids and include: design and financing fees; furnishings; surveys;
and other miscellaneous costs. The project design must begin now in order to meet an expected
completion date of late 2013. The Board approved GBBN Architects as the design consultant for this
project at its February 28, 2011 meeting.
