Section R7-6-506 - Providing Technical Assistance in the Form of Project Management

A. A school district that does not have the experience or resources to manage successfully construction of a new school facility may request technical support from the Board under A.R.S. § 41-5702(D)(13) in the form of project management.

B. The Director may approve or deny a request made under subsection (A). If the Director:

1. Denies the request, the school district may appeal the decision to the Board; and

2. Approves the request, the school district shall agree to reimburse the Board from allocated funds the cost of any independent contractors the Board uses to provide the project-management technical assistance.

C. The Board shall ensure the cost of project-management technical assistance, if needed, is included in the overall cost of the new school facility and derived from the total allocation made by the Board for construction of the new school facility. If the funds the school district receives under A.R.S. § 41-5741 satisfy both the base cost of the new school facility and the cost of project-management technical assistance, the Board shall not provide additional funds to the school district for project-management technical assistance.

D. The Board may provide A school district with funds to pay for the project-management technical assistance in addition to the funds the school district receives under A.R.S. § 41-5741 if:

1. The school district demonstrates the funds it receives under A.R.S. § 41-5741 are not sufficient to build a school facility that meets the building adequacy guidelines and pay for project management; and

2. The school district demonstrates in writing to the Board's satisfaction that the school district does not have the experience or resources necessary to complete construction of the new school facility successfully.
