INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN MIAMI-DADE SCHOOL BOARD, CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH TO BENEFIT LOCAL K-8 CENTER 

The Miami-Dade County School Board and the City of Sunny Isles Beach Commission both approved an Interlocal Agreement to facilitate the construction of an addition at
the Norman S. Edelcup/Sunny Isles Beach K-8.  The Interlocal, a model of intergovernmental cooperation, provides for upfront financing by the City and a cost sharing partnership between the School Board and the City.

The project will consist of an addition over the existing K-8 cafeteria, including 12 intermediate classrooms with individual restrooms for an estimated 264 students, as well as a walkway connector between the addition and the existing school building.

The estimated total project cost is $4 million, which includes site work, design, construction and FF&E (furniture, fixtures and equipment).
