Section 1859.81.1 - Separate Apportionment for Site Acquisition and Design Costs

A district that meets the financial hardship criteria in Section 1859.81 is eligible for the following:

(a) For a new construction project, a separate apportionment for site acquisition, with the exception of site acquisition funding authorized by Section 1859.81.2 or for projects receiving funding pursuant to the Overcrowding Relief Grant, Section 1859.180, when all of the following requirements are met:

(1) The district has eligibility for grants that equal at least 50 percent of the CDE master plan capacity of the site.

(2) The district has received a contingent site approval letter from the CDE indicating that the proposed site is the best available.

(3) The district has obtained a preliminary appraisal of the property by a qualified appraiser utilizing criteria outlined in Section 1859.74.1. This report may be made without access to the site.

(b) If the conditions in (a) are met on a site that does not require a RA, the Board will apportion all of the following less any district funds available for the project pursuant to Section 1859.81(a):

(1) An amount not to exceed 100 percent of the lesser of the preliminary appraised value of the site as determined by Section 1859.74.1 or the amount the district reasonably expects to pay for the site including any hazardous material clean-up.

(2) The estimated relocation expenses that will conform to Title 25, California Code of Regulations, Section 6000, et seq. The reasonable and necessary relocation costs for purchasing fixtures and equipment, personal property, new machinery/equipment, and the installation of any improvements at the replacement residence or business location may be included as relocation assistance.

(3) Four percent of the lesser of the preliminary appraised value of the site or the amount the district reasonably expects to pay for the site acquisition including any hazardous material clean-up but not less than $50,000.

(4) The estimated DTSC costs for review, approval, and oversight of the POESA and the PEA.

(c) If the conditions in (a) are met on a site that will require a RA, the district is eligible for a separate site apportionment not to exceed 50 percent of one and one half times the value of an appraisal that conforms to Section 1859.74.1 for the costs included in (c)(1) and (c)(4) plus the additional costs included in (c)(2) and (c)(3). The costs included in (c)(2) and (c)(3) are in addition to 50 percent of one and one half times the appraisal value cap.

(1) The cost of the site as determined in Section 1859.74.1 and the amount the district reasonably expects to pay for any hazardous materials/waste removal and/or remediation costs for the site.

(2) Fifty percent of the estimated relocation expenses that will conform to Title 25, California Code of Regulations, Section 6000, et seq. The reasonable and necessary relocation costs for purchasing fixtures and equipment, personal property, new machinery/equipment, and the installation of any improvements at the replacement residence or business location may be included as relocation assistance.

(3) Fifty percent of four percent of the lesser of the appraised value of the site or the amount the district reasonably expects to pay for the site acquisition including any hazardous materials/waste removal and/or remediation costs for the site, but not less than 50 percent of $50,000.

(4) The estimated DTSC costs for review, approval and oversight of the POESA and the PEA.

(d) The limitation of 50 percent of one and one half times the value of an appraisal for costs in subsections (c), (c)(1) and (c)(4) may be exceeded when the Board finds that unforeseen circumstances exist, and when both of the following exist:

(1) CDE determines that the site is the best available site for meeting the educational and safety needs of the School District.

(2) Substantiation that the costs are limited to the minimum required to complete the evaluation and RA approved by the DTSC.

(e) For new construction projects, the Board will apportion an amount not to exceed 40 percent of the new construction grant less any district funds available for the project pursuant to Section 1859.81(a), plus $150,000 for new school projects and $250,000 for new construction addition projects that will be pursuing high performance incentive grants as indicated on the school district governing board resolution that shall be submitted to the OPSC as part of a funding request pursuant to this Section. For modernization projects, the Board will apportion an amount not to exceed the following:

(1) If the Approved Application is received on or before April 29, 2002, 20 percent of the modernization grant less any district funds available for the project pursuant to Section 1859.81(a).

(2) If the Approved Application is received after April 29, 2002, 25 percent of the modernization grant less any district funds available for the project pursuant to Section 1859.81(a), plus $250,000 for projects that will be pursuing high performance incentive grants as indicated on the school district governing board resolution that shall be submitted to the OPSC as part of a funding request pursuant to this Section.

The amount apportioned is an estimate of the funds needed for design, engineering, and other pre-construction project costs.

Qualifying districts may request a separate apportionment for the design and for site acquisition for the same new construction project. Those projects requesting an Overcrowding Relief Grant, pursuant to Section 1859.180, do not qualify for these separate apportionments.

The amount provided as a separate apportionment shall be offset from the New Construction Adjusted Grant or the Modernization Adjusted Grant amount the district would otherwise be eligible for pursuant to Sections 1859.70, 1859.71.6, 1859.77.4 and 1859.81 when the district submits Form SAB 50-04. A district seeking a separate apportionment for site acquisition or design costs shall submit Form SAB 50-04. If a new construction project received a previous design apportionment, the district may request an additional design apportionment for that project up to the 40 percent maximum design apportionment allowed pursuant to this Section.

The Form SAB 50-04 that is subsequently submitted for the New Construction Adjusted Grant must be for at least 50 percent of the New Construction Grant the district requested as a separate design apportionment.

The Form SAB 50-04 that is subsequently submitted for the Modernization Adjusted Grant must be for at least 80 percent of the Modernization Grant the district requested as a separate design apportionment that was received on or before April 29, 2002.

The Form SAB 50-04 that is subsequently submitted for the Modernization Adjusted Grant must be for at least 60 percent of the Modernization Grant the district requested as a separate design apportionment that was received after April 29, 2002.

When the Board is accepting applications pursuant to Section 1859.95, the funding of the new construction or modernization grant may be made from funds set aside by the Board for financial hardship. The amount provided as a separate apportionment shall be adjusted at a future date to assure that hardship funding for the project does not exceed the amount the district was otherwise eligible to receive.
