What limits apply to an annual facility maintenance permit used by a school board?

Correct Answer

C) Not more than $200,000 per project, and the permit is valid for 1 year

Section 553.80(6)(d) allows these permits for routine maintenance, emergency repairs, refurbishment and minor renovations: "The amount expended for maintenance projects may not exceed $200,000 per project. A facility maintenance permit is valid for 1 year." A detailed log must be kept and submitted annually, and a pattern of violations lets the building official withhold future permits.
