27. COMPETITION IMPRACTICABLE WITH ARIZONA JEWISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY Approve a Competition Impracticable agreement with Arizona Jewish Historical Society in the amount of $2,000,000. The State of Arizona mandates that students are taught about the Holocaust at least twice between the seventh and twelfth grades. The Arizona Holocaust education Center is the only Holocaust Education Center in the state. The agreement is between Maricopa County and the Arizona Jewish Historical Society (AZJHS) for construction of the Arizona Holocaust Education Center (“Holocaust Center”). The County shall pay to AZJHS a one-time payment of two million dollars ($2,000,000) from Community Solutions Funding (CSF) to subsidize the cost of admission for public school students in Maricopa County to be admitted at no charge to the Holocaust Center. The Holocaust Center will educate students and the public about the Holocaust through local survivor stories, artifacts, immersive media experience and programs. Maricopa County desires to use a portion of CSF to assist public schools located within the County’s jurisdiction in meeting this curriculum requirement. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date it is fully executed and shall expire 90 days following the completion of construction of the project. (C-06-25-154-X-00)
