VI.i. Approval of Amendment No. 6 for Architectural, Civil, and Electrical Engineering Services between the Davis Joint Unified School District and HMC Architects (HMC) for the Davis High School Ron and Mary Brown Stadium Visitor Bleachers
Recommended Motion:

Approve Amendment No. 6 for Architectural, Civil, and Electrical Engineering Services between the Davis Joint Unified School District and HMC Architects (HMC) for the Davis High School Ron and Mary Brown Stadium Visitor Bleachers.      


Rationale:

On December 18, 2008, the Board of Education identified and prioritized the Davis High School Stadium Upgrade project as a top tier capital project for future construction. HMC Architects was the firm the district selected to perform the architectural and engineering services for Phase I and Phase II of the Davis High School Stadium Upgrades project.

The project was broken into two phases.  May 21, 2009, Phase I was approved by the Board, which included a new synthetic turf field and track system, field hockey natural turf replacement, lighting, scoreboard, and infrastructure.  In April 2010, Phase II was approved and consisted of new home bleachers, ticket/concessions building, restrooms, bike plaza and associated site work.  Due to unforeseen conditions (including, but not limited to inaccurate As-Builts drawings and undocumented infrastructure modifications, design modifications and additions from the district) the visitor bleachers were removed from the contract and never built.   

This agreement with HMC Architects will provide the required engineering and planning services that will ensure the visitor bleachers will meet the approval of the State Architects Office.  

 


 
Financial Impact:

The approval of Amendment 6 for the Davis High School Visitor Bleachers in the amount of $22,950 will have no fiscal impact on the General Fund.  Funding for the total project will be through Deferred Maintenance Funding and paid for by the COP borrowing for restricted facilities funds specifically for this project.

VI.j. Approval of Agreement for Architectural, Civil, and Electrical Engineering Services between the Davis Joint Unified School District and HMC Architects (HMC) for the Marguerite Montgomery Elementary School New Shade Structure
Recommended Motion:

Approve Agreement for Architectural, Civil, and Electrical Engineering Services between the Davis Joint Unified School District and HMC Architects (HMC) for the Marguerite Montgomery Elementary School New Shade Structure.



Rationale:

The Marguerite Montgomery Elementary PTA has identified a need for additional shade on the playground, which is in line with LCAP goal 2, and has made the decision to purchase two (2) 14’ new fabric shade sail structures for the playground area with an option to install a third one at a later date if necessary. The PTA has a budget of $38,000 which includes a grant specifically for a shade structure at the site. 

This agreement with HMC Architects, one of our district approved architect firms, will provide the required engineering and planning services to deliver a comprehensive design that will ensure the shade structures will meet the approval of the State Architects Office.  

 


 
Financial Impact:

This project will have no fiscal impact on the General Fund.  The services outlined in the Agreement are based on the estimated design service time to complete the project scope. Costs associated with this project will be paid for by Marguerite Montgomery PTA funds and a grant specifically allocated for the shade structure. The total cost of this project including construction and all soft costs is $35,200.

VI.k. Business Protection Specialists Inc. Consultant's Agreement
Recommended Motion:

Approve the contract between Business Protection Specialists Inc. (BPS) and the Davis Joint Unified School District.


Rationale:

This contract was developed by BPS and DJUSD in response to the Board of Education and the Superintendent’s request to implement a review of school safety as generally described in the DJUSD Strategic Plan, in school sites’ Comprehensive Safety Plans, in Board Policies and Administrative Regulations, and in district protocols.

The security assessment will include a review of policies, procedures, emergency plans, history, existing security reports or research, physical site designs, security incident reports, crime statistics, interview with DJUSD school security staff, administrators, Davis Police, school staff, parents, community members.  All district school sites and the district office will be included in the assessment which will include 24 hour on-site visits of all campuses.

An initial phone and internet assessment of 20 security consultant firms was conducted to determine which firms had the experience in school site assessments.  Two firms were interviewed in person and BPS was found to have the experience and expertise to provide a quality product to DJUSD.

The contract with BPS comprises three components, which include an initial off-site review of district and police documents, an on-site review of all school sites and the district office, and a final report.

 
Financial Impact:

This contract will increase general fund expenditures by $43,500 for the 2015-2016 school year, although some of this cost may be mitigated by North Bay Safety Credits.
