Revisions to Educational Specifications

Exhibit C

SCHOOL BOARD INFORMATION ITEM 03/12/2020 11

  • School Board approved the project Educational

Specifications on January 10, 2019.

  • Final Design is consistent with the approved Educational

Specifications with one exception:

  • Breakfast Kiosk space converted into Small Group

Instruction (SGI).

  • As design finalized, staff determined that a centralized

food service operation within W-L was more efficient/effective than a distributed one.

  • The SGI will provide additional flexibility to meet

instructional needs.

  • The SGI is not considered capacity generating, so the

planned building capacity remains unchanged.

  • As a separate project, work will occur summer 2020 to

increase the serving capacity of the W-L kitchen.

Cost Drivers – Comparing CIP to Final Design

  • Estimates prepared that formed the basis of the funding in the FY 2019-2028 CIP utilized

preliminary review of existing conditions and conceptual design study.

  • Completion of the interior demolition and final design documents added scope to the

project including:

  • More extensive site redevelopment to strengthen accessible connection to W-L,

correct paving and drainage issues, and install right-of-way pedestrian improvements;

  • More extensive interior renovations that included relocating the elevators and

reconstructing one stairway;

  • Necessary HVAC, fire alarm, and IT infrastructure modifications within the

Planetarium; and

  • Hazardous material abatement beyond what was expected.
  • Construction costs continue to increase sharply in the DC metro area, with some trades

and materials escalating at rates that exceed previous forecasts.

Cost Management

  • Staff used a series of bid alternates to compare

costs between multiple design options and evaluate possible scope reductions.

  • All alternates were additive, representing an

increase to the base cost.

  • Proposed construction sum includes alternates

related to:

  • Replacement of fourth floor windows
  • Exterior improvements to correct existing

safety issues

  • Proposed construction sum does not include

alternates related to:

  • Enlarging ground floor window openings

(windows will be replaced within the existing

  • penings)

Recommendations

Approve Exhibits A through D, including the following aspects of the project:

  • Reaffirm basic project criteria to create 500 to 600 new high school seats, to be

completed in time for start of school September 2021;

  • Site plan and development conditions of the approved Use Permit. The School Board

authorizes the Chair to sign related legal instruments, such as easements, vacations, and dedications, as may be required to comply with conditions of the Use Permit, provided such instruments were first reviewed and approved as to form by APS legal counsel;

  • Final design for the project as generally described in Exhibits A and B;
  • Revisions to the Educational Specifications as generally described in Exhibit C:
  • Total project budget and funding available as described in Exhibit D;
  • Construction contract award to MCN Build in the amount of $29,194,176 by increasing the

existing purchase order to include the added contract value; and

  • Transfer of $1.3 million from the Capital Reserve to the project funding.
