CONTRACT AWARDED FOR PHASE ONE OF NEW FENCING AT BURLINGAME INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL

At its July 23, 2015 Special Meeting of the Board of Trustees, the Board Awarded a Contract for Phase One of New Fencing at Burlingame Intermediate School.

BSD Staff has explored our campus with the DTA Architects, Burlingame Police Department, and the San Mateo County Schools Insurance Group to assess school security.  Both entities support the efforts BSD has taken, including staff wearing ID badges, locked exterior doors, and an enforced visitor sign-in process.  Both recommend additional perimeter fencing, signage, and gates with the goal to direct visitors to one entrance and restrict access to other entrances during the school day.  Staff and DTA Architects met with school PTA’s, a site design committee made up of staff and parents, and held one (1) public input meeting. 

At the March 11, 2014 Regular Board Meeting, the board awarded a contract for this scope at all K-5 campuses.  Today we are presenting the lowest qualified bid for awarding this scope at BIS.

The first phase of the fences and gates at BIS are for the back of campus security and control.  The majority of added gates would be locked at all times and staff would have keys to access school from parking lots.  Two (2) gates that would currently give access to bike parking and Franklin Elementary School would remain unlocked before and after school.  Two 10 foot rolling gates will give access to Osberg Field and be open after school and weekends.  Phase two of the fences and gates would address the entrances off of Quesada.   The final plan is that only one entrance would remain unlocked for visitors during the school day, while still maintaining all required exiting from the interior.   

An Invitation to Bidders was published in the San Mateo Daily Journal, on the weeks of June 28th, and July 6th.  Four (4) contractors attended the July 9, 2015 mandatory pre-bid conference. Upon staff recommendation the Board awarded the contract to the lowest qualified bidder, Dryco Construction.

Answer

The RFQ lists BIS and five elementary schools, plus Hoover which is currently under construction – should Hoover be included in the master plan?  Does it require a facilities assessment and ADA transition plan, for example?  Or is there some reduced scope of assessment for Hoover?

Hoover will be a reduced scope.  We will include it in Master Plan for vision and capacity.  Edits below to Scope

Scope Should Read:

The Scope of Services includes a variety of master planning activities, such as: Define the vision of the district; facilities assessments of each campus; ADA transition plan (excluding Hoover); deferred maintenance needs and infrastructure assessment of each campus (excluding Hoover); and analysis of enrollment projections (projections provided by others); individual site master plans for all sites (including Hoover); preliminary cost estimating with professional cost estimator; process preparation,  public input facilitation, documentation, and presentation; and capital improvement plan. The scope of services shall also include meetings, as needed, with the District Facilities staff, site staff, and community groups, District administrators, and work study meetings and presentations to the Board of Trustees.

The Agreement indicates as scope “Assist the District in locating an appropriate piece of land for new facilities if needed.  What activities are expected under this item, in terms of assistance (Visiting a site and discussing impressions?  Preliminary design layout of a new school on the site?)?   Should the fee for this be listed as an optional service, or addressed as an additional service when the scope can be determined?

The intent is to open up the planning to look at all options for enrollment growth including the potential in locating appropriate land for a school or district office.

Please include hours in your fee break down sections:

  • Preliminary cost estimating with professional cost estimator
  • Define the vision of the district; Process preparation, public input facilitation, documentation, and presentation; meetings; Analysis of enrollment projections (projections provided by others)

Exhibit A references a Program Manager or Construction Manager for the project.  Will the District use the services of consultant as a Program or Construction Manager for the Master Plan?  What would their role include?

EXHIBIT "A" RESPONSIBILITIES AND SERVICES OF CONSULTANT

The district is currently implementing a bond program, and has a Program Manager (PM) in place.  The scope of the reference in Exhibit A is to make Master Planning firms aware of the existing program.  The district does not plan to hire a CM to assist with the master plan process.

Is the supplemental sample master plan document (Section III.C) a separate document that accompanies our submittal or included in the total 50 page limit (Section III.A)?

The District feels strongly that the more robust the public process is, the better the project outcome will be. Staff at all BSD schools are working with Architects to develop the Schematic Designs for Site improvements.  In addition our design team at BIS is working on modernization of the BIS Media Center. The District is inviting you to attend these evening meetings focused on Schematic Design of the proposed improvements and BIS Media Center.

Schematic Design: Is the first phase in the design of a project where the project team prepares initial diagrams and drawings giving a general view of the components and the scale of the project after detailed discussions with the BSD staff and the community.

These Public Input Meetings are the community's opportunity to contribute to the design. There will be additional public presentations on the progress of these designs to the Board of Trustees.

If you are unable to attend these meetings and would like to submit input, please send your comments to the District's Director of Facilities, Tim Ryan at [email protected] or (650) 259-3913.

The intent of these School Site Improvement projects and their associated budgets, is to repair possible tripping hazards and drainage issues on walkways and blacktop; and to develop the layout for the playground and game court striping.

At the BIS Meeting there will be discussion of the Library and Science Classroom building and adjacent courtyards.  And how a school library can support a 21st Century education.

HAA was awarded a contract by the governing board September 10, 2013 to design this project.  Subsequently we held 15 design meetings with District Administrators, including all District school principals, the BIS PTA, two (2) Public Input Meetings, two (2) with the Board of Trustees, the school principal, two (2) meetings with all BIS Staff, and finally six (6) Site Design Committee meetings made up of 3 teachers, the BIS Principal, 2 parents, and the Director of Facilities.   From all the information gathered in those sessions, HAA developed Schematic Design and budgets that were approved by the board on January 14, 2014, and a Design Development Package and budgets approved by the Board March 25, 2014 

At the June 10, 2014 Regular Board meeting, the governing board approved construction documents.  After that action by the board HAA submitted these drawings to the Division of the State Architect for review, potential revisions and approvals.  Below is the current anticipated schedule.
