BERKELEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT TO: Donald Evans, Ed.D., Superintendent FROM: Timothy White, Director of Facilities DATE: February 28, 2018 SUBJECT: Facilities Master Plan Request for Proposal PURPOSE: To provide a vision for the Facilities of Berkley Unified School District as a basis for development of a project list for a 2020 General Obligation Bond measure. BACKGROUND: A Facilities Master Plan will provide an analysis of existing building systems including electrical/low voltage, mechanical/plumbing, roofing/waterproofing, building envelope, building finishes, classrooms, site elements and accessibility components. A Facilities Condition Index for each of the sites with reference to remaining useful life of systems and costs to repair/replace systems will be developed. Community outreach will include meetings with District staff, school meetings with the community and the staff at District school sites. Educational Program needs will be assessed for each site to ensure facilities meet educational adequacy. A plan will be developed for all elementary, middle and high schools, administration, maintenance and future housing locations. Planning will include completion of District’s Solar Master Plan remaining installations, updated furniture and equipment for each site and integrate Sustainability practices consistent with Board-adopted Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS). Proposals will be submitted by the end of March. Once a consultant is selected and approved by the Board of Education, we anticipate having a completed report by Fall 2018. RECOMMENDATION/QUESTIONS FOR THE BOARD: Approve staff to issue a Facilities Master Plan Request for Proposal. NEXT STEPS: Request for Proposal will be issued by Facilities Department March 1st. FISCAL IMPACT No fiscal impact. RELATED PAST BOARD ITEMS Not applicable.
