The Board adopt and approve the Second Addendum to the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Mills High School Athletics Complex Project. |
The San Mateo Union High School District proposes to relocate and improve a number of athletics facilities at the Mills High School campus, located at 400 Murchison Drive in Millbrae, California (“Mills High School Athletics Complex Project” or “Project”). The improved and relocated facilities would include the tennis courts, softball/soccer field, baseball field, and multi-use field. All of the new fields would have artificial turf and lighting and public address systems would be added to the softball/soccer field and baseball field. In addition, lighting would be added to the existing swimming pools, practice field, and some of the new tennis courts. The total affected area would be around 11.41 acres. Further to the requirements contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the Board of Trustees (“Board”) at a duly noticed meeting on October 22, 2020, adopted Resolution 20-21-06 adopting and approving the Final Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (“IS/MND”) (SCH 2020059026), the Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (“MMRP”) and approving the Project, subject to implementation of the mitigation measures in the MMRP. On November 2, 2020, the District filed a Notice of Determination with the County of San Mateo Clerk and State Clearinghouse as required under CEQA. On May 12, 2021, the District filed with the County of San Mateo and State Clearinghouse a First Addendum to the IS/MND concerning minor adjustments to the lighting plan for the project.
SECOND ADDENDUM TO IS/MND
The IS/MND includes a Tree Protection, Planting, Removal and Replacement Plan. An arborist report was prepared and determined the following:
96 trees are located on the Mills campus. The Project would protect 76 trees, transplant 18 trees, replace 32 trees, and remove 20 trees. Thirty-two new trees would be planted and 20 removed as part of the project, resulting in a net increase of 12 trees.
The current project proposes minor modifications to the site plan described in the IS/MND that would result in the removal of eight additional trees (see Attachment 1 to the Second Addendum). Five of the eight trees are part of a larger group of trees previously proposed for removal. No other changes to the project would occur. Additional analysis has been conducted on the potential impact of this tree removal on aesthetics and biological resources.
The results of this analysis conclude that the impacts on visual quality would be less than significant and that neither new nor substantially more severe biological resource impacts would occur from the proposed modifications. The removal of the eight additional trees would not substantially alter impacts previously identified in the adopted IS/MND for the project. Mitigation measures included in the adopted IS/MND also would apply to removal of these trees and would reduce any impacts to be mitigated to less-than-significant level.
The conclusions of the Second Addendum remain consistent with those made in the IS/MND. No new significant impacts have been identified, nor is the severity of newly identified impacts
substantially greater than those evaluated in the IS/MND. Based upon the evidence included in the Second Addendum, the proposed modifications to the project would not result in a substantial change in the conclusions and analysis included in the IS/MND, and the Second Addendum is the appropriate level of additional CEQA review. The Second Addendum is attached and has been reviewed and approved by special counsel.

The Project will be funded by Measure L bond funds. |

The Board adopt and approve the Addendum to the Final Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Capuchino High School Athletics Complex Project. |
The San Mateo Union High School District proposes to relocate and improve a number of athletics facilities at the Capuchino High School campus, located at 1501 Magnolia Avenue, San Bruno (“Capuchino High School Athletics Complex Project” or “Project”). The improved facilities would include a new softball/soccer field, baseball field, practice and ancillary field facilities. All of the new fields would have artificial turf and lighting and public address systems would be added to the softball/soccer field and baseball field. In addition, lighting would be added to the existing swimming pool complex. One of the eight existing tennis courts would be eliminated to provide space for Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance. Further to the requirements contained in the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), the Board of Trustees (“Board”) at a duly noticed meeting on October 8, 2020, adopted Resolution 20-21-07 adopting and approving the Final Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration (“IS/MND”) (SCH 2020059018), the Mitigation Monitoring Reporting Program (“MMRP”) and approving the Project, subject to implementation of the mitigation measures in the MMRP. On November 2, 2020, the District filed a Notice of Determination with the County of San Mateo Clerk and State Clearinghouse as required under CEQA. ADDENDUM TO IS/MND
The IS/MND includes a Tree Protection, Planting, Removal and Replacement Plan. An arborist report was prepared and determined the following:
There are seven trees located in and around the project area. Up to two trees may be removed as a result of the project, one of them being recommended for removal due to its poor condition and the other because of a conflict with the project design. Six trees would be transplanted, and thirteen existing trees would be protected. Fifty-seven new trees would be planted as part of the project, resulting in a net increase of 55 trees.
The current project proposes minor modifications to the site plan described in the IS/MND that would result in the removal of three additional trees (see Attachment 1 to the Addendum). No other changes to the project would occur. The results of this analysis conclude that overall there was no significant change in visual impact from the project improvements, including tree removal, and no new or substantially more severe biological resource impacts would occur from the proposed project. The removal of the three additional trees would not substantially alter impacts previously identified in the adopted IS/MND for the project. Mitigation measures included in the adopted IS/MND also would apply to removal of these trees and would reduce any impacts to a less-than-significant level.
The conclusions of the Addendum remain consistent with those made in the IS/MND. No new significant impacts have been identified, nor is the severity of newly identified impacts substantially greater than those evaluated in the IS/MND. Based upon the evidence included in the Addendum, the proposed project would not result in a substantial change in the conclusions and analysis included in the IS/MND, and the Addendum is the appropriate level of additional CEQA review. The Addendum is attached has been reviewed and approved by special counsel. |
The Project will be funded by Measure L bond funds. |

Recommend the Board hold a public hearing to receive community input regarding the content of the draft trustee area maps. |
The San Mateo Union High School District Board of Trustees is currently elected under an “at-large” election system, where trustees are elected by voters of the entire District. Trustees are elected in even-numbered years and serve staggered, four-year terms, such that the next election for three (3) trustees is scheduled for November 2022, with the remaining trustee seats scheduled for election in November 2024. On February 25, 2021, the Board adopted Resolution 20-21-12, declaring its intent to transition from at-large to by-trustee area elections, where each Board member must reside within the designated trustee area boundary, and is elected only by the voters in that trustee area. On August 26 and September 9, 2021, the District Board held two public hearings to receive input from the community on the trustee-area map creation process, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010, subdivision (a)(1).
On January 13, 2022, four (4) proposed trustee area maps were published on the District’s website for public consumption: https://www.smuhsd.org/Page/13739. On January 20, 2022, the District’s demographers, the National Demographics Corporation, will present information on the trustee area creation process and proposed trustee area maps. Following the presentation, the first of two statutorily required public hearings will be held to receive input from the community, pursuant to Elections Code section 10010, subdivision (a)(2).

It is recommended that the Board: award the lease-leaseback delivery of the Project to BHM Construction, Inc. as the “best value” lease-leaseback contractor under the RFQ/P, and authorize the Superintendent or his designee to negotiate the proposed terms of the Lease-Leaseback Documents for Board consideration and approval at a duly noticed meeting. |
On November 18, 2021, the Board of Trustees authorized issuance of a Request for Qualifications/Request for Proposals for Lease-Leaseback Construction Services for the Project (“RFQ/P”) further to the requirements in Education Code Section 17406. The RFQ/P provides that the District and the Lease-Leaseback general contractor will enter into the following documents necessary for lease-leaseback delivery of the Project: (1) Site Lease Agreement, (2) Facilities Lease Agreement, (3) Guaranteed Maximum Price Construction Services Agreement, and (4) General Conditions (collectively the “Lease-Leaseback Documents”). The Project as described in the RFQ/P consists of the following construction elements:
Encapsulation of the existing transite panels in Buildings 100-400 with new acrylic plaster cladding and storefront systems on exterior walls. Interior exposed transite panels will be encapsulated by constructing metal stud framed infill between existing columns.
The District, through its construction management consultant Greystone West, issued the RFQ/P that was advertised in the Daily Journal on December 2 and 8, 2021. On December 21, 2021, the District received three (3) proposals from pre-qualified general contractors in response to the RFQ/P: Beals Martin, Rodan Builders, Inc. and BHM Construction Inc. (“BHM”). The proposals were evaluated by the District’s selection committee using “best value” criteria identified in the RFQ/P, including, but not limited to, experience, financial performance and stability, safety record, technical expertise, and price (in the form of a preliminary guaranteed maximum price covering bonds and insurance, general conditions, contractor fee and pre-construction services (the “Preliminary GMP”)). The selection committee interviewed and scored the top two (2) proposers. The evaluation matrix showing BHM as the “best value” contractor is attached.
BHM, which had submitted the second lowest cost proposal for their Preliminary GMP in the amount of $1,573,840 received the highest total “best value” score and the selection committee determined its proposal was the “best value” for lease-leaseback delivery of the Project.
The District and BHM will have no contractual obligations related to lease-leaseback delivery of the Project until such time as the District and BHM enter into the Lease-Leaseback Documents. In addition, the provisions in the RFQ/P will remain in full force and effect until the Lease-Leaseback Documents are executed by the District and BHM. Staff anticipates the Board will consider approval of the forms of the Lease-Leaseback Documents at the February meeting. Staff also anticipates it will ask the Board to consider approval to issue a Notice to Proceed for pre-construction services at the February meeting.
The construction budget for the Project is $16.28 million and BHM’s proposed final GMP for construction services pricing will be finalized once the California Division of State Architect has approved the plans for the Project, which is expected to be in April. Staff anticipates the Board will consider approval of the final GMP and authorize issuance of the Notice to Proceed for construction services at the May meeting. CEQA Compliance: The Project has undergone review and approval under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). The Board at the October 14, 2021, meeting approved the filing of the Notice of Exemption for the Project (SCH# 2021110163) (the “NOE”) and approved the Project. |

The selection committee interviewed and scored the top three (3) proposers. The evaluation matrix showing Coulter Construction as the “best value” contractor is attached.
Coulter Construction, which had submitted the lowest cost proposal for their Preliminary GMP in the amount of $1,352,939 received the highest total “best value” score and the selection committee determined its proposal was the “best value” for lease-leaseback delivery of the Project.
The District and Coulter Construction will have no contractual obligations related to lease-leaseback delivery of the Project until such time as the District and Coulter Construction enter into the Lease-Leaseback Documents. In addition, the provisions in the RFQ/P will remain in full force and effect until the Lease-Leaseback Documents are executed by the District and Coulter Construction Staff anticipates the Board will consider approval of the forms of the Lease-Leaseback Documents at the February meeting. Staff also anticipates it will ask the Board to consider approval to issue a Notice to Proceed for pre-construction services at the February meeting.
The construction budget for the Project is $12.97 million and Coulter’s proposed final GMP for construction services pricing will be finalized once the California Division of State Architect has approved the plans for the Project, which is expected to be in April. Staff anticipates the Board will consider approval of the final GMP and authorize issuance of the Notice to Proceed for construction services at the May meeting.
CEQA Compliance: The Project has undergone review and approval under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”). The Board at the October 14, 2021, meeting approved the filing of the Notice of Exemption for the Project (SCH# 2021110162) (the “NOE”) and approved the Project.

The Project will be funded by Measure L bond funds. |

It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the selection of Quattrocchi Kwok Architects to provide architectural services for the Burlingame High School and San Mateo High School Gymnasium Projects and authorize the Superintendent or the Superintendent’s designee to negotiate the proposed terms of the architectural services agreement for Board consideration and approval at a duly noticed meeting. |
On November 2, 2021, a Request for Proposals was issued to the District’s five approved pool of architects for Measure L Projects. All pool architects submitted proposals and the selection committee reviewed the proposals and interviewed representatives of each of the pool architects. The selection committee determined that Quattrocchi Kwok Architects was the “best value” architectural firm to provide architectural services for the District’s Gymnasium projects at Burlingame and San Mateo High Schools. The projects are slated for construction during 2023-2024 and have an established DSA submittal date of November 4, 2022. Staff desires to commence contract negotiations with Quattrocchi Kwok Architects as the “best value” architectural firm as soon as possible to maintain the schedules for the projects. Staff expects to bring the architectural services agreement for Board of Trustees consideration and approval at either the February 10, 2022 or February 24, 2022 regularly scheduled meeting.

Approve the Memorandum of Understanding and Side Letters between the California School Employees Association, Chapter 519 (CSEA) and the San Mateo Union High School District, as contained in the attachment. |
The District requests the Board of Trustees approve the Memorandum of Understanding and Side Letters between the California School Employees Association, Chapter 519 (CSEA) and the San Mateo Union High School District regarding: - Increasing the MOU for eligible CSEA classifications to work from home from fifteen (15) days to forty-five (45) days for the remainder of the 2021-2022 school year. At the start of the school year, many classified employees had compelling reasons to work from home. As the new calendar year began, many of these reasons have continued. In general, this working from home option has been beneficial. It has allowed many employees continue working through difficult situations related to the pandemic that would have required them to take several days off and miss work if not for the WFH option. Given the fact that the WFH option was utilized across the District and prevented work stoppages, we would like to extend it to up to 45-days in total for the 2021-22 school year.
- Side Letter - Temporary reduction of hours for a 1.0 FTE Mental Health Therapist at Aragon High School by 15 hours per week for a total of 22.5 hours per week (.6 FTE) for the spring semester of the 2021-2022 school year. These hours will be restored to 37.5 hours per week in the 2022-2023 school year.
- Side Letter - Temporary reduction of hours for a 1.0 FTE Mental Health Therapist - TUPE Program at the District Office by7.5 hours per week for a total of 30 hours per week (.8 FTE) for the spring semester of the 2021-2022 school year. These hours will be restored to 37.5 hours per week in the 2022-2023 school year.

That the Board approves Resolution No. 21-22-18 Designating a Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee for Measure L and Measure O and Approving Amended and Restated Bylaws Therefore. |
On March 3, 2020, a measure for the issuance of general obligation bonds of the San Mateo Union High School District (“District”) in the amount of $385,000,000 (“Measure L”) was approved by more than 55% of the voters voting on Measure L. Education Code Section 15278 provides that the governing board of a school district shall establish and appoint members to an independent citizens’ oversight committee. The Board of Trustees previously established an independent citizens’ bond oversight committee (“Committee”) in connection with issuance of bonds under its Measure M and Measure O. All of the Measure M bond funds have been fully expended and the role of the Committee in regards thereto has ended. The instant Resolution expands the role of the original the Measure M and Measure O Committee to serve as the Committee for both Measure O and Measure L, amends and restates the Bylaws for the Committee to make them applicable to Measure L and Measure O, and rescinds the previous Bylaws of the Committee. |
Because the Education Code prohibits the use of bond funds for the support of a Bond Oversight Committee, there may be a fiscal impact to the General Fund resulting from the District’s support of the Committee. |
