Fair Share amounts are reviewed and updated periodically or on an annual basis based upon the attached agreed upon methodology.  Resolution No. 16/17-36 approves the current Fair Share School Impact Mitigation Payment Adjustment Analysis prepared by the District’s financial services consultant, Cooperative Strategies, for calendar year 2017.  The District last updated the Fair Share amounts in July 2015.

The District has notified developers participating in Fair Share Mitigation Agreements of this proposed adjustment to the Fair Share amounts, and the public has been provided an opportunity to comment.

The proposal is being presented this evening for public hearing and acknowledgment of receipt by the Governing Board.

The proposal is being presented this evening for public hearing and adoption by the Governing Board.

On December 1, 2016, the District released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for new fiber-based wide area network and dedicated Internet services.  Proposals were accepted until January 23, 2017, at which time the responses were opened and rated.  Based on the evaluation criteria outlined in the RFP documents, Time Warner Cable Business LLC was the lowest cost responsive bidder.

The new agreement would be for a three year term, July 1, 2017, through June 30, 2020.  This agreement provides the District the flexibility and pricing to increase connection speeds between school sites and the Internet as needed, throughout the entire contract period.  Initially, the connection between all school sites and the Administrative Center will remain at the current speed of 1Gbps, while the connection between the Administrative Center and the Internet will remain at the current speed of 5Gbps.  Staff plans to increase these speeds to 10Gbps for all connections in June of 2018 to stay ahead of the pace of increased bandwidth usage.

The agreement initially decreases the cost of services by $17,325 per month, lowering the annual services total from $491,088 to $283,188.  Once the connection speeds are increased in June of 2018, the annual services total would increase to approximately $596,088.  An agreement addendum will be brought before the Board before such changes are initiated.  These services are eligible for federal e-rate reimbursement, which is based on free and reduced lunch percentages. Pending an annual e-rate funding approval, the District would be reimbursed approximately 50 percent of the annual costs for these services.

Staff will be purchasing the liner, pad, and artificial turf directly from Astroturf through TCPN to reduce overhead costs that are typically charged on construction projects. To match the artificial turf at the District’s four other high school fields, staff requested TCPN proposals from Astroturf. The attached TCPN proposals were received for the following cost:

Golden Valley High School:  $663,775

West Ranch High School:     $663,775

Staff has reviewed the proposals from Astroturf and finds the proposals meet all criteria required per the District’s artificial turf specifications. Staff is requesting the Board to approve the procurement and installation of the liner, pad, and artificial turf from Astroturf using their TCPN Contract No. R5175.

$663,775 from Community Facilities District (CFD) 2015-1 (Fund 49.2)

West Ranch High School

$663,775 from CFD 2006-1 (Fund 49.9)

Request approval of Fee Amendment No. 1 for Division of the State Architect (DSA) inspection services from Ninyo & Moore for the Saugus High School Auditorium Project.

At the April 20, 2016, Board Meeting, the Board approved a proposal for DSA inspection services from Ninyo & Moore for the Saugus High School Auditorium Project. That initial proposal was for a total of $263,154. DSA requires the District to hire an independent DSA approved materials testing laboratory for materials inspection and testing. Additionally, DSA requires geotechnical and grading works be tested and observed. These guidelines are in place to assure that construction is consistent with the approved DSA plans and specifications.

The additional cost in this fee amendment was anticipated early in the project and is included in the total project budget. The initial proposal was based on preliminary schedule information before the contractor had developed a detailed steel fabrication schedule. This shortfall was apparent in Ninyo & Moore’s initial proposal since it was well below the actual materials testing cost for the Canyon High School Auditorium Project, a similar project completed in 2016. The actual cost for materials testing for the Canyon High School Auditorium Project was just under $400,000. The total cost for materials testing for this project, with Fee Amendment No. 1 (if approved), will be similar to the total cost for materials testing for the Canyon High School Auditorium Project.

$129,790 from Measure SA (Fund 21). This increase had already been anticipated in the total project budget.

Attached is a proposal from an inspection company, Ninyo & Moore, that performs DSA in-plant inspections of these types of buildings.  Staff recommends approval of this proposal for $159,240.

Request approval to award Bid No. BO17-02A to the lowest responsive bidder, Leonida Builders, Inc., for the Bowman High School Bridge Addition and Fire Alarm Modifications Project.

In order to close out the Bowman High School Portable Classroom and Office Building Project with the Division of the State Architect, the District must add a new pedestrian bridge and add fire alarm components in several classrooms at the school. Three contractors attended the mandatory job walk on March 9th and one contractor submitted a bid on March 28th. District staff and Flewelling & Moody, the architect, recommend the award of this contract to Leonida Builders, Inc., the lowest responsive bidder. There were no other bids submitted for this project.

$95,000 from Capital Facilities Fund (25.0).

Award Bid No. BO17-02A to the lowest responsive bidder, Leonida Builders, Inc., for the Bowman High School Bridge Addition and Fire Alarm Modifications Project for $95,000.

Request approval of Fee Amendment No. 4 from Ruhnau Ruhnau Clarke for County required changes to street lighting plans for the Castaic High School Project.

The architect had submitted street lighting plans to the County based on County standards at the time of plan submittal. However, the County revised their design guidelines after the architect’s plan submittal. The County now intends to own, operate, and maintain their own street light facilities rather than their past practice of going through Southern California Edison for this. This change in direction by the County could not have been anticipated and will require the architect and engineers on the project to prepare new electrical plans and re-start the submittal process to the County. The architect (and their consulting engineers) is requesting additional fees to complete the new lighting design and to complete the submittal process with the County.

Request approval of Division of the State Architect (DSA) materials testing services from Geo-Advantec, Inc., for the Bowman High School Bridge Addition and Fire Alarm Modifications Project.

The DSA requires the District to hire an independent DSA approved materials testing laboratory for materials inspection and testing of public school projects. Staff received a proposal for materials testing services from Geo-Advantec, Inc., for the construction of the cast-in-place pedestrian bridge and ramps at Bowman High School. Staff requests approval of this proposal from Geo-Advantec, Inc.

$5,177 from the Capital Facilities Fund (Fund 25).

Approve Division of the State Architect materials testing services proposal from Geo-Advantec, Inc., for the Bowman High School Bridge Addition and Fire Alarm Modifications Project.

It is the responsibility of the Project Inspector (PI) to perform tasks required by the DSA and the District such as performing periodic inspections of the work, advising the contractor of nonconforming work, keeping accurate records, and certifying that the completed work has been done in accordance with the DSA approved plans and specifications. DSA requires the District to employ a DSA inspector for this project.

On June 15, 2016, the Governing Board approved an initial proposal from McCarthy Inspection Services, Inc. The initial proposal included DSA inspection services for both the new portable classroom and portable office building assuming that the sitework and installation of the two buildings would be done concurrently. Fee Amendment No. 1 was due to the DSA turning the initial project into two separate projects and delaying the approval of the new portable office building. That extended the schedule and the time necessary to provide the required inspection for the project. Fee Amendment No. 2 will cover the inspection required for the new cast-in-place concrete pedestrian bridge and ramps and modifications to the fire alarm system. Staff plans to complete the work this summer.
