d. MinutesJesse Bacon

e. Construction ItemsDanny Clemens
1. BEHS Fine Arts Addition- Change Order 1- Technology and AV Bid PackageDanny Clemens
Following discussion with the Board post-bid as well as the discussion at the February 5th Work Session- we are presenting the Technology and AV Change Order with Business Cabling and ADT performing work documented in the Bid Package #3 Construction Documents.  This is a change order to the General Construction contract with EH Construction.  The other submitted pricing options are also attached for Board reference.  Option 1C is the one that supports Change Order 1.
2. BEHS Fine Arts Addition- Change Order 2- Demolition of Existing Utility PoleDanny Clemens

An existing utility pole needed to be removed to install the new 8" water main for the Fine Arts project.  Work needed to commence ahead of formal board approval to allow the schedule to continue as required for campus traffic and building phasing.  Work was approved by District Leadership due to the value being below the $7,500 threshold.  Additional details are reflected in the attached RFI #2.

 

3. FACPAC Revised BG-1 SKA 2-8-2024Danny Clemens

The BEHS Fine Arts Addition BG1 has been updated to include the re-bid final numbers.  The bid came in better than budgeted, so total construction and architect fees went down accordingly.  The Technology value from Construction and put into the Contingency.

 

4. Bernheim Middle School- Change Order 6- Art Room Sink
Bernheim's administration requested new sinks be added to the Art room in lieu of reusing the existing wall hung sinks.  To match other art room renovations the design team specified stainless steel commercial tub sinks.  Work can commence with trades already on site and avoid the added cost of mobilization and general conditions. 
5. Bernheim Middle School - Change Order 7 - Concrete Pad Removal Art ClosetDanny Clemens

There is an existing slab that was installed for a demolished heat pump in the mechanical closet within the Art Room.  There is no heat pump going back into that closet and it would be a more useful space if the pad is removed to allow shelving for storage.  

 

6. Bernheim Middle School - DPO 8 IMI CreditDanny Clemens
Calhoun currently has a DPO in place for IMI Concrete.  However, over the holidays their plant shut down and Calhoun had to use Ernst to complete their scheduled concrete pours.  This is a net zero change to the Contract Value.  An alternate concrete vendor was utilized due to plant closures.  This Credits the IMI DPO and adds the value to Ernst Concrete's DPO 40.
7. Old Mill Elementary School - Bid Package #3 DPO ReconciliationDanny Clemens
This is a Change Order Credit of $708.44 for unbilled material under District Purchase Order (DPO).
8. Central Office Cost Estimation & Preliminary Planning Services- Architectural Services ProposalTroy Wood

I am requesting the Board's approval for the services of Studio Kremer Architects for the preliminary planning of the new construction of a Central Office or renovation/addition to the existing facility.

The submittal of this effort will include cost estimates for the various scenarios listed and a speculative programming floor plan that indicated building size.

Studio Kremer will provide services on an hourly basis at a rate of $175/hour, with travel costs being included in this rate.  It is estimated this effort will take between 30-50 hours to complete, maximum cost of $8,750.00.  

9. Bernheim Renovations- Test and Balance ContractorDanny Clemens

Attached are three proposals for Test and Balance Services for the Bernheim Middle School renovation. This scope of work includes testing and  balancing the HVAC geothermal and domestic water systems.  This work is critical for the proper performance of these systems and will be paid out of construction contingency funds.

The following companies submitted a quote:

Thermal Balance: $25,530

Kahoe Air Balance: $47,540

Synergy Test and Balance $28,813

Scott Balch from CMTA recommends the use of Thermal Balance for the Bernheim Middle School project since they are the lowest bidder. 

10. Freedom Elementary - Small Wall AdditionDanny Clemens

Freedom Elementary is requesting to have built a 8 X 6.5 ft wall partition in room #17.  This room is currently labeled as A/V Storage for the library.  This is a long narrow room that they want to divide in order to create a fully functioning sensory room for students who require this service as part of their educational opportunities.  They intend to use half of this room for preschool storage and the other half (with a door leading to the hall) as a sensory room.

The approximate cost for this partition would be $400.00 and will be paid for by the school. 

11. Maryville Elementary Washer and Dryer InstallationDanny Clemens
Maryville Elementary is requesting installation of a Washer and Dryer at the school.  The installation parts are being paid for by the school and the maintenance department will provide labor.
12. HMS- Volleyball Sleeve RequestDanny Clemens
Hebron Middle School is seeking permission to install two volleyball post holes in the gym floor to crest a center court.  This install will allow PE classes to set up and use bleachers; the volleyball team to have a center court, and safely play matches without running into the stage.  The install will be completed by Martin's Flooring simultaneously with the recoating of the gym floor during the summer of 2024.  Martin's Flooring has quoted an install, resurfacing, coating, and new lines, of $5600.  Funding will be through Hebron Middle School's classroom funds and/or athletic account.

j. Permission to Apply for Summer Food Service Program (SFSP)Todd Crumbacker
The Department of School Nutrition Services (SNS) requests permission to apply for and participate in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) during the summer months of 2024.  The SFSP ensures that low-income children continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session.  Free meal are available to all children under the age of 19 years; these meals will be made available at approved SFSP sites in areas with significant concentrations of low-income children.  These sites will be located at various places in these low-income communities, such as schools, parks, recreations centers, churches, etc.  This request for 2024 includes the need for, at minimum, fifteen (15) cook/bakers, two (2) kitchen managers and substitutes on an as-needed basis for no more than 40 days.  Participation in the SFSP benefits other community programs, such as the YMCA of Bullitt County, by providing free meals, thus allowing other program funds to go towards education and enrichment activities.
