1. April 22, 2024 Minutes of Record | |
e. Construction Items | Danny Clemens |
1. Old Mill Elementary School- Additional Site Work | Danny Clemens |
Old Mill Elementary requests the use of contingency funds for the provision of additional landscaping and site work per the attached proposal from Trademark Excavating Company. Added work includes additional crosswalk striping and sod. This work will be completed by the original site contractor who performed work under Redlee's Construction Contract. This work will be completed outside of the open General Construction Contract.

2. BEHS Fine Arts- Change Order #05- Found Condition- Roof Structure and Duct Routing at Resource Room | Danny Clemens |
Presented for request if the addition of Change Order #05- Found Condition- Roof Structure and Duct Routing at Resource Rooms. | |
3. Bernheim Change Order #12- Added Admin Refrigerators | Danny Clemens |
The Bernheim Middle School Administration requested two refrigerators in the Administration suite. This resulted in added electrical work and a credit on omitted casework where the refrigerator would be located. Work can commence with trades already on sire and maintain the current Construction Schedule. | |
Approve as requested. | |
4. Bernheim Change Order #13- Outdoor Classroom Adjustments | Danny Clemens |
The area specified for the Outdoor classroom in the forest area on Bernheim's campus was holding water and long-term drainage was a concern. To address this, the landscape architect, SWT, revised the location of the classroom along with swale locations to have the outdoor classroom drain appropriately. This change order includes both added work and credits due to the location change.
I recommend approval of this request. | |
5. Bernheim Change Order #14- Added CMU Veneer at Cafeteria | Danny Clemens |
The parapet wall is taller than documented in original documents- as a result, the Contractor and Architect recommended the addition of 1-2 courses of the polished CMU block to finish out the wall to the top of the parapet. This maintains the design intent of the front entrance wall along the cafeteria and outdoor eating area. Work can commence with trades already on site and maintain the current construction schedule.
| |
6. Bernheim - Change Order #15- Kitchen Floor Demo and Equipment Labor, Floor Protection | Danny Clemens |
BCPS Facilities and Food Service requested all new quarry tile floor and additional floor protection and labor to move kitchen equipment that is planned to remain.

Work can commence with trades already on site and maintain current Construction Schedule. | |
7. Bernheim Change Order #16- Exposed Ductwork in Flex Room | Danny Clemens |
The ductwork that serves Flex Classroom 105 is in an exposed area- Design Intent Calls for all exposed ductwork to be spiral type that is painted. We asked Calhoun to price the work to replace the insulated square duct with a spiral double wall. Currently Flex Room 1122 has the painted spiral duct. Work involved with this Change Order includes replacement of work already in place, therefore, the Design Team will cover the cost of the labor, overhead and profit and taxes to offset the cost burden to the District. The only added cost to the district is for the spiral duct material and pain as requested with this Change Order. COR 12 include a breakout of costs the Design Team will cover versus Bullitt County. | |

22. Savvas MyView Curriculum | Usher, Howard, Durham |
KRS 158:305 requires each superintendent to select a common comprehensive reading program that is determined by the department to be reliable, valid, and aligned to reading and writing standards required by KRS 158.6453 and outlined in administrative regulation promulgated by the Kentucky Board of Education for all schools, with the consultation of all affected elementary school councils.
When selecting a curriculum for our Highly Qualified Instruction Resource (HQIR), we initiated the process by collecting relevant information. Our student learning department engaged with the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE), consulted with KDE approved HQIR vendors, and participated in virtual training. We then shared our findings with principals and instructional coaches, outlining a list of potential HQIRs and encouraging them to seek feedback from teachers. In the subsequent phase, principals and instructional coaches distributed sample materials to teachers and gathered their input. Finally, the student learning department reconvened with principals and instructional coaches to review two final curriculum options. Each vendor presented their materials, and through a structured feedback process, MyView emerged as the curriculum that best aligned with our district's goals and instructional vision. The attached summary quotes are for our Highly Qualified Instruction Resource Curriculum (HQIR), MyView for all 13 elementary schools. Below outlines the cost per school:
The total cost of the software subscription, system management, assessments, and professional learning is $725,114.44. This cost will be funded through our curriculum, instruction, and assessment budget for the 2024-2025 school year. These quotes have been reviewed by Dinsmore & Shohl, LLP.

j. Indirect Cost Rates | Lisa Lewis |
Enclosed is the 2024-2025 District Indirect Cost Rates for Bullitt County Board of Education.

The non-restricted rate applies to the School Food Service program, ESSER, and GEER grant funding. The restricted rate may be applied to other grants, such as Title I, that exclude expenses for district administrative support. Each local board of education must approve to recover indirect costs. Effective July 1, 2024, the new indirect cost rates will be applied. The rates are as follows:
Non-Restricted Indirect Cost Rate 10.72%
Restricted Indirect Cost Rate 2.03%
I ask that indirect cost rates as provided by KDE be approved.
