IV. Action Agenda
IV.A. RFP for Architect Services
Rationale

Attached please find a memo from our Director of Finance and Human Resources, Mrs. Jennifer Pierce, regarding an RFP for architectural services.

In order to be in compliance with 702 KAR 4:160 Section 4 we advertised for architectural services utilizing the Kentucky Department of Education's Request for Proposal form.  We received two proposal packages which are attached.  

Based on our review of the proposals and level of satisfaction with our current vendor we recommend that the board accept the RFP submitted by Robert Ehmet Hayes and Associates, PLLC.  

 

Actions Taken

Order #23-10188 - Motion Passed:  Superintendent Buerkley's recommendation to accept the RFP for Architect Services passed with a motion by Mrs. Amber Beebe and a second by Mr. Kevin Barnard.

IV.B. BG1--Sharp Middle School Project
Rationale

Attached is the BG-1 (23-321) for the Sharp Middle School project. All BG-1s must be approved by the local board and the minutes or an “order” from the board minutes must be available upon request by KDE. The BG-1 is then sent to the Kentucky Department of Education, District Facilities Branch for review and approval.  Once approved by the Facilities Branch it is then forwarded to the Finance Branch for review.  Once final approval is given, the district will receive a letter documenting approval and next steps.

I would recommend approval of the BG-1 for the Sharp Middle School project.  

Actions Taken

Order #23-10189 - Motion Passed:  Superintendent Buerkley's recommendation to accept the BG1 passed with a motion by Mr. Kevin Barnard and a second by Mrs. Laura Schack.

IV.C. STAR Assessment
Rationale

Attached is a memo from our Executive Director of Teaching and Learning, Mrs. Laura Pugh, regarding the purchase of Renaissance Learning STAR Assessment for the high school.

We have been using the Renaissance Learning STAR Assessment to monitor student progress and predict student performance on the state assessment in grades K-8.  Changes to the accountability system show a need for this assessment at the high school level.   STAR has provided a quote of $9440.50 that will allow the high school to utilize the assessment for the remaining part of this school year and all of the 2023-2024 school year.

I would recommend the board approve the purchase of Renaissance Learning STAR assessment for Pendleton County High School.

Actions Taken

Order #23-10190 - Motion Passed:  Superintendent Buerkley's recommendation to accept the purchase of the STAR assessment for PHS passed with a motion by Mrs. Laura Schack and a second by Mr. Kevin Barnard.
