5.4.4. BEHS Fine Arts- CO 17 - Miscellaneous Framing and Insulation Revisions
Danny Clemens
Rationale

Miscellaneous framing and insulation changes have been made to account for window placements and finishing of exposed steel structure in areas open to roof structure.  Also- insulation has been added at existing walls to enhance overall envelope thermal performance.  Costs are outlined in the following Change Order Requests (CORs)

COR25- Air Barrier and Spray Foam Insulation at Existing Gym- Closed cell insulation is being added for enhanced thermal performance at existing walls where EFIS finish was removed at exterior gym walls.

COR 26- Added framing a soffit was added along the clerestory wall at the cafeteria commons due to an issue where steel would have obstructed the installation of gypsum wall board finished at the roof above windows.  Addition spray foam insulation was added to enhance thermal performance of the wall.  

COR 27- Walls were added at the Digital Media space to enhance sound isolation.  Existing CMU walls did not extend up to the roof deck that was discovered after the ceilings were removed.  Also, an existing roof leader was found after wall demolition that required a framed chase in the preschool restroom area.

5.4.7. Phase II Athletics- Baseball/Softball Fields (Bid Package No 1)- CO 4
Danny Clemens
Rationale

This Change Order includes costs associated with found conditions during construction as well as plan review comments that were addressed to obtain a site permit.  Change Order requests include the following:

COR 06- BEHS City Review Civil Revisions-$1,231.00- The City of Mt. Washington required site revisions for issuance of permit.  This included increasing the size of storm piping and adding sewer clean outs. 

COR 12- RFP-4 BEHS Site Revisions- $81,580.00- Work was revised to account to unforeseen conditions, one being the condition of the storm pipe between the baseball and football fields, costs include the full replacement of the 30 inch pipe.  Also, ground water was observed at the baseball outfield that required the addition of a French drain to maintain proper drainage under the turf.

COR 13- BEHS Tree Removal- $6,250.00- BCPS Facilities requested additional tree drainage under the turf. 

Attachments
5.4.8. Phase II Athletics- Baseball /Softball Fields (Bid Package No1) CO 5
Danny Clemens
Rationale

Additional site work is needed at North Bullitt's Campus to address storm line elevations and grading.  The General and Site Contractor presented the design team with several requests for information that resulted in redesign of areas of the site.  As a result, some work was able to be omitted, including the sewage ejector pump and areas of road/parking curbing that resulted in credits.  In other areas, additional grading was needed to address an excess of topsoil and yield positive drainage to enlarged detention basins.  Work on site stopped while redesign of site scope was complete, thus, work already completed can remain as installed.  An itemized breakout of added and reduced costs in included in COR-14.  Also included in this change order is a site demolition cost request.  Additional demolition and salvage of scoreboards and commemorative bricks were requested by the sport teams.  Teams will reimburse the District for those costs as determined by BCPS Leadership.  An intemized breakout of added salvage costs in included in the COR-08.

Rationale

5.11. KETS Offer of Assistance
Kevin Fugate
Rationale

We've received our first KETS Offer of FY25.  The first offer is for $135,292 which divides up to almost $12 per student.  Once we get the final offer of assistance this will total about $21 per student.  The final total should be almost $250,000 which the district matches each year.  I ask that we preemptively approve all offers now which will eliminate the need for further approval of the remaining offers thus reducing the time to get the amount in our accounts.  We typically choose to escrow the amount for up to three years.  Our department will continue to use these funds to provide student and teacher devices, data center hardware, networking hardware, and other instructional-related technologies.

5.12.2. Modification of District Property Requests
Rationale

5.12.2.1. Overdale Elementary School Little Library
Danny Clemens
Rationale

Overdale Elementary's first-grade students, teachers, and Family Resource Coordinator are requesting a "Little Mustang Library" book box on Overdale school grounds.  This initiative is a part of their Project Based Learning about neighborhoods and community resources.  Students/staff will partner with the Maryville/Overdale Family Resource Coordinator and Mr. Frank Fugate for this project.  The first-grade students and teachers will create building plans and ideas.  Mr. Fugate will provide installation, and the FRC will assist in promoting the Little Mustang Library by sending out information about the library and providing books as needed.  The projected location of the pantry would be near the school's front parking lot, but the school sign and sidewalk.  Upkeep of the Little Mustang Library's maintenance would be provided by the FRC and community partners.  Approval of this library would not only be an exciting opportunity for Overdale's first grade PBL, but it would also help foster their sense of responsibility and community, as well as promote literacy and family connection by providing free books to the local community so that children may engage in reading with their parents or guardians with no financial burden.

6.2. Request for BCPS BOE to approve resolution to recognize November as National Homeless Youth Awareness Month
Tiffany Reynolds
Rationale

As part of an effort to raise awareness in our community, we would like to request that the BCPS Board of Education adopt the attached resolution in recognition of November as National Homeless Youth Awareness Month.  We believe this can have a positive impact on our families and students that may be facing the hardships in our community and would like to increase awareness of these issues in our community in order to provide support and resources to them as needed.  

Mrs. Tiffany Reynolds serves as our McKinney-vento Liasion for BCPS and she and her team work extremely hard to meet the needs of our students impacted by homelessness.  It is in collaboration with her that I bring this request to you for consideration.  I have included her memo to me and a copy of the resolution for you and the Board of Education to consider approving at the October 28th Board Meeting.  

Attachment: Memo from Tiffany Reynolds regarding the Board Resolution in Recognition of Novembe as National Homeless Youth Awareness Month and fundraiser request to help raise funds to help students that are supported through our McKinney-Vento Program.
