General Renovation

  • The General Renovation sub-group is responsible for addressing existing building deficiencies at DPS facilities. This request primarily includes Interior surfaces, finishes, and building structures.

  • This category of projects will support renovations to DPS facilities by updating existing deteriorated building conditions.

  • This General Renovation package represents a concerted effort to move toward a more proactive (i.e. less reactive) state of operations for Facilities Management

  • The project scopes may represent renovations to portions of systems at select locations.

  • The major categories of renovations prioritized include
    • Floors
    • Lavoratories
    • Locker rooms
    • Paint

Data for Ashley Elementary

*For more information on quartiles, see appendix

  • Cooling all 55 buildings would cost a minimum of $262 million (classroom only)
  • Restrictions are:
    • Limited funding
    • Experienced labor and material resources are limited and in high demand
    • Construction window limited to summers only

Additional costs for Classroom Only

  • If we decide for Classroom Only today, there will be a time in the future when we will go back to each of the 24 buildings to cool the remainder of the spaces
  • There are additional costs this will incur, mostly due to engineering and mobilizing at each of the 24 sites twice.

  • Which will total an estimated additional $17.6 million for 24 buildings if we do Classroom Only now.
  • This does not include the cost of inflation

Review of Critical Maintenance

25 of 48

Critical Maintenance Option Review

Option #1: Mechanical, Electrical, & Plumbing (MEP) Focus

  • Focuses on deficiencies that are typically more expensive to repair/replace, are more likely to close a building if they fail, require higher design cost and time, and have a greater lead time for components.
  • Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing systems have significant needs and costs so proactively addressing these deficiencies reduces risk of failure and any resulting emergency situation for maintenance teams.
  • More holistic improvements at the system level which allows for greater economies of scale and consistency within a building.

Total Project Costs:

Critical Maintenance Option Review

Option #2: All Systems

  • Focuses on addressing all critical deficiencies from any system at a property included in the Base List, providing more holistic improvements to DPS properties.
  • Interior, Shell, and Site/Civil system issues will not be left to be handled by maintenance teams.
  • More critical issues addressed at each property.

Pandemic Funding Reduction Scenario: Prioritization Approach & Options

34

35 of 48

Context

  • Board may consider smaller bond ask due to economic impact of pandemic
  • Preparing for potential 10% reduction across all CPAC groups to give the Board options to consider
  • We are not recommending any reductions from Code requirements

35

36 of 48

General Renovation

  • The proposed reduction to the general renovation bucket would have the following impact
    • Reduce the scope of work for all paint projects targeted
    • Projects currently receiving the largest sums would receive the largest cuts
    • Project scopes at a significantly lower percent
      • Changes outlined below

Heat Mitigation

  • A 10% reduction to the Heat Mitigation bucket would reduce the bucket size from $130 million to $117 million
    • Sabin and Denison would be removed from the list

Critical Maintenance: Scenario Planning

Option #1: Mechanical, Electrical, & Plumbing (MEP) Focus

Using Building Condition Index (BCI) as the primary means of prioritization, a 10% reduction to the Critical Maintenance bucket would have the following impact on Option #1: MEP Systems Focus:

  • Bucket size decreases from $134 million to $120 million
  • Projected Project Costs decrease from $131,968,243 to $120,660,681
  • Buildings Impacted decreases from 136 to 74

Life / Safety – Ability for School to Safely Operate

3x

Critical Maintenance/ Facility

Does not impact safety

Addresses a life / safety concern that is low priority and does not impact the school’s ability to operate

Addresses a life / safety concern that is a medium priority due to the risk of impacting a school’s ability to operate

Addresses critical safety violation that directly risks a school’s ability to operate

Code or ADA

Does not impact code or ADA

Addresses a low priority code or ADA issue under which DPS has no obligations and presents no negative impacts to students

Addresses a low or medium priority code or ADA issue under which DPS has no obligations but remedying would present a positive student impact

Addresses a high priority code or ADA issue in which DPS has an obligation to remedy the issue and/or would significantly improve the student experience

Student Safety

Does not impact student safety

The project improves student safety (Nice to have)

Project expands existing student safety investment that is working and/or invests in piloting new work

Project will bring DPS facilities into compliance with evolving standards for student safety

Supporting Value of Equity

2x

The school has an equity index <0.5

Equity index between 0.5-1.0

Equity index between 1.0-1.5

Equity index > 1.5

Aligned with Instructional Priorities

2x

The project does not impact instruction and academics

The project will improve the student learning environment

The project improves the learning environment and supports new/different instruction

The project directly supports instruction and will support student learning

Time Sensitivity

1x

The project can wait for a future capital request without negatively impacting student experience

The project can wait for a future capital request but would positively impact student experience

The project would enhance the student experience in the near term and/or there is a risk of future cost being significantly higher beyond the rate of construction inflation

The project cannot wait for future funding and the district will fund elsewhere if not from premium to the detriment of other district funded programs

43 of 48

Approach to Equity

Equity Index

43

As prioritization was evaluated, we considered a method to evaluate district-wide equity and equality through an Equity Index that defines a baseline for ALL schools/programs with greater rigor beyond family income.

Student Equity-  Providing the resources that students need for success. For measuring student equity, we used the following index:

School % High Poverty + %English Learner + %SPED +%Volatility

District Average % High Poverty + %English Learner + %SPED +%Volatility

This is in line with how DPS allocates student-based funding.

What is the Data?

  • District average Equity Index (EI) is 1.0
  • You can read an EI of 1.1 as that school having 10% above average population of students with greater needs. An EI of 0.7 indicates that school has 30% smaller than average population of harder-to-serve students.
