Quick Summary / Abstract:
Superintendent Recommends Approval Javetta Cleveland, Deputy Superintendent
Recommended Motion:
The Board is asked to approve an Architectural Services Agreement with PBK for the NP3 Elementary new construction project.
Rationale:
NP3 Elementary will move from a commercial space to the Paso Verde Interim site once the site is vacated. The Paso Verde Interim site is composed of the oldest building in Natomas Unified, and a conglomeration of aging relocatable classrooms. The 2017 Facilities Master Plan identified the Paso Verde Interim site as the future site of NP3 Elementary. Staff applied for rehabilitation funding for the NP3 Elementary project through the Charter School Facilities Program and was awarded $2,859,829. In order to utilize this grant award, the project must have full approval from both the Division of State Architect and the California Department of Education plan approval by February of 2022. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued to the Board approved Pool of Architects on November 25, 2019. Eleven of the thirteen architects submitted proposals, that included new construction and modernization of the existing site. Staff reviewed and scored the proposals based on the rubric issued in the RFP. The four highest scoring architects were invited to interview. After the interview process, staff determined that PBK had the strongest proposal. The agreement for architectural services with PBK is in the amount of Eight Hundred Fifty Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($852,500).
