After review of the four submissions, it was determined that XL Construction had the highest scored proposal.  A Notice of Intent to Award was issued to XL Construction on November 14, 2017.

The contract consists of a Site Lease whereby the District leases the site to the contractor for $1 and a Facilities Lease whereby the contractor will construct the project on the site and lease it back to the District in consideration for the District making payments equal to the construction costs. The Facilities Lease also contains a financed portion of the project cost.

XL Construction will provide pre-construction services at hourly rates in the contract not to exceed One Hundred Twenty Thousand Nine Hundred Sixty Dollars ($120,960.00).  We then anticipate making two amendments to the Facilities Lease:

Once DSA approval is obtained and a price and schedule are finalized with the contractor, we will bring an amendment to the contract back to the Board for approval that will set forth the scope, price and time for completion

The playfield area on the Discovery High School campus is logistically the best fit for the program. Discovery High School is an alternative high school, thus not meeting the comprehensive high school requirement. The playfield area will be transferred to Natomas High School's campus, satisfying the requirement for the program to be housed on a comprehensive high school campus. Resolution 17-38 addresses the transfer of the field space from Discovery High to Natomas High, as well as the future sharing of field spaces for activities and evacuation needs.

Districts are required to annually submit a Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) based on anticipated areas of need in case they are unable to find fully credentialed teachers that meet their needs.  Although the District is diligent in advertising, recruiting and hiring fully prepared teachers, there may be an instance where we would need to hire someone on an emergency or limited assignment permit in certain subject areas. We will have trained, qualified teachers, but some may need a provisional permit to work in their specific assignment. To qualify for as few as one provisional document from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, the District must have attempted all of these search efforts. In order for our teachers to be eligible for provisional or emergency permits in certain authorizations, the Board must adopt a "Declaration of Need for Fully Qualified Educators." The Board and the public must have the opportunity to see the number of emergency permits the District reasonably expects to request from the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and the reasons for such requests.

Our anticipated needs at this time are for staff serving in the following areas:

• English Learners – We will continue to need emergency CLAD permits for some new hires, particularly out-of-state-trained teachers
• Special Education - All Special Education positions continue to be recognized as statewide shortage areas
• Science- All Science positions continue to be difficult to fill

• List of all Delegates with Term Expiration
