Mill Valley Middle School Update - Presentation

Consider Approval of Resolution 08-23/24: Support of Applications for Eligibility Determination and Funding in the School Facility Program when Bond Authority is Exhausted
The Office of Public School Construction announced in September 2018 that Proposition 51 new construction bond authority was exhausted, and in February 2019, modernization bond authority was exhausted. When bond authority is exhausted, funds are no longer available to be apportioned to districts; however, the state continues to allow districts to file applications. These applications are placed on what is called an “Applications Received Beyond Bond Authority List”, also known as the Acknowledged List.” However, in order to file an application, State Allocation Board regulations require district governing boards to adopt a resolution acknowledging the lack of bond authority, that applications will not undergo any substantial review, that the state funding program may change, the District’s construction activities are at its own discretion, and that the State cannot guarantee any funding for the applications in the future. Nonetheless, it is important for the District to file the request for funds in the event Proposition 51 bond funds return to the program or if additional state funds become available for the Program.

As a result, this resolution is before you to allow the filing of applications for eligibility and funding that may be undertaken. Therefore, Staff is recommending adoption of the attached resolution, Support of Applications for Eligibility Determination and Funding in the School Facility Program when Bond Authority is Exhausted.

Consider Approval of Lease-Leaseback Agreement, Site Lease, and Facilities Lease to Mill Valley Middle School Project to Flint

On August 14, 2023, the Mill Valley School District (“District”) issued a Request for Proposals No. 23/24-01 for Lease-Leaseback Services pursuant to Education Code Section 17406. A Request for Proposals was advertised in the Marin Independent Journal and select construction trade journals on August 14, 2023 and August 21, 2023. The District received three (3) responses as a result of the advertisement for the Mill Valley Middle School Project (“Project”). All submissions were carefully reviewed, and three (3) contractors were selected for an interview. The Interview Panel, which consisted of one Board of Trustees (“Board”) member, the Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services, Director of Maintenance, Operations, and Safety, Bond Construction Manager, Project Architect, and Legal Counsel interviewed the firms on September 28, 2023. The Interview Panel carefully considered each firm’s qualifications and experience with similar projects. On or about October 12, 2023, the Board approved Contractor for the Project. This Agenda Item authorizes the approval of the Lease-Leaseback Agreement, Site Lease, and Facilities Lease (“Lease-Leaseback Contract”) to the Contractor for the Project. In the first phase of the Lease-Leaseback Contract, the Contractor will be involved in the design process to provide information on cost, constructability, phasing, and value engineering. Subsequently, the Project’s guaranteed maximum price (“GMP”) will be determined after subcontractor bids are reviewed and subcontractors are selected through a competitive process. Upon determination and finalizing of the GMP, and upon plan approval by the Division of the State Architect (“DSA”), the GMP will be presented to the Board for approval at a separate meeting of the Board.

Review of Interim Housing for Middle School Students During Middle School Construction

October 12, 2023 Board of Trustees Regular Board Meeting

Consider Approval of Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee Bylaws

In November 2022, the Board approved bylaws and membership for the Citizen’s Bond Oversight Committee (CBOC). Section 5.3 of the approved bylaws “Ethics Rules Applicable to Committee: No Conflict of Interest” requires CBOC members to complete the Fair Political Practice Commission Form 700 Statement of Economic Interests annually. Completion of this form is cumbersome for CBOC members so bylaws were revised to include language that members must only include investments, business positions, or income from sources which are, or have been, engaged in work or services related to the school district . The revision to the bylaws provides protection for the District and reduces the demand on Committee members for filing Form 700s. Form 700 provides additional transparency about CBOC members' financial interests in district school facilities.Given the November deadline for annual filing of the Form 700 by CBOC members, staff recommend a first read and approval of the revised bylaws at the October 12, 2023 Board meeting which was approved by the Board. New bylaws can be seen here.

Following the conclusion of the proposal review and interview process, the Evaluation Committee recommends that the Board approve AECOM as the selected construction management firm for the District’s Projects for reasons including, but not limited to:

AECOM provides similar construction management services on some of the largest K-12 design and construction programs in California, including but not limited to relevant, local Bay Area bond projects;
References have been checked and confirmed, including with San Francisco Unified School District, Los Angeles Unified School District, and San Bernardino City Unified School District;
AECOM has proven experience in program and construction management services, including but not limited to cost estimating and comparative analysis, construction oversight and coordination, and quality control and assurance procedures;
The firm also has a decades-long history of K-12 work in California with vast experience in working with the Office of Public School Construction (OPSC), State Allocation Board, California Department of Education, the Division of the State Architect (DSA), and the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). Additionally, AECOM also has experience in complying with the Uniform Building Code (UBC), and Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations;
Further, the firm has a strong Bay Area presence with a local branch office in San Francisco, California, and the proposed AECOM personnel that would be assigned to the District has extensive experience working collaboratively with each other on other K-12 projects in the Bay Area;
AECOM’s presentation factored in the District and the specific projects that will be part of the District’s Measure G Bond Program; and
AECOM embraces inclusivity, equity, and diversity as well as corporate social justice.

Pending Board approval, the District’s legal counsel will proceed to negotiate a Master Agreement and Project Assignment(s) with AECOM. The Master Agreement and each Project Assignment will be brought back to the Board for approval and/or ratification.
