June Un-Audited Financial Statements Revenue Allocation Study Deferred Revenue

Items referred to the full Board as CONSENT AGENDA: 1. Property Management for OPSB Timbers Property Rationale: The OPSB entered into an agreement January 31, 2011 with Security National Properties to manage, operate and maintain the Timbers Office Building. The Board previously approved the contract through February 29, 2012. The cost of the contract is $19,021.42 per month and the cost from March 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013 is $361,406.98. In addition, OPSB administration recommends approval of an extension through December 31, 2013. Request for Proposals (RFP) number 14-0014 was released on October 9, 2013 and proposals are due November 4, 2013 which will allow OPSB Administration ample time to award a new contract beginning January 1, 2014.

Recommendation: That the Orleans Parish School Board ratify the extension of the contract through September 30, 2013 in the amount of $361,406.98. In addition, OPSB administration recommends the approval of an additional extension through December 31, 2013 in the amount of $57,064.26. Funds are available in the 2013-2014 Operation Building Services account.

ADOPTION OF CONSENT AGENDA ACTION ITEMS The Orleans Parish Board is asked to act upon the following action items: 1. Approval of Transfer or Sale of Fleur de Lis Park Rationale: In December 2010, OPSB authorized approval for the exchange of Fleur De Lis Park to NORA (New Orleans Redevelopment Authority) for property of equal value. Initial discussions on this transaction failed due to difficulty in arranging the transaction in a manner that would comply with State Laws regarding the disposition of surplus school board property.

OPSB has been successful in getting State Laws revised to allow for the sale or exchange of properties to another governmental entity for appraised value.

Recommendation: That the Orleans Parish School Board approves the agreement allowing for the transfer or sale of Fleur De Lis Park to NORA or the City for property or consideration of equivalent value.

2. Approval of the Events Suspension of OPSB Policy E500 for the Warren Easton Charter High School Alumni Homecoming and PTSO Dance.

Rationale: Warren Easton Charter High School has requested the suspension of OPSB Policy E500 to serve alcohol during the Alumni Homecoming on October 26 from 8pm-midnight, and at the PTSO Dance from 8pm-midnight on November 9. The suspension will require the following stipulations: secure liability insurance that names the Orleans Parish School Board and Warren Easton Charter High School Corporation as additional insured, two (2) security officers to be present at the event as detail officers. The event will be staffed with certified, professional servers who have been properly trained and permitted to serve alcohol to patrons over the age of 21.

APPROVAL OF TRANSFER OR SALE OF FLEUR DE LIS PARK TO NORA OR THE CITY FOR PROPERTY OR CONSIDERATION OF EQUIVALENT VALUE

Requestor: Stanley C. Smith, Interim Superintendent

BACKGROUND: In December 2010, OPSB authorized approval for the exchange of Fleur De Lis Park to NORA for property of equal value. Initial discussions on this transaction failed due to difficulty in arranging the transaction in a manner that would comply with State Laws regarding the disposition of surplus school board property.

OPSB has been successful in getting State Laws revised to allow for the sale of exchange of properties to another governmental entity for appraised value.

RECOMMENDATION: That the Orleans Parish School Board approves the agreement allowing for the transfer or sale of Fleur De Lis Park to NORA or the City for property or consideration of equivalent value.

E500 – FACILITIES, CAPITAL AND MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT It shall be the policy of the Orleans Parish School Board to require that school properties be maintained in good physical condition. The Board, therefore, shall instruct the Superintendent to assure that all normal building and grounds maintenance, repairs, and improvement functions are an integral part of the administration of the school system, including the regular evaluation for any safety hazards.

A Master Plan should be developed for all school property that should be reviewed annually with full transparency to all deferred maintenance issues and a plan issued to rectify with full cost estimates.

The Superintendent shall be vested with a broad range of administrative and supervisory authority relative to the school system’s buildings and grounds program. Regular reports shall be made available to the Board relative to maintenance needs, safety, utility, and attractiveness of school plants and grounds within the school system.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT A. Capital Improvement Project (CIP) - A project, asset acquisition or the total replacement cost of a major functioning component or system that improves or expands an existing OPSB facility or creates a new OPSB-owned capital asset. An example of a capital acquisition would be capital outlay necessary to acquire property, or a donated building. An example of major capital replacement cost would be; the total replacement of a buildings HVAC system or roof replacement.

B. Capital Expenditure – is the increase or acquisition of an asset or INCREASE in the value of a particular asset.

C. Major Maintenance or Outlay as is necessary for the MAINTENANCE of a valued asset including the upkeep of the fixed assets in a fully efficient state. A significant repair to or replacement of a component of an OPSB facility usually with a cost of $10,000 or greater per occurrence which does not extend the life of the facility.

D. Routine Maintenance and Repair – A repair, restoration or replacement of an existing facilities element that usually has a cost of less than $10,000 per occurrence.

Maintenance activities may be performed on a preventive, routine, scheduled or emergency basis. All maintenance and repair activities must be performed in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal codes, ordinances, statutes and regulations, including proper procurement procedures, using AIA written specifications where applicable, and performed by a properly licensed, qualified individual. Preventive maintenance shall be included as a Charter responsibility regardless of the cost.

E. Life Cycle Systems / Whole Life Costs – is a key component in the economic appraisal of a capital items such as a boiler, chiller, or roofing system. Those systems that have exceeded their useful life (womb to tomb), such as boilers, chillers, roofing systems, window systems, electrical distribution systems (bus panels) shall be identified as a capital expenditure.

VACANT AND/OR UNOCCUPIED BUILDINGS Vacant and/or unoccupied premises owned by the School Board shall be properly secured and maintained to prevent unauthorized trespass or injury to the general public. It shall be the responsibility of the Superintendent or his/her designee to assure that any vacant and/or unoccupied property of the School Board has limited access for authorized personnel only and the grounds are maintained regularly.

October 7, 2013 DEMOGRAPHER SERVICES FOR THE ORLEANS PARISH SCHOOL BOARD AND THE RECOVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT Requestor: Stan Smith, Interim Superintendent In May 2010 the Orleans Parish School Board approved a contract with GCR & Associates for Demographer Services with the following scope:

1. On a semiannual basis, GCR will—with the assistance of the RSD, OPSB, and individual charter schools—acquire address-level student enrollment data by grade.

2. GCR will then geo-process the addresses of these student records and inventory the number of grade PreK-4, 6-8, and 9-12 students for each of the City of New Orleans’ official neighborhoods.

3. After acquiring and processing the student enrollment data, GCR will prepare at the outset of the project revised population and enrollment projections (over a ten year horizon). These revised projections will incorporate the most recent enrollment, employment, utility, and housing data to arrive at three population and enrollment scenarios: a high, low, and moderate scenarios.

4. GCR will prepare a semiannual summary report to New Orleans Public Schools (NOPS), outlining population and enrollment trends for the entire City and for each neighborhood. This report will also compare these trends to the projections that were prepared by GCR in the spring semester, 2008, and the more recent projections to be prepared by GCR at the outset of this project (described in item 3 above).

5. On an annual basis, GCR will prepare customized reports for each NOPS school, summarizing enrollment data and trends as well as the evolving population and demographic profile of the neighborhoods surrounding each school.

6. On an annual basis, GCR will also prepare a summary narrative report that will place demographic and enrollment trends for the entire system in the context of the adopted School Facilities Master Plan. This report will offer commentary on the phased implementation of the Master Plan given the observed demographic and enrollment trends.

7. In 2011 with the release of 2010 Census data, GCR will establish a new population and demographic “baseline”; GCR will update its population and enrollment projections accordingly; and GCR will offer a narrative report on the population and demographic trends in New Orleans, as reported in the 2010 Census 8. GCR will continue to host and update the website that it has provided to NOPS to monitor enrollment trends (www.gcr1.com/dss_schools). Updates will include new enrollment data as they become available, revised projections, and a revised mapping interface to improve the geographical display of data.

9. GCR will be available on an as-needed basis to meet with NOPS staff and planners to review the projections and provide input as needed.

October 7, 2013 10. GCR will also be available on an as-needed basis to lead presentations of the data before NOPS staff, the Orleans Parish School Board, and the broader community to explain data trends and their relationship to the School Facilities Master Plan.

The original contract with GCR was executed for a three year period at a price of $225,000.00 and it included an option to renew the contract for an additional 2 years at a value of $150,000 The demographic services provided by GCR are a critical component of the School Facilities Master Plan, particularly with respect to providing future projections of students and matching these projections to facility needs.

Recommendation:

That the OPSB approves the renewal of the Demographer Services to GCR and Associates in the amount of $150,000.00 for a two (2) year period and authorize the OPSB General Counsel to prepare a contract.

December 15, 2013 PROGRAM MANAGEMENT/CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES Requestor: Herman K. Taitt, Jr., Executive Director of Facilities In February 20, 2013 the Recovery School District (RSD) released a Request for Proposals for Program Management/Construction Management Services to be provided to both the RSD and the Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB). The proposal submission deadline was April 11, 2013. Ten (10) proposals were received. Two (2) of the proposals received were deemed to be non-responsive.

The eight (8) remaining proposals were evaluated by a committee comprised of an LDOE Staff Member, a Commercial Property Manager, CEO of a State charter school, the Capital Director of the Louisiana State University System, and an OPSB Finance Staff member.

As a result of the evaluation the proposal from Jacobs/CSRS received the highest score. The OPSB portion of the scope of work will cost $9,445,624.39 over a three (3) year period. In addition, Jacobs/CSRS has committed to achieving a minimum 35% DBE participation goal.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Orleans Parish School Board accepts the Administration’s recommendation and approves the selection of Jacobs/CSRS to provide PM/CM Services for three (3) years at a cost of $9,445,624.39 and authorize the OPSB General Counsel to prepare a contract.
