The sales surtax renewal program includes a project for structured cabling at Fairglen Elementary in year 2. The project will also include electrical and intercom renewal since this work can be done by the same type of subcontractor.

Wharton Smith, Inc. has submitted a Guaranteed Maximum Price proposal in an amount not to exceed $1,190,273 under their continuing contract for design build services. The proposal is based on a Design Criteria Package (DCP) prepared by District staff. Administration and permitting costs have been previously budgeted. The project will be funded through 2020 sales surtax renewal in security (intercom), educational technology (structured cabling) and facility renewal (electrical). The project requires additional funding allocation from the 2020 sales surtax renewal in security ($180,000), educational technology ($310,000) and facility renewal ($90,000), which will be considered by the Independent Citizens Oversight Committee on April 19. Resources are available from revenues received. Capital funding is also available if needed.

The project will be managed through Educational Technology in collaboration with Facilities Services. 

Board approval is required for purchase orders over $50,000. The standard form of the agreement has been used which does not require legal review.
