PURPOSE: To discuss the ongoing assessments of capital facility needs for older schools in
both the Chapel Hill — Carrboro City Schools ( CHCCS) and Orange County Schools (OCS)
Districts.
BACKGROUND: Over the past year, both school districts have discussed with the
County /Schools Collaboration Work group and their respective Boards of Education the growing
need to address repairs and upgrades for older school buildings and facilities.
CHCCS has conducted an assessment of their older schools and facilities prepared by Mosley
Associates. CHCCS assessment of their older school estimates and capital needs estimates
potential repairs and upgrades will range from $52 million (low end) to $170 million (all
encompassing).
Orange County Schools has just begun their assessment of the capital facility's needs. Based
on Average Daily Membership (ADM) percentage, a preliminary estimate for Orange County
Schools could range between $20 million (low end) to $68 million (upper end). Orange County's
Assessment will be provided later in the year.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is not a financial impact with information being provided. There will
be a financial impact in future years as decisions are made to proceed with funding to address
older facilities.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Boards accept the information
and provide feedback and direction to staff.

presentation that is scheduled to be presented to the Chapel Hill - Carrboro City Schools
Board on September 19, 2013.
This presentation includes some general information about the study process, a review
of historical financial information, a summary of findings, three examples of needs and
potential projects, and a financial summary of the needs across our older schools. The
presentation concludes with some recommendations for next steps.
Staff will be present at the Joint Boards meeting on September 26, 2013 to answer

PURPOSE: To inform the Board of the findings from the study.
BACKGROUND: At the September 19, 2013 Board of Education meeting, administration and
representatives from Moseley Architects will present summarized findings from the facility
study of our ten oldest facilities. As you know we conducted the study with the intention of
assessing the physical and educational needs of each schools included in the study and to
establish a plan to address the needed improvements through maintenance and capital projects.
The schools and locations studied included, Carrboro Elementary, Ephesus Elementary, Estes
Hills Elementary, Frank Porter Graham Elementary, Glenwood Elementary, Seawell Elementary,
Phillips Middle, Culbreth Middle, Chapel Hill High, and Lincoln Center.
The assessment was also conducted to identify code and life safety concerns, accessibility
limitations, environmental issues, mechanical and electrical deficiencies, and site constraints.
While each school's needs are unique, there were many commonalities across all the schools
included in the study. These general observations and needs are listed below:
• Many buildings 50 -60+ years old
• Most buildings are in need of significant interior and exterior physical repair
• Many facilities need complete HVAC and lighting replacements
E
• Most buildings are lacking necessary support spaces for program delivery and require
additions
• Many are campus style facilities which are inefficient and more difficult to secure
• Many will require ADA and life safety code upgrades
• Many campuses are relying on temporary facilities that are also in need of significant
repair
We also have developed multiple approaches to make the necessary and recommended
improvements along with the associated cost estimates for each approach. In some cases, the
facility needs are so great that we question the value of making repairs and additions and instead,
suggest building replacements. Our Board presentation will include more details such as a
review of findings, an explanation of possible approaches to addressing the facility needs, and
recommended next steps.

Surveys by a team of architects and engineers to identify:
— Building code issues and life safety improvements
— Accessibility limitations
— Environmental issues
— Mechanical and electrical deficiencies
—Site constraints
School staff and SIT members completed questioners identifying their
facility issues of concern.
School sizes /capacities were compared to DPI and OC Standards and
concept plans and costs (Options 1, 2, &3) were developed for:
— Repairs and renovations to existing facilities
— Additions to address capacity and programmatic needs
— Deconstruction /replacement of facilities that have exceeded their useful life

Orange County Schools
Facilities Assessment Timeline
Over the past year, Orange County Schools (OCS) has undertaken three important
studies to comprehensively reflect the District's facility needs for the foreseeable future.
They are as follows:
December 2012 —OCS received Facilities Assessment Report from the
Department of Public Instruction
• This report identified areas where maintenance and capital expenditures
would be needed, but did not provide specific work details nor cost
estimates.
• Maintenance items have been addressed.
April 2013— Acknowledging the ever- increasing need to ensure safety in our
schools to the extent practicable, OCS commissioned Safe Havens International
to conduct a facilities assessment focusing on safety and risk management
practices in schools and District buildings.
• This excellent report holistically explored the effect facilities have on safety
and recommended several modifications. Funding constraints have
prohibited facility modifications or the addition of system controls to
address many of these recommendations.
• The report further identified work practices that should be changed to
promote a safer environment in the schools. Those recommendations are
currently being implemented within current funding.
October 2013 —The Board of Education will retain a consultant to conduct a
facilities assessment which builds on the findings of the other reports and adds
the needed detail and analysis for capital facility costs. The timeline for
completion of this report is as follows:
• Facilities Assessment Proposal due: 12:00 noon EDT October 3, 2013
• Anticipated date of award: No later than October 28, 2013
• Preliminary report requested no later than December 31, 2013
• Final report requested no later than January 31, 2014
This full body of work should provide information upon which the Orange County Board
of Education can confidently base future capital decisions.
