January 26, 2007 Memorandum from Superintendent Neil Pedersen Attachment 2. February 2, 2007 Memorandum from Superintendent Neil Pedersen Attachment 3. Minutes from January 9, 2007 Town of Carrboro Public Hearing INFORMATION CONTACT: Laura Blackmon, 919-245-2300 Donna Coffey, 245-2151 Attachment 4. October 11, 2006 Memorandum from County Budget Director regarding County's Debt Issuance Plans PURPOSE: To update the Board of County Commissioners regarding Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools Elementary #10. BACKGROUND: Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools plans to construct its tenth elementary school on the northern portion of the County-owned Twin Creeks school/park campus located near the intersection of Old NC 86 and Eubanks Road in the Chapel Hill Township. As planned, Elementary #10 contains 90,229 square feet and is a prototype of Rashkis Elementary (less a community gymnasium) that opened in August 2003. Water and sewer infrastructure do not currently serve the Twin Creeks site, a 193-acre parcel purchased by the County in 2001. In addition to the school, the Master Plan for the site includes development of a County park along with possible future schools. The timeline below offers an update of recent activity related to Elementary #10: • October 17, 2006 - The Board of County Commissioners reviewed and approved final plans for construction of the school and authorized the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools to solicit construction bids. 2 • December 12, 2006 - The Board of County. Commissioners approved a voluntary annexation petition requested by the Town of Carrboro - the annexed area consists of 19-acres (known as the school site) out of the entire 193-acre Twin Creeks master site • December 14, 2006 - The school district received bid results for construction of the new school as well as installation of water and sewer infrastructure. • January 9, 2007 - The Town of Carrboro held a public hearing, and subsequently approved a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow the construction of Elementary #10. • January 18, 2007 - The Chapel Hill Carrboro Board of Education discussed Elementary #10 but deferred decisions regarding bid awards until February 1, 2007. • January 26, 2007 - Superintendent Neil Pedersen informed the County Manager (via the attached January 26, 2007 memorandum) that he planned to ask the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools Board of Education to award construction bids on February 1, 2007 "on the condition that funds are authorized by the Orange County Board of Commissioners". Included in the materials from the Superintendent was a list of value engineering and modification items that School Board members considered during their meeting. • February 2, 2007 - Superintendent Pedersen notified the County Manager that, on February 1, 2007, the Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools approved a total project budget for Elementary #10 of $24,282,751 and authorized him to submit the District's request to the County. The Board of Education's request is that County Commissioners approve the project budget of $24.3 million as soon as possible in order to break ground next month followed by opening of the school in August 2008. A project detail is included in the February 2 memorandum from the Superintendent. Given the fact that the Board of Education submitted its funding request less than a week ago, there are many outstanding questions and concerns that County staff has not had sufficient time to fully analyze. Examples of the outstanding issues include affordability and debt capacity, design components including sustainable elements, regulatory issues, water, sewer and road infrastructure, student membership, elementary level capacity and Schools Adequate Public Facilities. It would be in the County's best interest for staff to review and analyze all of the impacts of the Board of Education's request for $24.3 million for Elementary #10 before moving forward. It is also important to note that while the Town of Carrboro approved the Conditional Use Permit for Elementary #10, the approval was conditional on the school district meeting a number of conditions. Attachment 3 is a copy of the minutes from the Town's January 9, 2007 public hearing. The minutes include 28 conditions cited by the Town some of which may require additional expenditures to complete. FINANCIAL IMPACT: On September 14, 2006, the Board approved debt issuance plans for individual County and School projects totaling $96.2 million ($92.2 million in non-enterprise fund debt plus $4 million in enterprise fund debt). Attachment 4 of this agenda abstract is a memo from the County's Budget Director that confirms the Board's debt issuance plans. In addition to Carrboro High School and a number of County related projects, those plans included $21.1 million for Elementary #10 plus $1.2 million for the County's share of water and sewer infrastructure to the Twin Creeks school/park campus. It is important to note that the County will receive construction bids for non-school projects, such as the Justice Facility and Central/Northern Orange Senior Center, in. the near future. Additional funding beyond the amounts approved by the Board may also be required to complete those projects as planned. The County's Debt Management Policy sets the County's non-enterprise fund debt limit as fifteen percent of the annual General Fund budget. Based on the project funding plans outlined in the October 11 memorandum, the County will come very close to its debt capacity limitation over the next three to four years. The result of increasing the debt amounts already endorsed for individual projects, would be either that there would need to be a corresponding decrease in an individual project previously endorsed by the Board or that the County would exceed its debt capacity limitation. RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive and discuss information related to the Elementary #10 project, and direct staff to review and analyze the impacts of Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School's request for $24.3 million for Elementary #10. 0 ? y TO: Laura Blackmon Orange County Manager FROM: Neil Pederse Superintende RE: - Elementary No. 10 DATE: January 26, 2007 As we discussed earlier this week, I am enclosing a copy of the agenda item for our February' l" Board of Education meeting. The Board is being asked to make awards for . Elementary No. 10 on the condition that funds are authorized by the Orange County Board of Commissioners and to direct the administration to seek a Project Ordinance that would provide sufficient funds. We are proposing that the Board of Education consider using the' multi-prime contractor approach because we and other school districts have had bad experiences with the single prime contractor, J.M. Thompson. The difference in bids is less than $25,000., We are also proposing that the Board consider value engineering options that would reduce the cost of the project by approximately $735,000. If both of these recommendations are accepted, we are still about $1.3 million over our projected-costs for the entire project. We believe that any delay will only increase the cost of the school given the continuing escalation of construction costs. We must break ground in March to be able to open this school for the 2008-09 school year. There are still other challenges facing us; however, it is critical that the County Commissioners take action as soon as possible on this request. Our Board of Education will take action on this recommendation on February 1; therefore, we are asking that you place this on your February 6 agenda. My staff is available to address any requests you have for additional information. Cc Board of Education Steve Scroggs Lincoln Center, 750 S. Merritt Mill Road + Chanel Hill.

Prior Submission Dates Public Hearing Required: No Work Session, No Date Discussion and Action Yes Date 01/18/07, Attachment(s): 1. Value Engineering Analysis 2. Project Budget Model 3. Elementary #10 Construction Bid Tabulation PURPOSE: Provide the Board of Education with a recommendation regarding the awarding of construction bids for Elementary #10, including information related to the switch from a single prime contract to a multi prime contract. BACKGROUND: Construction bids for Elementary School #10 were opened. on December 14. To encourage contractor competition and flexibility in awarding contracts, the project was bid as both a single prime and a multi prime project. Also on December 14, construction bids were opened for the water and sewer installation. This aspect of work was bid separately to entice participation from the specialized contractors who perform this type of work and to identify costs associated with its installation. After the construction bids were opened, the total project budget was updated. The final projected budget for the single grime contract was $23,913,622. This was $1.9 million (8.9%) more than anticipated. While the single prime low bid cost was used for the anticipated construction cost of the.budget update, the bids from the low multi prime contract were.only $21,823 higher. Macintosh HD:Documents:J'anuary 2007:Elementary #10 vl.doc 1-GO-V! f G. OGr"IVi. VI1. ili ? t i ?..ar t uur v vvnn ??nn r ?? cva c-r.-r ...+? ?c 6 A value engineering,(VE) process to identify potential cost reductions was conducted-with the low single prime contractor, J.M. Thompson Company. The result of the VE discussions with J.M. Thompson was'a possible reduction of $682,118. The VE list and associated costs were discussed at the January 18 School Board meeting. It should be noted that since the Board meeting it has been determined that eliminating the rainwater recycling system would. cause major modifications to the approved site plans. Resubmitting the plans for approval would result in a lengthy delay of a Building Permit from the Town of Carrboro. Therefore, the VE line item for eliminating the rainwater recycling system. has been omitted and J.M. Thompson's revised VE reduction total is $569,618. Since the Board meeting, architects, engineers, and Facilities Management staff have had VE discussions with the low-bid multi prime contractors. J. H. Allen, Inc, Southern Piping Company, Vaughan Electric Co., Quate Industrial Services, and ABL-Fire Protection submitted the low multi prime bids on December 14. The attached list reflects the results of these discussions. Overall, the value of the VE items negotiated from the multi prime contractors is greater than the value offered by the single prime contractor. The total of the VE items and project additions from the multi prime contractors is a reduction of $674,819. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total project costs are projected to be $23,241,036 if contracts are awarded to the multi prime contractors and all value engineering options are taken. The cost of the complete building, with no deletions is projected to be $23,936,100. Both figures are over the projected budget developed last year of $21,957,245. If all the value engineered options are accepted, the projected costs for elementary #10 are estimated to be $1,283,791 (5.8%) higher than expected. PERSONNEL IMPACT: none RECOMMENDATION: As a result, Facilities Management recommends proceeding with the low bids submitted by the multi prime contractors: J. H. Allen, Inc, Southern Piping Company, Vaughan Electric Co., Quate Industrial Services, and ABL=Fire Protection. Decisions regarding the VE items can be addressed as the bids are reviewed by the School Board and funding is approved by the. County Commissioners. It is also recommended to accept the low bid for the water and sewer installation submitted by Blackmon and Associates in the amount of $634,848. RESOLUTION: Be it,. therefore, resolved that-the Board of Education directs the school administration to prepare and deliver a request to the Orange County Board of County Commissioners for a Capital Project Ordinance*to fund the Elementary # 10 project.

The Board further resolves to accept the low bid for the water and sewer installation submitted by Blackmon and Associates for $634,848.

Pages 1 through 3 of this memo summarize staffs understanding of capital and debt-related actions and endorsements that the Board has made since the beginning of the fiscal year. Page 4 offers a guide for understanding the Annual Debt Service Capacity and Tax Rate Impact spreadsheet (page 6). Feel free to contact me if there are questions or if my understanding of the Board's recent actions differ from yours. Background Information Orange County's major funding sources for school and County capital projects Include pay-as-you-go monies (examples include dedicated sales and property taxes, school construction Impact fees and Public School Building Funds) and debt financing. The County has several capital-related policies in place that govern planning and funding capital projects and debt management. Recently the Board has focused discussions on school and County capital projects that require funding beyond the amount of money that pay-as-you-go resources generate - i.e. projects that require debt financing. Most recent discussions have centered around "affordability" - what capital projects can the County afford to fund with respect to debt service as well as on-going annual costs? The August 31 BOCC Work Session was the first step In providing a picture of what the County could afford with regard to funding capital and operating costs of future County and School capital projects. Therefore, materials prepared for that work session offered a wholistic view of total amounts of debt that the County could afford In future years without regard to individual project timelines or cash needs. At the August 31 Work Session, the Board provided direction regarding specific projects. That direction allowed staff to take the next step and project specific cash flow requirements and funding needs for individual projects with face value debt of $92.2 million that the Board wished to pursue over the next three or so years. Chart 1 identifies those projects. The outcome of that step was the Capital and Debt Work Book presented at the September 14, 2006 work session. In addition to providing historical data, the work book also offered financial data including projected annual costs (including debt service and tax rate Impacts) for individual school and county projects.
