Draft Proposed School Kirk Vaughn, (919) 245-2153 Construction ILA John Roberts, (919) 245-2318 Attachment 2. Major Project Planning Addendum Attachment 3. Presentation PURPOSE: To discuss and provide feedback to the Manager on the draft School Construction Interlocal Agreement (ILA) with both School Districts. BACKGROUND: During the 2024 bond process, the Board of County Commissioners reviewed its policies and procedures around school capital funding, updating the School Capital Funding Policy and the Major Project Planning Addendum. The Board requested staff review and propose an ILA to strengthen accountability and transparency for upcoming school construction and renovation projects. Staff reviewed similar arrangements in other counties with active school construction, including an ILA from Wake County. The draft ILA codifies a joint school construction Core Team comprised of staff from all three entities. This Core Team will have assigned roles, meet quarterly and more often as needed, and report back to the Joint Meeting of the Board of Commissioners and School Boards at least once per year. Additionally, there are provisions in the agreement that school staff report on the alignment with County policies, that the Team maintain information for public consumption, and that that each party identifies a liaison for its respective governing board. Subsequent to the initial review of the ILA and upon discussions with the Chair, the County Attorney revised the document to reflect additional detail related to the major construction and renovation projects. The major revisions are highlighted below: • Requiring, to the greatest extent practical, projects to align with the principles Woolpert Report. • Establishing a minimum dollar threshold of $250,000 for projects to be overseen by the Core Team. • School Districts to propose projects, refer those proposals to the Core Team for consideration, the Core Team will refer proposals to the County Manager, and the County Manager will then refer projects to the Board of County Commissioners for approval. • Provides construction manager at risk ("CMAR") as the default procurement method. 2 • The School Districts shall select a design professional and submit to the Board of Commissioners for review and approval and upon approval the School Districts shall manage the design of each project. Any amendments to the design contract shall be submitted to the County Commissioners for approval. • The School Districts shall directly manage school construction. Any change orders or amendments that increase the total budget of the project must go to the County for approval. • Requires the completion of a sales tax recapture agreement(s) prior to beginning any project. • Provides for how defaults and remedies are addressed. Staff also recommends establishing separate agreements with each School District, that way one District withdrawing from the agreement does not dissolve the relationship between the County and the other District. Along with the ILA, the County reviewed options in managing this process, and determined that it would be preferable to have staff provide oversight and communication during the project construction, rather than hiring a project management firm. The Manager recommends adding a 1.0 FTE (full time equivalent) School Capital and Financial Analyst to coordinate the meetings of the CORE Team, report back to the Board on school construction, and manage all public communications, including maintenance of a dashboard. This position would also consolidate other school related tasks that currently reside in different departments, like the coordination of the Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance Technical Advisory Committee (SAPFOTAC) and the reporting of capital expenditures for financing and reimbursement. This position would be funded out of the Pay-Go funds set aside for Project Management. $500,000 was budgeted in FY 2026, and $1,000,000 is planned annually for future years. The County will retain approximately $45,000 for a position starting December 1, 2025, and will allocate the remaining Pay-Go funds to the School Districts for project and program management expenses. If the Board moves forward with the ILA, the formal creation of this position will be considered at a subsequent meeting. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with discussion of the Interlocal Agreement. The School Capital and Financial Analyst position would utilize funds already budgeted in the FY 2025-26 budget. ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports: • GOAL 5: PUBLIC EDUCATION/LEARNING COMMUNITY OBJECTIVE 1. Foster collaborative relationships with formal and informal educational organizations and agencies to provide opportunities for community members to meet, connect, and learn together. OBJECTIVE 2. Improve school readiness and educational outcomes by providing access, training, tools, technology, and other resources needed to thrive. OBJECTIVE 4. Improve learning environments by investing in facilities over a 10-year period that address repair, renovation, and educational adequacy needs. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board provide feedback to the Manager, solicit feedback from both School Districts, to present an updated Interlocal Agreement for Board approval at a subsequent meeting.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, ORANGE COUNTY, ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOLS, CHAPEL HILL- CARRBORO CITY SCHOOLS through their authorized officers and by their own hands have hereunto set forth their hands and seals of the day and year first above written. The Chapel Hill Carrboro City Schools Board of Education By: Chair The Orange County Schools Board of Education By: Chair Orange County, North Carolina By: Chair 11 Orange County Board of Commissioners Major Project Planning Policy Addendum Background The County's ten-year capital plan is a planning document that is updated annually. During the budget process, the County appropriates the first year of funding, and accepts the ten- year plan. The County pursued a Bond Referendum in November 2024 as an effort to replace or renovate older facilities in each district and improve the educational adequacy of school facilities. Due to the importance of these Major Projects to the districts and the county at large, the Board has specified additional considerations for design, planning, and location of Major Projects. These are established in the following policy document. Design and Planning The responsibility for design and construction of school facilities lies directly with the two districts. However, the County has the responsibility for the funding of these facilities. Therefore, the Districts are responsible to demonstrate how their designed Major Projects would meet the following County priorities. • Educationally Adequate - New facilities should at a minimum meet all current Department of Public Instruction (DPI) space types and space size standards. These include adequate spaces for Exceptional Children and for Career and Technical Education. • Flexibly designed for Future Standards - Because schools are expected to be in use for long periods of time, and DPI standards will change in that period, new construction should prioritize flexible space in design. • Equitably between School Districts - As the County is responsible for funding educational opportunities for residents regardless of public school district, it expects districts to maintain equitability in scope and construction standards between them. The County can use various techniques to regulate this equitability, including joint project management, joint bidding of design and construction, prototype designs, etc. • Sustainability & Life Cycle Costing - As part of the County's Climate Action Plan, the County establishes that new County funded construction should include climate mitigation and sustainability measures. To properly prioritize these investments, project designs should utilize life cycle costing techniques, for instance including the long-term savings of solar installation. However, consideration should be given to the training and qualifications required for school district operations staff. • Safety - New school facilities will meet all modern best practices around creating a safe school campus, and recommendations from the School Safety Taskforce. • Community Usage - School districts should coordinate with municipalities and County recreation staff to identify and pursue joint community use opportunities. • Capacity - District staff will identify how Major Projects would impact the student capacity of the district. To support a "Newer & Fewer" replacement strategy, school districts may replace smaller older schools with larger higher capacity schools. The County 12 expects the districts to create a long-term plan to use that additional capacity to consolidate other aging schools. Site Selection Per State Statute, a local board of education cannot execute a contract nor expend funds to purchase a facility site without the consent of the local board of county commissioners. As each district plans for future school-related facilities, districts must be able to account for the following County criteria. • Acreage Standards - Districts should ensure that the land acquired for a new school site meets all DPI acreage requirements for the intended school. • Environmental Factors - Due to the long usage of school facilities, and the increasing impact of climate change, districts should strictly avoid all future flood hazards. Facilities should not be in close proximity to wetlands, stream buffers or in a flood plain. The facility should also be sited to avoid any unfavorable environmental impacts. • Availability of Utilities - The district should account for the utility construction requirements in building new school facilities. This may require preliminary meetings with County, utility provider and school staff to determine these costs. • Total Project Costing - The districts should provide a reasonable accounting of all additional costs related to building at the proposed site that would exceed the standard budgets for school construction. These would include the total costs of all utility installations, stormwater management and site grading. Districts should prioritize the lowest total cost in determining future sites, rather than the upfront purchase price. • Potential for Joint Park Site - Districts should alert the County of any joint opportunities to purchase land for park facilities adjacent to school sites. • Safe Routes to Schools - District staff should identify the alternative routes to school that would be possible using alternative modes of transportation for the planned location. If these routes are not available at the time of purchase, District staff should work with County and Town staff to identify and overcome barriers to these safe routes over time. Board of County Commissioner approval for any potential school site acquisition will be discussed during open session of regular BoCC business meetings. School staff will need to provide adequate notice to county staff based on the County's agenda process and will need to provide the following details: cost of the proposed site, location of the site, including tax map numbers, as well as a memorandum detailing how the proposed locations adheres to County criteria. Rescission This policy supersedes any school planning policy in place prior to this date.
