FACILITIES PLANNING
Whereas buildings, equipment and grounds are essential for child development and are of the utmost importance to help make healthy, intelligent and useful citizens, the Board of Education shall make the necessary provisions for the planning of facilities to carry out the goals and objectives of the school district. 

The Board shall review procedures and recommendations for periodically updating the long-range school facilities program. This review will provide guidance for capital outlay expenditures, and will assure that the school district has well-planned school buildings at proper locations when needed and at reasonable costs. The superintendent shall report to the Board annually the status of facilities needed, based on enrollment projections and other factors. 

Planning for school buildings may be initiated by the Board members upon their recognition of the need, or possibly upon request by the staff, patrons and/or the superintendent. Principals and staff shall be consulted during the sketch plan stage and until the final layout is determined. Building plans for new construction or major structural renovation will be designed in accordance with seismic design standards if required by law and will comply with requirements for access to persons with disabilities as required by law.

SELECTION OF ARCHITECTURAL/ENGINEERING AND/OR LAND SURVEYING SERVICES
The Board may select qualified firm(s) and negotiate contract(s) for architectural, engineering and land surveying services for the various building projects in the school district. Selection shall be made on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications for the types of services specified by the district at fair and reasonable prices. 

In selecting such firm(s), the following criteria will be considered:

  • Training, specialized experience and technical competence, including that of partners and associates, demonstrated either with the district or elsewhere with respect to the type of services desired by the Board.
  • Planning ability, efficiency and promptness of the firm(s), including the capacity and capability of the firm(s) to perform the tasks requested, as well as any specialized services, within the time limitations established for the completion of the project.
  • Demonstrated educational specifications writing, to include accuracy and sufficiency of detail.
  • Inspection of job effectiveness, to include an analysis of the past record of performance of the firm(s) with respect to control of costs, quality of work, design, appearance, utility and the ability to meet time schedules.
  • Proximity to and familiarity with the geographical area in which the project shall be located. 

When considering the need for architectural, engineering and/or land surveying services, the Board or designee shall prepare a written description of the services desired by the district. 

Interested firms may be requested to submit statements of their qualifications and performance data with respect to the above criteria and also to submit a fee schedule. The Board or designee shall analyze the data received and list the top three (3) qualified firms. The Board shall select the firm(s) considered best qualified and capable of performing the desired services and shall negotiate a contract. Should the Board be unable to negotiate a contract with the firm(s) first selected, the Board may negotiate a contract with another firm from the list, or may direct the superintendent to seek additional statements of qualifications from other firm(s) and then submit a new list of qualified firms.

CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS BIDDING AND AWARDS
All facilities construction projects that exceed an expenditure of $15,000 shall be advertised and competitive bids solicited, according to state law, only after the plans and specifications have been approved by the Board of Education. In order to protect the Board of Education, each bidder may be required to submit with his or her bid a bidder's bond in an amount determined by the estimated cost of the project. 

The construction contract shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder whose bid is in accordance with the Board-approved plans and specifications and who has provided the required security. However, the Board reserves the right to waive minor technical defects in a bid, or reject any or all bids, or any part of any bid. No bid for the construction, alteration or repair of any building shall be accepted if it does not conform to the Board-approved plans and specifications. 

If the project is considered a public works project estimated to exceed $25,000, the contractor will be required to furnish a performance bond in accordance with law. No contractor shall be required to submit a bond from a particular insurance or surety company. Lien waivers shall be provided by the contractor and his or her subcontractors and suppliers. All pay requests by the contractor shall be approved by the architect prior to submission to the Board of Education for payment. 

Bid specifications and/or contracts for all public works shall include the required provisions concerning prevailing wages pursuant to the rules of the Division of Labor Standards of the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations and will comply with state law.
