X.b. Approval - Authorize an Agreement with DLR Group for consulting services for developing District Furniture, Fixture and Equipment (FF&E) Design Criteria starting with Horace Mann
Rationale:

The current Board-Approved Design and Construction standards do not include standards for fixtures, furnishings, and equipment. It will be necessary for criteria to be determined, starting first with Horace Mann, and procurement completed, by the time the current construction at Building B is completed. The criteria developed will not be only for Horace Mann and will be used for other modernization projects as they occur. The goal of the FFE Design Criteria Package is to provide a written and visual illustration of BHUSD FFE requirements, per space type/per furniture piece, to be bid by several manufacturers and dealers. This document and subsequent award of FF&E bids for Horace Mann Building B will set the standard for furniture selection and procurement throughout the District and allow BHUSD to manage inventory, achieve savings through volume purchasing, and enhance student/staff/administrators/visitors experience.
