One of the major functions of the Board of Education is to determine policies of operation for the Napa Valley Unified School District (NVUSD). NVUSD has had several outdated policies that needed revision. NVUSD worked in partnership with the California School Boards Association (CSBA) during this past year to develop and propose the attached revised policies which are the most current and compliant according to legal code and best practices in the state of California for public school systems.

In formulating policies, the board, acting through its executive officer, the superintendent of schools, solicits the assistance of staff to develop and revise policies. Proposals or amendments of board policy are adopted only after a thorough review. They were first introduced in writing (called “first reading”) during the school board meeting on Thursday, May 23, 2019.

The attached policies represent a cooperative study by the board, administration, and appropriate school personnel. The board assumes sole responsibility and authority for the enclosed policies. These policies stand as written until proposals or amendments are approved by the board. 

All of these policies have been developed in terms for the purposes of the Napa Valley Unified School District. It is the aim in policy development to continue the improvement of the program of instruction and school district performance toward better meeting the educational needs of our students. The goal is that these policies will serve as a guide to all the personnel of the NVUSD schools. The board is being asked to take action and approve these revised CSBA vetted policies Thursday, June 13, 2019.

The majority of change order #4 to BHM Construction Inc., for the River Middle School Measure H Project are cost associated with changes between the bid set of drawings and the Division of the State Architect (DSA) approved set of drawings, governing the grading and underground utility work at the site. 

Additionally, there are fire alarm changes that were a result of "lessons learned" on previous projects as well as replacement of some aged fire alarm devices.  In addition to the aforementioned changes, there are costs associated with adding openings and doors in the gymnasium to improve flow, access and student safety. 

Finally, this change order includes costs for a new canopy on Building E and some modifications to the Instrument Storage room to facilitate casework installation. The existing canopies were planned to remain on campus, but upon the start of the project, the condition of the canopies had deteriorated to the point that they required replacement.  The casework was modified to be more conducive to the instruments and needs of the music program.

Change order #5 to Arntz Builders Inc. (ABI) is for the Irene Snow Measure H Project.  A large portion of this change order includes the amount to demolish, dismantle and relocate the interim campus.  The relocation of the portables within the temporary campus was originally noted in the drawings to be completed by the District outside of the General Contractor's contract.  The disconnect of utilities was to be done by the General Contractor.  The District has chosen to surplus the portable buildings rather than relocate them.  This calls for demolition.  As we have with other items, out of scope for the General Contractor, we are adding this to the General Contractor's scope of work.  This allows them to effectively coordinate the disconnect and the demolition, to best fit the schedule for completion of the entire project.

Additionally, there are costs associated with numerous unforeseen underground obstructions that created a need to modify contract work.  The unforeseen underground obstruction required the contractor to perform work during off-hours to avoid school operations and create alternative paths of travel for students, staff and parents.

The District needs to retain a Landscape Architect/Civil Engineer to assist in preparation of a Request for Proposals, procurement, preparation of Division of the State Architect (DSA) documentation, and construction administration for Phase I Artificial Fields Replacement Projects.

The District Facilities team has been monitoring the condition of all of the District’s fields and has identified four fields with artificial turf surfaces which need to be replaced as soon as possible.  These fields surfaces have become worn through intensive school and community use and are at or beyond their useful service life.  The fields proposed for replacement in Phase I are:  Napa High School, Vintage High School, Silverado Middle School, and American Canyon Middle School. 

The School Planning and Construction team previously prepared and circulated a Request for Qualifications and Proposals (RFQP) for Civil Landscape firms.  Verde Design responded to the RFQP and was approved by the Board as a Qualified Firm for projects, on April 25, 2019, with a specialty in sports fields.  Verde Design provided a proposal for services, dated May 29, 2019, which is attached. 

The proposal for services includes at Total Fee Base, as well as two options for additional services.  Staff recommends moving forward with the Total Base Fee of $84,550, as well as the Additive Optional DSA work for $23,500.  This will total $108,050.  This information is covered in the Professional Compensation section of the proposal. 

Funded by Measure H 

The Office of School Planning and Construction recommends approval to award a contract for professional services with Verde Design, Inc. for RFP development, procurement assistance, DSA Submittal and coordination, and construction administration on the Phase I Artificial Turf Fields Replacement project. 

Call for Request for Proposals (RFP) for California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) procurement to replace up to four existing synthetic fields within the District.  A CMAS Contractor is a vendor that has been awarded a specific type of government contract called the California Multiple Award Schedule.  This procurement method allows for Districts to take advantage of the pricing already vetted/established by other state agencies.  That same pricing can be used for the same products in a different district.  This RFP will request CMAS pricing from synthetic field providers.  Staff can then determine best value for the District and move forward with procurement and installation.

Estimated $3,100,000

Funded by Measure H 

The Office of School Planning and Construction recommends approval to call for RFP for CMAS Contractors.
