3 <br /> An RFQ review committee selected Woolpert, Inc., an international architecture, engineering and <br /> geospatial (AEG)firm to perform this work, which is anticipated to take nine months from contract <br /> execution. A copy of the Woolpert, Inc. cost proposal is included as Attachment 1. The proposal <br /> includes an additional services fee of $85,000 for a study of educational adequacy of school <br /> facilities. This study was not requested in the original RFQ but deemed necessary by members <br /> of the review committee. The project is scheduled to take approximately nine months to complete, <br /> upon issuance of a signed contract. The cost of this contract requires approval by the Board of <br /> County Commissioners. <br /> Funding of $3,500,000 was set aside through Budget Amendment #5-A in the School Capital <br /> Reserve Fund for the purpose of funding this contract and providing additional funding for school <br /> capital. The professional services fees are recommended to be funded through Budget <br /> Amendment #7-A, which would utilize $984,561 of those funds and transfer them to the School <br /> Capital Fund. The remaining $2,515,439 will be split between the school districts based on <br /> average daily membership (ADM). Those funds will be allocated to specific projects through a <br /> subsequent budget amendment at the direction of both School Districts.
