Want to make sure everyone agrees to accept the report <br /> and consultant <br /> ii. Could present the entire slide deck for elected officials <br /> as a reference even if don't review entire deck verbally <br /> d. Scope of Work <br /> i. Gary: reviewed other county school districts that hired <br /> consultants to do this same task <br /> 1. Spoke with Guilford Co. Schools CFO, Durham <br /> County—know of about 4 consultants that do this <br /> work <br /> 2. Guilford's cost was $899k for 126 schools. We <br /> have 32 schools so could estimate the cost would <br /> be substantially less than Guilford but will <br /> depend on what we want in the scope of work— <br /> entire study took about 8 months once the <br /> contract was awarded <br /> ii. Carrie: combined score affirms the building score for the <br /> most part (the other scores don't do much to change the <br /> combined score) <br /> 1. Jean: Are you saying, if the facilities score <br /> captures the FCA score, do we need the other <br /> metrics? This is just one example from one <br /> school district but helps. <br /> 2. Carrie: tech and suitability are good metrics to <br /> have <br /> 3. Al: A proponent of having the extra scores <br /> denoted. Are a part of the FCA, but it's better to <br /> see what is driving the scores by these categories. <br /> a. Site scores can change over time, <br /> especially if a school is very old. Don't <br /> want to just look at just the envelope and <br /> don't want to be constrained by an <br /> architect saying the other metrics are <br /> extra <br /> 4. Should keep these benchmarking metrics in the <br /> scope <br /> 5. Bonnie: how important is safety? It's become an <br /> important topic. <br /> 6. Bonnie: Will the consultant come back to us with <br /> an estimated cost to implement projects <br /> proposed? Need to included that and underscore <br /> the importance of working with two separate <br /> school districts <br /> a. Report to, compare to each other, etc. <br /> b. Jean: can they look at each school <br /> individually,regardless of district? <br />
