Instruction Considerations October 10, 2006

READ 180 Consideration of Approval for Additional Middle School READ 180 Licenses ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Trustees approve funding for the purchase of additional middle school READ 180 licenses and program materials to expand programming opportunities across the grade levels for Riverwood MS, Timberwood MS, and Atascocita MS. AUTHORITY FOR THIS ACTION Policy CH (Legal) authorizes the Board of Trustees to approve single source purchases of $25,000 and greater. VISION AREA ADDRESSED Superordinate Goals Common Mission and Vision Culture Collaborative, Flexible, and Inclusive Learning Personalized learning…all children will learn Strategy Accountability and data-driven decision making BACKGROUND READ 180 is an intensive reading intervention program designed to meet the needs of students whose reading achievement is significantly below the proficient level. READ 180 Stage B is a middle school program that addresses:

• Direct, explicit comprehension instruction for reading levels ranging from 2nd to 8th grade;

• Self-directed learning needs of adolescents in phonics, fluency, spelling, and vocabulary;

• Ongoing formative assessments that align with HISD middle school proficiency standards already in place; and

• Supplemental technology components for high interest / diverse text experiences.

Student

Approved


READ 180 READ 180 follows the 90-minute instructional model of organizing classroom activity around whole-group meetings and small group rotations among literacy stations in place in both the elementary and middle school reading classroom designs. READ 180 also aligns with the cohesive team building vision set forth by the middle school RELA program to strengthen its systems for instructional delivery in balanced literacy. To support the intense intervention in the areas of phonics, fluency, word study, and comprehension of struggling readers in middle school reading strategies classes, additional READ 180 licenses are requested for Riverwood, Timberwood, and Atascocita Middle Schools:

• RMS will increase participants from 25 to 50 students across all three grade levels;

• TMS will increase participants from 60 students in 7th and 8th grade to 95 students across all three grade levels; and

• AMS will increase participants from 60 students in 6th grade to 110 students in both 6th and 7th grades.

IMPACT OF THIS ACTION Dedicating Special Education funds as well as Accelerated Reading Initiative funds, these campuses will expand their current campus programs:

• RMS will double co-teach Reading Strategies sections at the 7th and 8th grade levels;

• TMS will expand co-teach sections of Reading Strategies at all three grade levels and open an additional READ 180 lab;

• AMS will expand co-teach Reading Strategies sections at the 7th grade level and open an additional READ 180 lab.

Approval of this action ensures that every student makes the academic progress necessary to show a sufficient understanding of the knowledge and skills taught and tested at grade level. BUDGET INFORMATION The $76,092.00 for additional licenses and classroom materials for three HISD middle schools will be purchased utilizing $37,121.00 of Accelerated Reading Initiative (ARI) funds from the state of Texas. Special Education funding resources will provide $38,971.00 of the total cost. (See Attachment 1 for cost proposal breakdown).


READ 180 STAFFING IMPLICATIONS No additional staff is required for the program expansion. The reading teachers who implement the READ 180 instructional design receive two days of implementation training in best practices for reading, writing, and vocabulary instruction, as well as classroom management and progress monitoring and evaluation. They will continue their professional development in the spring through a facilitated online course. This interactive course is focused on the effective use of the READ 180 software and materials to provide systematic, explicit reading instruction to struggling readers and to build teachers’ capacity as reflective practitioners. MONITORING AND REPORTING TIMELINE Several different categories of reports are possible for monitoring and reporting student progress as measured against middle school standards for reading proficiency levels. Just as the HILS establishes assessment standards for our elementary reading proficiencies, the Qualitative Reading Inventory (QRI) is used to measure and monitor reading proficiency at the middle school level. Data collected from the READ 180 system will be monitored and measured against these proficiency levels already in place for the middle school reading benchmarks. The Coordinator for Secondary English Language Arts will provide summative six-week reports on student progress for middle school principals and the middle school Special Education Coordinator, as well as, serve as the district administrator for the data collection and management of this program.

Interlocal Agreement with the City of Humble Consideration of Interlocal Agreement with City of Humble Emergency Management ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Trustees approve the Interlocal Agreement for the sharing of emergency services with the City of Humble as presented. AUTHORITY FOR THIS ACTION Board policy, Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791 Texas Government Code. VISION AREA ADDRESSED Humble ISD will be guided by a common vision and set of beliefs that are clearly understood, widely supported, and regularly updated. INFORMATION The City of Humble is currently updating its emergency management plan in accordance with federal and state regulations. Annex C of the Emergency Management Plan addresses emergency sheltering. Traditionally, Annex C planning utilized the services of the Red Cross and the Salvation Army to establish and coordinate shelters. While long term mass care services were provided by these traditional services, their rapid response resources have been stretched very thin. Following recent storm incidents in the Gulf Coast region, local authorities were forced to take hastily developed measures to provide short term assistance to victims. Consequently, less than adequate facilities were available and more resources than necessary were utilized to accomplish this mission. The City of Humble Emergency Management Division would like to explore agreements with Humble ISD to better prepare for the provision of local short term sheltering and refuge during life threatening disaster events. Such events as hurricanes or tornados will continue to affect our area. Hazardous materials accidents or floods may also result in a need for temporary refuge for victims. The City of Humble is asking Humble Independent School District to consider working with the city to provide short term refuge for disaster victims. The enclosed Interlocal Agreement includes the key provisions that dictate how a very limited number of Humble ISD facilities will be used to provide short term sheltering services. This agreement is intended to clearly identify the scope of

Interlocal Agreement

The Humble Independent School District and The City of Humble, Texas Office of Emergency Management

Parties

This Interlocal Agreement (Agreement) is entered into between the Humble Independent School District (District), an Independent School District organized under Education Code Chapter 11, and the City of Humble (City), a home rule municipality created under Texas law. This Agreement is governed by the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 791, of the Texas Government Code.

Purpose The City of Humble is required to plan and prepare for a coordinated and appropriate response in the event of a Public Emergency that may result from natural or man-made causes. During such an emergency, it may be necessary to provide for the mass, short term refuge of the residents of Humble, Texas. Prior public emergency experience with mass sheltering has shown that schools are well suited to this activity because:

1) their location is known to large numbers of individuals within the community;

2) they have large assembly areas. The City of Humble has thus concluded that the District possesses facilities that are vital to the protection of the public in the event that mass sheltering is necessary and City has exhausted its mass sheltering availability. The District agrees to make certain of its facilities available for these purposes, under the terms set out below. The District and the City of Humble both agree that this contemplated use of the facilities is a "governmental function" as defined in the Interlocal Cooperation Act.

Recitals

Whereas, the City is in need of additional facilities well suited and instrumental to the mass sheltering of its constituents in the event of a Public Emergency and is desirous of an agreement of mutual aid in the event of a Public Emergency; and

Whereas, the District is in possession of such additional facilities; stands to gain an important advantage for its students, parents, staff, and community members in the event of a Public Emergency and is desirous of receiving aid in the event of a Public Emergency.

2006 Tax Roll Approval Consideration of Approval of 2006 Tax Roll ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Trustees approve the 2006 Tax Roll as described in the attachment. AUTHORITY FOR THIS ACTION Texas Property Tax Code, Section 26.09 (e) The assessor shall enter the amount of tax determined as provided by this section in the appraisal roll and submit it to the governing body of the unit for approval. The appraisal roll with amounts of tax entered as approved by the governing body constitutes the unit’s tax roll. VISION AREA ADDRESSED Humble ISD Vision for 2010 Superordinate Goals: Humble ISD will be guided by a common vision and set of beliefs that are clearly understood, widely supported, and regularly updated. Strategy: Humble ISD will be characterized by accountability at all levels with data-driven decision making, supported in all areas by technology. BACKGROUND The Harris County Appraisal District delivered the 2006 certified tax roll to the Humble ISD on September 5, 2006. The 2006 certified tax roll of $7,449,997,743 does not include uncertified properties in the amount of $828,050,001. The taxable value ultimately certified to these properties is estimated by the chief appraiser to be $530,538,152. The District’s projection includes an additional certified value of $288,473,273. The tax roll will have supplemental accounts added each month along with roll corrections to correct accounts with the addition or removal of exemptions and/or value corrections. A monthly report of these additions and corrections is reported to the Board of Trustees with the District’s monthly financial reports. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION If the Board approves this consideration, Humble ISD will be in compliance with the Texas Property Tax Code. If the Board does not approve this consideration, the District will not be in compliance. BUDGET INFORMATION The Board adopted the 2006 Tax Rate at the September 12, 2006, regular Board Meeting. The tax rate adoption of $1.64/100 ($1.37 for M&O and $ .27 for I&S) completed the assessing process for the District’s Tax Office. With the approval of the 2006 tax roll, the District’s Tax Assessor/Collector can begin the collection process for the 2006 tax year.

Audit Report Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the Year Ended June 30, 2006, Single Audit Report for the Year Ended June 30, 2006, and Awards for the Year Ended June 30, 2005, with Consideration of the Independent Auditors’ Report included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Trustees approve the Independent Auditors’ Report by Deloitte & Touche LLP included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year ended June 30, 2006. AUTHORITY FOR THIS ACTION The Texas Education Code Section 44.008 requires that the Board of Trustees have the District’s fiscal accounts audited annually at district expense by a certified public accountant. The audit must be completed at the close of the fiscal year and a copy, approved by the Board of Trustees, must be filed with the Texas Education Agency not later than the 150th day after the end of the fiscal year for which the audit was performed. VISION AREA ADDRESSED Humble ISD Vision for 2010 Strategy: Humble ISD will be characterized by accountability at all levels with data-driven decision making, supported in all areas by technology. BACKGROUND The Independent Auditors’ Report found in the financial section of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report includes the government-wide financial statements, the governmental fund financial statements, proprietary fund financial statements, and notes to the financial statements. Although required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, Management’s Discussion and Analysis and other required supplementary information are not a part of the basic financial statements and, therefore, have not been audited. The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, provided under a separate cover, is included for the Board’s information. The independent audit of the financial statements is part of a broader, federally mandated “Single Audit” designed to meet the special needs of federal grantor agencies. The standards governing the Single Audit require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the audited government’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving the administration of federal awards. The Single Audit Report has been provided under a separate cover.

Student

Approved


Audit Report The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report will be sent to the Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO) and the Government Finance Officers’ Association (GFOA) for evaluation in their awards programs. The report will also be sent to Moody’s and Standard and Poor’s Corporations, institutional investors, and investment firms whose portfolios or whose client portfolios include the District’s bonds. The report will be posted on the District’s website for other interested parties. The Humble Independent School District has received two awards for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005: ASBO’s Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting and GFOA‘s Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting. These certificates of achievement are national awards and are the highest form of recognition in governmental accounting and financial reporting. Copies of these certificates are found on pages 10 and 11 of the 2006 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. The District has received the ASBO award for twenty consecutive years (1986 – 2005) and the GFOA award for twenty years (1985 – 1995; 1997 – 2005). We believe our 2006 report continues to conform to the Certificate program requirements of ASBO and GFOA.

BA Banker's Acceptances are short-term, noninterest-bearing notes sold at a discount andredeemed by the accepting banks at maturity for face value.

GIC A Guaranteed Investment Contract is a fixed-rate, fixed-maturity contract that is similarto a bond. However, unlike a bond, a GIC is always valued at par (face) value. This occurs because the company issuing the GIC usually is an insurance company that guarantees the investment by agreeing to pay the difference between the market valueand the book value for the issue if the investor decides to sell it. A guaranteed investmentcontract may be structured in a manner similar to a flexible repurchase agreement, whereby the investor is able to draw down the balance upon written request throughoutthe life of the contract.

MARKET Market Value is the current value of a security, which is determined by multiplying itsVALUE par (face) value by the current market price. The unrealized gain or loss on a security

can be calculated by subtracting the book value from the market value.

PURCHASE The date of the initial purchase / investment.DATE

MATURITY The date when the principal amount of a security or debt becomes due and payable.DATE

MMMF Money Market Mutual Funds are a specific type of mutual fund that invests onlyin money market instruments (i.e., short-term debt instruments such as treasurybills, commercial paper, banker's acceptances, repurchase agreements, and federal funds) as defined and registered with the Securities and ExchangeCommission. Money market mutual funds are regulated by the InvestmentCompany Act of 1940 as 2a-7 funds. They strive to maintain a $1 net assetvalue (NAV) for participants. There are three types of money market mutualfunds: treasury, governmental and prime. Money market mutual funds aredesigned to provide both safety and liquidity.

REPO A Repurchase Agreement is an investment agreement involving the purchaseof a security with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase that security at a specified price and date. Repurchase agreements may be used to earn incomeon idle cash at or near the federal funds market rate. A holder of securities sellsthem to an investor with a repurchase agreement. The buyer is in effect lendingthe seller money for the period of the agreement. The terms of the repurchaseagreement are structured to compensate the buyer. Dealers often use repurchaseagreements to finance their positions. The exception occurs when the Fed is said to be doing repurchase agreements, in this instance it is lending money, i.e., increasing bank reserves. Repurchase agreements should always be governedby an executed PSA Master Repurchase Agreement between the investor andthe dealer to reduce collateral risk.

SLMA Student Loan Marketing Association ( Sallie Mae) is a stockholder-owned corporation established by an Act of Congress in 1972. Sallie Mae is the largest source of financing and servicing for education loans in the U.S.

SLGS State and Local Government Series securities are generally used in escrow accountsfor advanced refund of bond issues and for certain other funds. Yield is restricted by the Internal Revenue Service's arbitrage regulations. SLGS are non-marketablesecurities issued by the U.S. Treasury directly to the issuer as a tool to manage yield-restricted bond proceeds. The interest rate on SLGS is selected by the purchaser (e.g., school district) based upon a maximum rate scale published dailyby the U.S. Treasury. This allows the purchaser to structure an overall rate of returnon the escrow that is less than or equal to the yield on the bond issue so that there isno violation of arbitrage restrictions. The most frequent use of SLGS is in advancerefunding transactions in which the yield on the escrow being created to defease oldbonds must not be greater than the yield on the refunding bonds sold to fund the escrow. By using SLGS, the bond issuer can structure an optimal structure in anescrow that yields less than the bond yield.

Marquis at Willow Creek

Consideration of Agreements between (1) Humble I.S.D. and Kings Point Community Association and (2) Humble I.S.D. and Reserve Community Association for Funding and Use of a Marquis at Willow Creek Elementary ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Trustees approve the (1) Agreement between Humble Independent School District and Kings Point Community Association (attached as Agreement 1) and (2) Agreement between Humble Independent School District and Reserve Community Association (attached as Agreement 2) for the funding and non-exclusive use of a new marquis to be located at Willow Creek Elementary. AUTHORITY FOR THIS ACTION CDC (Legal) provides that funds donated to the District may be used for any purpose designated by the donor that conforms to the lawful purposes of the schools that are to benefit from the donation. GKB (Local) and GKD (Local) permit the use of school facilities by non-school organizations in certain circumstances. In the case of advertising, GKB permits non-school groups to advertise on school property if approved by the superintendent or the superintendent's designee. VISION AREA ADDRESSED Humble ISD truly values the support and contribution of all our community partners as we meet the needs of schools and students in our district. Area businesses, services organizations, and individual citizens give time, energy, and financial support to help fulfill our vision of quality education for all. In the spirit of partnership, Humble ISD gives back to our partners by sharing and contributing within our community. BACKGROUND In the past, the Kings Point and Reserve Community Associations have announced their meetings to the community by placing temporary signs at large intersections within Kings Point, including the intersection in front of Willow Creek Elementary. The Community Associations have expressed their desire to donate $3,000.00 each to the District for the purpose of erecting a marquis at Willow Creek Elementary School. The Community Associations are requesting that the District grant them the non-exclusive right to have an announcement regarding their monthly meetings displayed on the marquis, as provided in the Agreements (see attachments 1 and 2). The Community Associations are also asking the District to agree to permit the marquis to be used for announcements of general public interest to the school community as requested by the Community Associations. The Board of Trustees is

Approved


Marquis at Willow Creek being asked to consider these Agreements with the Community Associations because of the public nature of the donation and the marquis. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION Willow Creek Elementary does not currently have a marquis. Approval of the Agreements would provide the District with funds to erect a marquis that may be used to make general school and community announcements to the families of the students who live in the community and who attend Willow Creek Elementary. BUDGET INFORMATION None. STAFFING IMPLICATIONS No additional staffing is anticipated. MONITORING AND REPORTING TIMELINE District personnel shall monitor all progress of the marquis, from design to construction. The District shall coordinate with the campus administrators and the Community Associations to implement school and community announcements on the marquis.

DD for High School No. 6 Consideration of Design Development Documents for High School No. 6 ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Trustees approve the design development documents for High School No. 6 as prepared by PBK Architects, Inc. AUTHORITY FOR THIS ACTION Humble ISD policy CS (Legal) states that design development documents shall meet the facility standards established by the state Board of Education including compliance with the Standard Building Code and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Also, Board policy CW (Legal) states that a registered architect shall prepare plans and specifications for new facility construction when costs will exceed $100,000. VISION AREA ADDRESSED Approval of design development documents addresses the 2010 Vision areas of Operations and Learning. Humble ISD will operate on a continuous improvement basis and instruction and learning will be personalized for every student. Construction of High School No. 6 will support these areas of the 2010 Vision. BACKGROUND At its meeting on February 14, 2006, the Board authorized PBK Architects, Inc. to provide architectural services to program and develop the design for High School No. 6. This new facility is a repeat of the design of Atascocita High School. The exterior architectural character of High School No. 6 will be revised, but the interior design will be essentially the same as Atascocita High School. In the near future, PBK architects will interview administrators, teachers, coaches and other staff members from Atascocita High School to obtain the latest suggestions for improving the design. Some enhancements have already been incorporated into the design based on feedback from early experiences with Atascocita High School. The design development documents, which are being presented for approval, are a result of the collaboration of the design professionals and the school district’s administrators and staff members. High School No. 6 is proposed to be located on 67 acres of land in the Spring Trace Development on the southwest side of Beltway 8 near the proposed extension of W. Lake Houston Parkway. This is an excellent location for this facility to address future growth in the southern portion of the District. This school is projected to be complete

Approved


DD for High School No. 6 in April 2009. The scope of this project includes the following:

1. Approximately 435,000 square feet to house a comprehensive, 9th through 12th grade high school for 2400 students.

2. Athletic facilities and play fields, auditorium, natatorium, career and vocational education facilities, food court and learning resource center.

3. Parking for students, staff and visitors. 4. Master plan development of approximately 67 acres. Utilities and storm water

detention are provided by the land developer. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION Failure to approve the design development documents at this time may jeopardize the District’s ability to substantially complete this project by April 15, 2009. If, however, the design development documents are approved and accepted at this meeting, PBK will proceed with the preparation of Construction Documents. BUDGET INFORMATION Funding for this project will come from bonds sold in Phase 3 of the 2005 Bond Program which is scheduled for January 2007. The total project cost is estimated at $64.1 million, not including the cost of the land. The budgeted construction cost for this project is $54.4 million. The estimated budget for technology, furniture and equipment is $7.0 million. STAFFING IMPLICATIONS The school will be staffed according to Humble ISD staffing guidelines. MONITORING AND REPORTING TIMELINE Members of the Humble ISD Construction Department, along with the architect, will monitor the progress to ensure that the work will be performed in compliance with the specifications. Periodic reports will be provided to the Board and administration. In addition, the District is currently making use of its web site to keep the community informed about the progress of all bond projects. ATTACHMENTS PBK Architects will hand out a separate Design Development booklet at the Board meeting on October 10, 2006 and make a presentation regarding these concepts to the trustees.

CM at Risk Method for High School No. 6 Consideration of Construction Manager at Risk Method for Construction of High School No. 6 ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Trustees approves the alternative project delivery method of Construction Manager at Risk for construction of High School No. 6. AUTHORITY FOR THIS ACTION Board policy, Facilities Construction, CV (Local), requires the Board of Trustees to approve any method of project delivery other than Competitive Sealed Proposals. VISION AREA ADDRESSED Humble ISD’s 2010 Vision states that the District will operate on a continuous improvement basis. BACKGROUND Board Policy, CV (Local), states that Competitive Sealed Proposal shall be Humble ISD’s standard (default) method of construction project delivery. This method has been used successfully on many projects and is the preferred method. However, in special circumstances, it is the opinion of the Superintendent, Construction Department, design professionals and other local school districts that Construction Manager at Risk (CM at Risk) provides a better value to the District. For this project, the benefits of using CM at Risk are as follows:

• Allows selection of the most appropriate and best qualified general contractor • The contractor will provide intermediate cost estimates and then will provide a

final guaranteed maximum price (GMP) • This process allows the District to obtain indicative pricing early and thereby

improves our ability to hedge pricing against inflation in the construction industry

• The District will work in conjunction with the general contractor in a team relationship to pursue cost saving measures

• Recent competitive sealed proposals in the Houston area for large construction projects have yielded few offerors and therefore the pricing has been less competitive

• If, after several iterations of GMP updates, the District feels that a better value can be obtained through a competitive proposal process then the CM at Risk

Student

Approved


CM at Risk Method for High School No. 6 relationship will be terminated in favor of a competitive sealed proposal process

In discussions with PBK, Humble ISD has learned some strategies that other districts have recently pursued. This CM at Risk project delivery method is recommended with the understanding that if the construction manager cannot provide an acceptable GMP, the district will terminate the CM at Risk contract and put the project back out as a competitive sealed proposal project. PBK has used this process successfully on a recent project with Conroe ISD. As the construction manager develops a GMP, the district will receive real time numbers of what it will cost to construct the school. If the construction manager cannot provide an acceptable GMP and the project is subsequently released as a competitive sealed proposal project, the district will have a good idea that either the scope of work needs to be reduced or the construction budget will need to be increased prior to receiving proposals. So, even if the construction manager contract is terminated, the district will have acquired important pricing information and will only have to pay the construction manager for pre-construction services which should be $30,000. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION Approval of this recommendation will allow District personnel to proceed to the next step of negotiating a CM at Risk contract with a construction manager. BUDGET INFORMATION The construction budget for this project is $54.4 million. The fee for architectural services and the cost of furniture, fixtures and equipment are not included in the construction budget, but are accounted for within the overall project budget. The CM at Risk fee includes all costs associated with the general conditions of the contract as well as the overhead and profit for the construction manager. Actual CM at Risk fee will be determined using a one-step method to select a general contractor through a Request for Proposals. After Board approval of a construction manager, a GMP will be determined and brought back to the Board for consideration at its November or December 2006 Board meeting. STAFFING IMPLICATIONS None MONITORING AND REPORTING TIMELINE Periodic reports will be provided to the Board and administration.

CM at Risk for High School No. 6 Consideration of Construction Manager at Risk for High School No. 6 ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The Superintendent recommends that the Board of Trustees approve Gilbane Building Company of Houston, Texas as the Construction Manager at Risk for construction of new High School No. 6. AUTHORITY FOR THIS ACTION Board policy, Facilities Construction, CV (Local), requires the Board of Trustees to approve construction proposal awards. VISION AREA ADDRESSED Humble ISD’s 2010 Vision states that the District will operate on a continuous improvement basis. BACKGROUND The 2005 Bond Study Committee reviewed the need for High School No. 6 and recommended its construction in a report to the Board dated January 18, 2005. The bond referendum, passed in April 2005, identified and allocated funds for the construction of High School No. 6. Funds for High School No. 6 will be available after the sale of Phase 3 bonds for the 2005 Bond Program. Work is expected to begin in February 2007 and be completed by April 15, 2009. The construction manager will begin working with the construction team immediately and will provide valuable input to help expedite the construction schedule and identify cost saving measures. Board Policy, Facilities Construction, CV (Local), states that Competitive Sealed Proposal shall be Humble ISD’s standard (default) method of construction project delivery. This method has been used successfully on many projects and is the preferred method. However, in special circumstances, it is the opinion of the Superintendent, Construction Department, design professionals and other local school districts that Construction Manager at Risk (CM at Risk) provides a better value to the District. The Construction Manager at Risk project delivery method for this project was recommended at the Board meeting on October 10, 2006. Competitive sealed proposals were received from four (4) construction managers at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, October 2, 2006 at which time the proposals were opened

CM at Risk for High School No. 6 and read publicly. Based on the selection criteria published with the Request for Proposals, two companies were chosen for interviews. On October 3, 2006 interviews were held and it was determined that Gilbane represented the best value to the District. Gilbane scored highest on the published selection criteria. Based on the interviews, Gilbane was considered the best value to the District for the following reasons:

- Significant amount of experience in the Houston area with construction of high schools and with the CM at Risk method

- Gilbane has a very strong estimating department and have a history of recommending cost saving measures on large construction projects

- The Project Manager and Job Superintendent proposed have significant experience on projects of similar size and scope

- The proposed project team are currently constructing a very similar high school for Clear Creek ISD

Current High School Projects by Gilbane Southwest Region

– Clear Creek ISD High School No. 4 ($54.1 million) – Spring ISD Dekaney High School ($55.9 million) – Northeast ISD Lady Bird Johnson High School ($66.8) – Cy-Fair ISD High School No. 10 (negotiating contract)

Gilbane was formed over 133 years ago and has performed work for Bryan ISD, Clear Creek ISD, Cy-Fair ISD, Houston ISD, Katy ISD and other school districts in this area. Gilbane does approximately $300 to $400 million of construction per year in the Southwest Region. Details of all proposals are provided on the attached Proposal Tabulation and Evaluation Sheet. IMPACT OF THIS ACTION Approval of this recommendation will allow the construction manager to immediately begin preparing a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for this project. The Architect and the Construction Department will work with the construction manager to develop a GMP which will be presented to the Board for approval within a few months. Upon approval of a GMP, the construction manager will immediately begin procuring materials to prepare for the start of this project. BUDGET INFORMATION The construction budget for this project is $54.4 million. The fee for architectural services and the cost of furniture, fixtures and equipment are not included in the construction budget, but are accounted for within the overall project budget.


CM at Risk for High School No. 6 The CM at Risk fee of 2.25 percent includes the overhead and profit for the construction manager. Costs associated with the general conditions of the contract will be fixed at 3.21percent and will be paid from the project construction budget. STAFFING IMPLICATIONS None MONITORING AND REPORTING TIMELINE Periodic reports will be provided to the Board and administration. In addition, the District is currently making use of its web site to keep the community informed about the progress of all bond projects.
