  12. Your School Facilities Program:Planning for Success

  13. Your School Facilities Program:Planning for Success Key Components • District’s Vision • Stakeholder Needs • State Agency Roles • Facility Master Plan • Implementation Plan

  14. Implementation Plan Typical Components • Management Plan • Funding Plan • Communications Plan • Project Development Plan

  15. Management Plan • Outlines the process and organizational structure • Identifies key team members and manpower needs • Identifies the infrastructure/support needs of the District to manage a major capital facility program For example: • Document Management • Project Accounting • Contract Documents • Request for Qualifications

  16. Funding Plan Typical Components • Prioritized Projects • Master Program Budget • Master Program Schedule • Cashflow Plan • State Funds and Available Resources • Current and Future Resources

  17. The “Balancing Act” Mandated Priorities Health & Safety Repairs Stakeholder Needs Board Recommendations Facility Master Plan Recommendations Staff Recommendations Voter Expectations Prioritization of Projects

  18. Community & Stakeholder Priorities • Keep our schools safe, drug-free and gang-free. With more than 4,000 students on a single high school campus, Long Beach has some of the largest high schools in the state. By creating smaller learning environments, teachers and principals can better monitor students, provide more individualized attention, and instill discipline and respect. • Expand career education and job training programs. The economic health of our area depends on our schools turning out a trained work force that will be attractive to industry. This will ensure that local students have access to rewarding, high-paying jobs.

  19. Community & Stakeholder Priorities • Build more classrooms. More than 28,000 students attend class every day in portable classrooms, many of which are outdated and deteriorating. By building more classrooms, we can ensure that local students learn in high quality classrooms, with access to computers and other technology. • Strengthen and repair school buildings vulnerable to serious damage in a major earthquake. Our schools met earthquake standards at the time they were built, but newer standards have been enacted since then. We must retrofit school buildings that would be vulnerable to serious damage in a major earthquake.

  20. Master Program Budget • By project • By type of project • Soft and hard costs • Funding sources • Object codes • OPSC audit categories

  21. Master Program Schedule • Stages of a project • planning, design, agency approvals, pre-bid, bid, construction, occupancy, close-out • Manpower needs • Critical points in program implementation • Tracks and monitors progress as well as delays • Changes to schedule

  22. Cash Flow Plan Objective: Maximize available resources both state and local funding. Getting the biggest “bang for your buck”! Based on: • Timing of anticipated needs (# of bond series, state funds, etc.) • List of prioritized projects • Estimated timeline for agency approvals • Bid & Construction timelines • Anticipated receipt of funding* (state funds and local funds-bond funds)

  23. Communications Plan Objective: Inform stakeholders on the progress of projects and bond expenditures. Typical Items: • Mailers • Website updates • Board updates • Community updates

  24. Project Development Plan The Pipeline of Planning: • Evolution of a project • Scoping the project • Criteria • Budget • Critical timelines • Project delivery (planning & construction)

  25. What will Impact the Project Prioritiesof Your School Facility Program? Scope of Work v. Project Budget

  26. What will Impact the Construction Timeof Your School Facility Program? • Project Planning (Due Diligence Requirements): Environmental, Design, Agency Approvals, Contract/Bid, Board Approvals and Construction Delays • Availability of Funds and Resources (State & Bond) • Construction Market • Cashflow Plan • The Unpredictables
