       E-1. Award of Contract - Construction Services Emergency Projects VI - Bid No. 2012-06-FC
Approve the recommendation to award contracts for construction services emergency projects VI, as indicated in Exhibit 2.

This item awards contracts to: Advanced Roofing, Inc.; C&F Electric of Ft. Lauderdale, Inc.; D. Stephenson, Inc.; Decon Environmental & Engineering, Inc.; Fastrack Management & Consulting, Inc.; H.A. Contracting Corp.; Koldaire, Inc.; M.A.C. Construction, Inc.; MBR Construction, Inc.; Namin Construction Co., Inc.; Tecta America South Florida, Inc.; and Universal Electric of Florida, Inc.

These awards establish term contracts for construction services in accordance with the requirements of the bidding documents in an effort to establish a pool of qualified contractors to respond in the event of a declared emergency.  The term of the contract shall be for three (3) years with a one (1) year renewal at owner's option, and/or contract amounts as indicated in the recommendation in Exhibit 2.

Document 00200, Instructions to Bidders, specifies that the Agreement is to be provided to the contractor after the award is approved by the Board.  Therefore, the Agreement is executed after award and is not available at the time of award.

Copies of the complete Exhibits 3 - 14 are available online via the Broward County Public Schools eAgenda at:  http://eagenda3.broward.k12.fl.us/cgi-bin/WebObjects/eAgenda

       E-2. Third Amendment to Agreement for Request for Proposals (RFP) 29-067N - Fingerprinting and Background Check Services
Approve the Third Amendment to Agreement between The School Board of Broward County, Florida, (SBBC), and MorphoTrust USA, Inc., f/k/a Integrated Biometric Technology, LLC.

SBBC entered into an agreement with Integrated Biometric Technology, LLC, d/b/a L-1 Enrollment Services, to provide a turn-key solution for fingerprinting and badging services for vendors, consultants, contractors, after care workers, and construction workers (non-employees).  As a result of a merger, Biometric Technology, LLC, changed its name to MorphoTrust USA, Inc.

Section 1012.467, Florida Statutes, was amended on July 1, 2013, requiring the Florida Department of Education to create a uniform, statewide identification badge that is to be worn by non-instructional contractors signifying that a contractor has met the screening requirements of this section.  Section 1012.467, Florida Statutes, addresses non-instructional contractors who are permitted access to school grounds when students are present, whose performance of the contract with the school or School Board is not anticipated to result in direct contact with students, and for whom any unanticipated contact would be infrequent and incidental.

Additionally, the statute indicates that the uniform, statewide identification badge be valid for a period of five (5) years, as compared to the annual expiration of a contractor badge issued by this District under Section 1012.465, Florida Statutes.  Both sections, 1012.465 and 1012.467, Florida Statutes, deal with the background screening of contractors; however, each statute identifies a separate contractor type.  Aside from the disqualifying offenses, the difference between the two contractor types is that one contractor is not anticipated to result in direct contact with students, and for whom any unanticipated contact would be infrequent and incidental, and the other contractor has direct contact with students, or has access to, or control of, school funds.  Finally, Section 1012.467, Florida Statutes, required the Florida Department of Education to establish a uniform cost that a school district may charge a non-instructional contractor for receipt of the identification badge.

On July 18, 2013, the Florida Department of Education issued a Technical Assistance Paper outlining the specifications and maximum price for the uniform, statewide identification badge.  Due to the addition of the uniform, statewide badge, maximum allowable fee, and necessary modifications to the current solution, Attachment A of the Third Amendment to Agreement, ?Pricing Schedule?, has been modified to accommodate these changes.

The original Agreement was approved by the Board on December 15, 2009, the First Amendment to Agreement was executed on or around April 17, 2012, and the Second Amendment to Agreement was approved on May 7, 2013.  

The Third Amendment to Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.

A copy of the complete Exhibit 4 First Amendment to Agreement, is available online via the Broward County Public Schools eAgenda at:  

http://eagenda3.broward.k12.fl.us/cgi-bin/WebObjects/eAgenda

The Qualification Selection Evaluation Committee (QSEC) convened on October 16, 2013, to review staff's recommendations in response to the submitted pre-qualification applications.  Upon review of staff's recommendations, QSEC makes the recommendations to the Superintendent of Schools indicated in Exhibit 2.

       L-24. Class Size Reduction - Post October Survey 2 Scheduling Flexibility for Newly Enrolled Students
Authorize the temporary assignments of students enrolling after the October membership survey to existing classes in excess of maximum class size limits pursuant to Florida Statute section 1003.03(2)(b) as doing otherwise, is impractical, educationally unsound, and/or disruptive to the affected students.

Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, Florida Statute 1003.03(2)(b) authorized flexibility in class assignments for students enrolling after the October membership survey. A student who enrolls after the October survey may be assigned to an existing class even though such assignment may result in the class temporarily exceeding the maximum number of students, if the School Board makes a determination that it is impractical, educationally unsound or disruptive to student learning not to assign the student to the class. Approval of this item, thereby making such a determination, gives flexibility in the 2013-14 school year by allowing up to three (3) students above the maximum to be assigned to a teacher in kindergarten through grade 3, and up to five (5) students above the maximum to be assigned to a teacher in grades 4 through 12.  In addition to the Board approval of the Scheduling Flexibility for Students Enrolled after Survey 2 Date Certain, the District must develop a plan providing that schools will be in full compliance with class size maximums by the next October student membership survey. These School Board certified compliance plans are due to the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) by February 1st.

CUBE was established by the National School Boards Association (NSBA) in 1967. CUBE is the Urban component of NSBA's National Affiliate program.  CUBE addresses the unique needs of School Board Members of the largest cities in the United States.  

The benefits CUBE provides for large urban districts include:  specialized federal lobbying and legal advocacy via a professional staff in Washington, D.C.; ad hoc topical reports especially for and about CUBE districts; survey findings, which profile our nation's urban schools; specialized forums to facilitate sharing of concerns, ideas, and "best practices" in the urban school setting; news from the urban public education arena via a bi-monthly newsletter; access to contacts and data from other urban districts; and in-depth analysis on issues in periodic reports and monographs.

Belonging to CUBE provides the district with added strength to address educational issues at a national level.  When combined with membership in the Council of Great City Schools, the district becomes empowered with synergy to advance academic initiatives, educational opportunities and legislative changes which are needed by large urban districts like Broward County.  Of the 54 members of the Council of Great City Schools, 37 also belong to CUBE.

       DD-4. Internal Audit Report - Current Status Update of the Review of the Palmview Elementary School Project #1131-23-01/P000207 New Food Service Multipurpose Building, Renovations and Site Improvements
Receive Internal Audit Report ? Current Status Update of the Review of the Palmview Elementary School Project #1131-23-01/P000207 New Food Service Multipurpose Building, Renovations and Site Improvements.

This Current Status Update of the Review of the Palmview Elementary School Project No. 1131-23-01/P000207 New Food Service Building, Renovations and Site Improvements issued in June 2012, was performed in accordance with the 2013-2014 Audit Plan. The report consisted of a review of the Current Status responses from management and analysis of the supporting documentation associated with their reported actions to date.

The Current Status contains updates from the OF&C on our recommendations from the original audit. Of the original four (4) findings, it is the opinion of the Office of the Chief Auditor (OCA) that two findings are open, (#1 and #4), Finding #2 is incomplete, and Finding #3 is implemented, but not in use.

In Finding #1 in the original Audit Report, OCA recommended that OF&C should deny the Construction Manager, Hewett-Kier any payment for delay claims (compensation for Extended General Conditions). In this Current Status, we documented that OF&C has prepared a proposed Construction Change Order-Item # 027 which is intended to seek School Board approval to pay the Construction Manager, Hewett-Kier $298,495.00 as compensation for 285 days of extended General Conditions.  OCA disagrees with these payments for reasons documented in the original Audit Report and the Current Status Matrix.  As OF&C is intent on paying the Construction Manager and OCA maintains that no payment for delay claims should be made, it was the opinion of OCA that the resolution and disposition of this issue needed to be made by the Office of the General Counsel.

Subsequent to the completion of this Current Status Report, the Office of the General Counsel was requested to provide a legal opinion regarding the Construction Manager?s delay claims and associated compensation.  On September 27, 2013 the OCA received the Office of the General Counsel's Legal Opinion Memorandum that affirmed the OCA's recommendation to deny the Construction Manager's delay claims and associated compensation.  

The Audit Committee reviewed and approved this report for transmittal to the School Board during the Committee?s October 10, 2013 meeting.

The source of funds to perform the Internal Audit Report was the General Fund budget allocation for the Office of  the Chief Auditor.  There is no additional financial impact to the School District.

       FF-3. Agreement between The School Board of Broward County, Florida and After School Programs, Inc.
Approve the Continuation Agreement between The School Board of Broward County, Florida and After School Programs, Inc.  The contract period is August 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014.

The School Board of Broward County, Florida (SBBC) and After School Programs, Inc. (ASP) are in the fifth year of their five-year partnership to operate a 21st Century Community Learning Center (CCLC) Program at Watkins Elementary School. The agreement details the number of students served at the site and the days/operating hours of the program during the school year.

During the 2013-2014 school year students at Watkins Elementary School will be provided afterschool enrichment and remediation learning activities that will compliment and enhance the school day with reading, language arts, mathematics and science curriculum.  Engaging, non-traditional, project-based learning activities for personal enrichment will be implemented in the areas of:  arts & music, health & wellness, fitness & sports, tutoring and mentoring.

A portion of the 21st CCLC funds will be used to hire an outside evaluator to conduct an ongoing formative evaluation.  This data will be used by the school and ASP to ensure the program's compliance with its objectives.

The agreement is being brought before the Board at this time, as the SBBC was only notified by the FLDOE of its official award of the grant on October 15, 2013.  This is the first Board Meeting for which we could bring this agreement forward.  ASP has agreed to continue providing services to our students.   

This agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Office of the General Counsel.

The financial impact to the District is $105,605.  The source of funds is the 21st CCLC Grant.
