In accordance with the professional services selection procedures (policy 7265) adopted by the Wake County Board of Education August 9, 2005, the selection committee recommends the selection of the construction management at risk firm of Centex Construction Company for Cary High School CIP 2006 addition/renovation project. On November 21, 2006 the Board of Education approved a number of construction management at risk firms for various projects. Cary High construction manager was not announced, pending negotiations about the PLAN 2004 project. Fiscal Implications: Construction Management fees will be negotiated in accordance with professional services procedures using the Board approved construction manager at risk contract.

2. RESOLUTION: CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK SELECTION: BUGG

ELEMENTARY

Resolution is presented to waive the traditional Construction Manager at Risk selection process and to select Clancy and Theys Construction Company for the Construction Management at Risk contract for CIP 2006 project at Bugg Elementary. This request is in accordance with NCGS 143-64.32, which allows the exemption of the statutory professional services selection process. The specific reason for this exemption is that the selection teams have been through four selection processes in the last year, the last of which included interviews of fourteen (14) Construction Manager at Risk teams. Of the top ranked firms that have performed within budget and on schedule over the last couple of years, Clancy and Theys has received the least volume of work from the school system. This selection will balance workload, resulting in shortened construction time, reduced costs, and will help expedite the project. Staff recommends proceeding with the negotiation of a Construction Manager at Risk contract with Clancy and Theys Construction Company. Fiscal Implications: None at this time. Recommendation for Action: Board approval is requested.

3. RESOLUTION: E-20 ELEMENTARY DESIGNER SELECTION

An early selection is requested in order to facilitate preliminary site design in coordination with Wake County and the City of Raleigh so that rough grading can be completed as part of the county's land-fill closure project. This request is in accordance with NCGS 143-64.32, which allows the exemption of the statutory designer selection process. The specific reason for this exemption is that this is a third re-use of the East Garner Elementary prototype. This will shorten design time, reduce cost, and help expedite the project. Staff recommends proceeding with the negotiation of a design contract with Pearce Brinkley Cease & Lee, PA. Fiscal Implications: None at this time. Recommendation for Action: Board approval is requested.

4. RESOLUTION: E-34 ELEMENTARY DESIGNER SELECTION

This request is in accordance with NCGS 143-64.32, which allows the exemption of the statutory designer selection process. The specific reason for this exemption is that this is a first re-use of the E-22 Cary Park Area Elementary prototype. This will shorten design time, reduce cost, and help expedite the project.

HUMAN RESOURCES

1. PARTNERSHIP WITH SLIPPERY ROCK UNIVERSITY TO PROVIDE STUDENT

TEACHING EXPERIENCES IN WCPSS YEAR-ROUND CALENDAR

Staff from Slippery Rock University (SRU) in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, a nationally accredited teacher
education college, have proposed a partnership with the Wake County Public School System (WCPSS),
which will enable elementary education and elementary/special education majors to complete field
experiences and secondary education majors to complete student teaching in WCPSS year-round
elementary and middle schools (existing, not converting year-round schools) during the summer of 2007.
Advantages for WCPSS include the following:
In contrast, to North Carolina's teacher shortage and increasingly competitive demand for teachers, Pennsylvania has an oversupply of teachers and thus, many Slippery Rock University (SRU) graduates seek employment with WCPSS.
The student teaching and field experiences will provide WCPSS administrators the opportunity to assess SRU student teachers for employability.
SRU has had a similar partnership with the Clark County Public School System in Nevada, which has employed 156 SRU alumni since the inception of the partnership in 1996.
The presence of high quality SRU student teachers and field students in WCPSS classrooms will have a positive impact on student learning and increase opportunities for individualized instruction and co-teaching.
Fiscal Implications: Stipends for cooperating teachers and all costs for student housing and university supervision will be paid by Slippery Rock University (SRU). Considering national estimates for recruiting highly qualified teachers are as high as $5,000 - $11,000/teacher, the SRU proposal provides excellent no-cost recruitment opportunities for WCPSS. Recommendation for Action: Please approve as presented.

FACILITIES

1. RESOLUTION: QUARTERLY FUNDING FOR SCHOOL BUILDING PROGRAM (PLAN

2004)

Resolution requests funds for the PLAN 2004 School Building Program previously approved by the Board. This request will provide the PLAN 2004 portion of Program Management funds for fiscal year 2007-2008, Commissioning, and System-Wide Improvement funds. Fiscal Implications: Total of this appropriation request is $4,330,901. Appropriations for PLAN 2004 to date total $535,665,099. The total PLAN 2004 appropriations including this request, equals $539,996,000. This completes the PLAN 2004 appropriations. Total funding of $539,996,000 for PLAN 2004 combined with prior building program savings of $24,447,749 brings the program total to $564,443,749. Recommendation for Action: Board approval is requested.

2. RESOLUTION: LONG-RANGE BUILDING PROGRAM FUNDING REALLOCATION

(PLAN 2004)

Resolution requests reallocation of PLAN 2004 Commissioning and System-Wide Improvements funds to Program Contingency. Some projects bid under budget and were able to fund the commissioning cost within the project budget. Therefore these funds are not needed. The System-Wide Improvements funds were for system-wide projects that had received partial funding from PLAN 2000 and therefore the PLAN 2004 money is available for reallocation. Total reallocation amount is $481,163. Fiscal Implications: No additional appropriation of funding is necessary. Recommendation for Action: Board approval is requested.

3. RESOLUTION: SECOND QUARTERLY FUNDING REQUEST FOR SCHOOL BUILDING

PROGRAM (CIP 2006)

Resolution requests funds for the CIP 2006 School Building Program previously approved by the Board. This second request will provide funding of projects scheduled for completions in 2008-2010, in accordance with the master schedule. The Board of Education approved the first request on November 21, 2006. The Board of Commissioners ultimately approved that request on February 5, 2007. Fiscal Implications: The total CIP 2006 Building Program amount is $1,055,874,837. Total of this second quarterly appropriation request is $142,622,153. CIP 2006 appropriations to date total $372,877,214. The total CIP 2006 appropriation, including this request, equals $515,499,367. Recommendation for Action: Board approval is requested.

4. RESOLUTION: LONG-RANGE BUILDING PROGRAM FUNDING REALLOCATION (CIP

(CIP 2006)

Resolution requests three reallocation actions: (1) reallocation of $350,000 of E-22 Elementary School funds to the Wendell and East Cary Conversion project. Additional funds are needed to transform the Wakelon Modular School, on Highway 97 in Wendell, into the Wendell Middle start-up project for the school scheduled to open in 2007 on that site. The full cost of the E-22 elementary school was included in CIP 2006; however, funds, in the amount of $5,169,177 will be available in the project, because the developer will contribute its remaining funding to the school system. These funds will be reallocated at a future Board meeting to other CIP 2006 needs for property acquisition or other critical projects. (2) This resolution also requests reallocation of permit fee costs from eight CIP 2006 projects into the Building Permit Fee project. (3) In addition, the resolution requests reallocation of the E-29 Elementary School funding to the E-34 Elementary School, so that E-34 may be opened in 2009. Funding for E-29 was accelerated by the Board of Commissioners on 8 January 2007; however, since E-29 (to be located on the north campus of East Wake High School) will not be available for construction until 2009, E-34 has been designated as the alternate site to meet elementary school needs in that area in 2009. The amount to be reallocated from E-29 to E-34 is $24,844,092. Fiscal Implications: No additional appropriation of funding is necessary. Recommendation for Action: Board approval is requested.
