EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The District was previously awarded a grant for replacement of an existing School-Based Health Center Clinic housed in an obsolete portable on the campus of Hunter's Green Elementary School. The $500,000 grant was awarded under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Grant for School-Based Health Centers Capital Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration. The grant provides for replacement of the portable with a 1,728 square foot modular building housing exam rooms, a dispensary, restrooms, offices, and a conference/training area.

District staff selected Long & Associates Architects/Engineers Inc. from the approved Continuing Services Consultants list to provide design services. The project was advertised and bids received (see attached bid tabulation). Award of the contract for construction to the low bidder, Halfacre Construction Company is recommended.
