SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Design Development for Lopez ESE Center Modular Addition and Expenditure for Modular Buildings
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A portion of Lopez ESE Center is currently housed in obsolete and non-economically repairable portable facilities. District staff selected  Long & Associates Architects/Engineers, Inc. and Halfacre Construction Company from the approved Continuing Services Consultants list to provide design and construction management services for a project to replace the portables with new modular buildings. The new facility will include six modular buildings providing clinic, classroom, dining room, storage and office space.

Approval of design development as illustrated in the attachment will allow the design professional to proceed with construction documents. Due to the long lead time for delivery of the modular buildings, approval to acquire the modular buildings in advance of guaranteed maximum price (GMP) approval is also requested. Project completion is scheduled for August 2014.
