Approval of Annual Renewal of the Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) for Dual Enrollment Programs

Submitted by: Funding: Michelle G. Marshall, General Counsel N/A

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Governing Board approve the annual renewal of the Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) for Dual Enrollment Programs held at high schools for the 2020-2021 school year:

BACKGROUND:

Each year the MCCCD provides site-specific instructions in courses that afford SUSD students the opportunity for college credit in addition to their graduation requirements. MCCC agrees to pay School District $1,000 per annualized Full-Time Student Equivalent (“FTSE”) and an additional $300 per annualized FTSE for ongoing use of computer labs and occupational and science lab equipment and supplies (pending full funding of dual enrollment in the fiscal year 2020/2021 budget). The purpose of those payments is to compensate School District for the reasonable cost of instructional services, facilities, and materials used in the MCCCD courses covered by this Agreement. MCCC will calculate annualized FTSE by dividing the total number of student credit hours, as of the official count day as specified in applicable state law, by 30. If State aid to community colleges for dual enrollment be reduced or eliminated, stipend amounts will necessarily be re-negotiated. There is no cost to the District for this IGA.

Approve Upgrade of District Local Area Network Phase 2 (Middle Schools, Yavapai and Desert Canyon Elementary)

Submitted by: Funding: Debi Spaulding, Chief Systems Officer Capital Override

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Governing Board approve the procurement for the E-rate Local Area Network Upgrade for Middle School and Yavapai school sites in the amount of $309,778 to CDW Government LLC. E-rate SPIN 143005588. This pricing includes tax. The purchase will be made through Mohave ESC 151-CDWG-1002, National IPA/TCPN Agreement #R160201.

BACKGROUND: At each school site we have a fiber backbone consisting of OM1 fiber that connects equipment in our Main Distribution Frame (MDF) to the equipment in Intermediate Distribution Frames (IDF) located in the outlying buildings on the campus. The SUSD Local Area Network backbone currently has connection speeds of 1Gbps. This proposal will install new fiber (six strands) and new optical interfaces between the MDF and IDF’s in our school buildings that will allow for speeds of 10Gbps between buildings. Our plan is to begin work on this project for the Middle School, Desert Canyon ES and Yavapai sites in July of 2020, complete as much of the work as possible prior to the start of the school year, with completion during the fall semester. We have filed a Form 471 with the Universal Service Administrative Co., who administers the E-rate program. Upon approval, they will fund 50% of eligible parts and services up to the amount in the column titled “Anticipated E-rate Funding”.

This purchase was procured by posting a 470 to the USAC’s E-rate site and to AZ Purchasing. The district received responses from CDW, ENS, Kearney, Logicalis and Vector. A committee was formed for the review of the responses. The committee determined the most advantageous solution for SUSD was provided was through CDW, Mohave ESC 151-CDWG-1002 contract, National IPA/TCPN Agreement #R160201. The Governing Board has previously approved the use of the Mohave cooperative contract and staff has determined the use of these contracts represents best value to the District. Note: Desert Canyon Elementary is included in this phase because it is best to upgrade the MS and K-5 at the same time. Yavapai is included due to significant issues with their current fiber.

Approve the Award of Request for Proposal No. 21010 —Kitchen & Cafeteria Equipment Parts & Repair

Submitted by: Funding: Jeff Gadd, CFO

510

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Governing Board approve the multiple vendor award of RFP No. 21010 for Kitchen & Cafeteria Equipment Parts & Repair to Arrowhead, American Refrigeration, Byassee and Andrews Refrigeration for fiscal year 2020-2021 and authorize four (4) additional one-year renewals. Estimated expenditures budgeted for the upcoming fiscal year are $120,000.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of the Request for Proposal is to seek proposals from qualified vendors for Kitchen & Cafeteria Equipment Parts & Repair. The Nutrition Service Department operates 30 kitchens in the District. Each kitchen stores up to a week’s worth of food in freezers and refrigerators. It is not uncommon for these units to malfunction during District closures when staff is unavailable to make repairs. Unfortunately, when this occurs, the Department can lose food inventory which can cost thousands of dollars. Awarded vendors will be called to make these emergency repairs, as well as any repair that District personnel are unable to perform. On May 5, 2020 the RFP solicitation was released. Proposals were sent to thirty-four (34) prospective vendors, on May 22, 2020 at 1:00 p.m proposals were received from eight (8) firms. On June 2, 2020 copies of the proposal were made available to each member of the Evaluation Committee for review and evaluation. All responses met the criteria set forth in the Request for Proposal and were presented to the Committee for review, evaluation and recommendation. For this procurement, the Evaluation Committee consisted of Patti Bilbrey, Director Nutrition Services, Brian Cassidy, Facilities Services, and Aimee Morgan, Fiscal Support Coordinator. It is the recommendation of the evaluation committee to issue a multiple vendor award to Kitchen & Cafeteria Equipment Parts & Repair to Arrowhead, American Refrigeration, Byassee and Andrews Refrigeration. This contract shall be valid for fiscal year 2020-2021 with an option to renew for four (4) additional one-year terms not to exceed a total of five (5). The award is contingent upon the availability of funds for each fiscal year and overall satisfaction with the services provided. For this procurement, it was necessary to compare different price, quality and contractual factors, to conduct discussions with the offerors and to award a contract in which price alone was not the determining factor. Therefore, competitive sealed bidding was not practicable or advantageous to the District and the competitive sealed proposal method was used. The complete procurement file is available for your review in the purchasing department. All questions regarding this procurement can be directed to Patti Bilbrey, Director of Nutritional Services.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Governing Board approve the revisions to the following Governing Board Policy:

BDG - School Attorney

BACKGROUND:

The Governing Board previously discussed Policy BDG at the June 9, 2020 Governing Board meeting, when it was presented for a first read. During the June 9, 2020 meeting, Board members discussed adding a statement that the District will complete the evaluation before offering a contract to the General Counsel for the following school year. That statement has been added to the proposed changes to the policy. In addition, in consultation with Superintendent Dr. Kriekard, incoming Superintendent Dr. Menzel, and Human Resources, we have proposed adding a date by which the General Counsel evaluation will be completed, April 15, to align with the District’s target timeline for issuing Cabinet and Administrator contracts. We are presenting the revisions for the Board’s consideration and possible approval as a second read, pursuant to Governing Board Policy BGB, Policy Adoption (requiring at least two readings of policy changes, unless waived).

Approval of Revisions to Policy GCO - Evaluation of Professional Staff Members

Submitted by: Funding: Michelle G. Marshall, General Counsel N/A

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the Governing Board approve the revisions to the following Governing Board Policy:

GCO – Evaluation of Professional Staff Members

BACKGROUND:

The Governing Board previously discussed Policy GCO at the June 9, 2020 Governing Board meeting, when it was presented for a first read. During the June 9, 2020 meeting, Board members inquired about why the ASBA model policy recommended that the evaluation system for “other administrators” be developed under the leadership of the Superintendent instead of the Governing Board. Pursuant to A.R.S. §15-503(C), the Governing Board is to develop and adopt evaluation systems and avail itself of the advice of administrators in doing so. The ASBA model policy language complies with the statute, in that a governing board establishes the evaluation system by adopting the tool and the ratio of student data to be used. However, to more closely align with A.R.S. § 15-503(C), we have updated this reference and are recommending the policy state that the evaluation system for “other administrators” will be developed under the leadership of the Superintendent, who will make recommendations to the Governing Board for approval of the evaluation system. This aligns more closely with the statute and makes it clearer that that the Governing Board is establishing the evaluation system. We also have made a minor edit requested at the June 9 meeting. The edit is to the following reference to the: “District’s evaluation system as a whole.” This phrase appeared twice in the policy. The phrase “as a whole” has been deleted from the current recommendation. We are presenting the revisions for the Board’s consideration and possible approval as a second read, pursuant to Governing Board Policy BGB, Policy Adoption (requiring at least two readings of policy changes, unless waived).
