FINANCE

33. RENEWAL OF PROPERTY INSURANCE EFFECTIVE MAY 1, 2008 THROUGH APRIL 30, 2009
Description

The district was presented with three (3) renewal options.  The first option attempted to duplicate the expiring program with a $47,500,000 insured loss limit and the second option offered a $100,000,000 insured loss limit.

Option #3 is a compromise between the two that provides an insured loss limit of $70,000,000 at a total cost of $2,676,500 (premium + regulatory charges).  It is recommended that the School Board approve Option #3 with a total cost of $2,676,560 ($2,650,000 premium + $26,560 regulatory charges).  It is the best compromise between expanded coverage and pricing that is within budget.  The selection of Option #3 will allow the district to purchase 47.37% higher loss limits with a 4.47% reduction in premium.  The district will no longer participate (self-fund) in the primary and secondary layers, which will result in lower cost in the event of a major property loss.



Recommendation
That the property insurance renewal effective May 1, 2008 through April 30, 2009, be approved as presented.

37. APPROVAL TO ADVERTISE REVISIONS TO SCHOOL BOARD POLICY #7.71: SELECTION POLICY FOR PROFESSIONAL CONSTRUCTION RELATED SERVICES
Description

On 8/7/2007 (Item #30), in accordance with policy, the Board appointed an Ad Hoc Review Committee (AHRC) for the professional services selection process.  The AHRC conducted their meetings from 11/2007 to 1/2008, two of which were with Board members at workshops on 12/11/2007 & 2/12/2008.  The proposed revisions outlined below are the AHRC's recommendations as a result of said meetings.

The proposed revisions involve two (2) items regarding School Board Policy #7.71 and the Professional Services Selection Committee (PSSC).  Item #1 pertains to the membership of the committee; Item #2 pertains to the application documents required when responding to "Request for Qualifications" (RFQ) legal advertisements for District projects.

 

MEMBERSHIP:  The revisions to restructure the PSSC are being proposed to reflect the current organizational structure of the District and to allow more flexibility in scheduling the required meetings. 

 

APPLICATION DOCUMENTS:  A Professional Qualification Supplement (PQS) form was created specifically for Construction Manager applicants.  The existing PQS has been revised and streamlined for use by Architects/Consultants/Engineers.  This proposed new format should allow for easier completion of the form.

 

All other minor changes are intended to provide consistency in the instructions from one section to another or address technical changes in the statutes.

 

 



Recommendation

That the revisions to School Board Policy #7.71, "Selection Policy for Professional Construction Related Services", be approved to advertise as presented.
