ix. Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Project Budget Adjustments ~ Updated 5.6.2024

Summary: Presented by: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operations Officer, Operations Division
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the recommended budget adjustments to projects in the District’s E-SPLOST V program found in the document “E-SPLOST V Project Budget Adjustments April 2024.pdf."
Why: The recommended budget adjustments are needed to close E-SPLOST V projects which are no longer necessary or no longer feasible and move all remaining budget from these project to program contingency.
Details: Sprinkler installation projects 10135, 10235, and 10335 have experienced several large increases in expected cost since being initially approved in 2016. Given that all DCSD facilities are designed, constructed, and maintained to be safe for all students and staff; the primary utility to the District of installing new sprinkler systems in facilities not designed to require them for life safety is to decrease potential facility damage in case of a fire. As such, the large cost increases for “stand-alone” installation of sprinkler systems (not paired with another installation such as HVAC) have made these projects infeasible. Moving forward, the District will seek to pair sprinkler installations with other building system installations such as HVAC in order to increase the cost efficiency of these projects.

New Dunwoody Chamblee ES, project 22435, was approved and funded at a time when elementary school enrollment in the Dunwoody and Chamblee clusters had grown beyond the capacity of the local schools and was expected to continue to grow rapidly. Since being approved, elementary enrollment in the area has changed dramatically, particularly the Dunwoody cluster where the new school facility would be located. As such, the need for a new elementary school facility at the Shallowford road site has disappeared. These changes in enrollment have made the New Dunwoody Chamblee ES facility no longer necessary.

All remaining budgets will be moved from these projects to contingency programmes. This will allow the District to approve upcoming construction contract awards and other expected commitments to complete the remaining active E-SPLOST V projects.
Financial impact: See attached document “E-SPLOST V Project Budget Adjustments April 2024.pdf” for financial impact on individual E-SPLOST V projects.
