c. Contract ~ Cooperative Agreement ~ OMNIA Partners Contract #R2416 ~ F. H. Paschen, S.N. Nielsen & Associates, LLC ~ Removal of Modular Classroom Trailers (Not to Exceed $500,000)
Summary: Presented by: Mr. Erick Hofstetter, Chief Operating Officer, Division of Operations,
Mr. Darrell Stallings, Chief of Capital Improvements, Division of Capital Improvements
Request: It is requested that the DeKalb County Board of Education approve the use of the OMNIA Partners Contract #R2416 - Job Order Contracting (JOC) Services Cooperative Agreement contract between the DeKalb County School District (“DCSD”) and F. H. Paschen, S.N. Nielsen & Associates, LLC for removal of modular classroom buildings, for an amount not to exceed $500,000.
Why: Approval of the use of the Cooperative Agreement through the OMNIA Partners Contract No. R2416 where F. H. Paschen, S.N. Nielsen through OMNIA will provide for the removal of modular classroom buildings at various schools throughout the district.
Under this contract, F.H. Paschen will furnish all management, labor, materials, and equipment necessary to perform assigned projects in accordance with approved task orders and pricing established through OMNIA’s competitively solicited Job Order Contracting (JOC) system.
Details: The Division of Operations is requesting approval to use the ONMIA Partners Cooperative Agreement - Contract #R2416 where F.H. Paschen, S.N. Nielsen will provide removal of modular classroom trailers at various schools district wide.
The removal of unused trailers or trailers beyond the useful life cycle as a district-wide initiative is aligned with the Division of Operations strategic goals of safety, cleanliness, and efficiency. The summer removals will ensure our scholars are in academic learning environments that best serve them. The removal of portable classroom units will allow the impacted DCSD campuses to use green space previously occupied by trailers. Trailers sitting on paved areas will be removed and allow modification of those spaces to best serve the school as originally intended.
On December 8, 2025, the Board approved use of the OMNIA Cooperative Contract #2416 Job Order Contracting (JOC) Services to provide services for repairs, alterations, and minor construction projects on an as-needed basis district wide. The use of the OMNIA Partners Cooperative Contract #R2416 will allow Planning to remove unused portable trailers efficiently to address campus needs while maintaining fiscal responsibility through pre-established, competitively solicited rates.
This contract enables rapid deployment for time-sensitive repairs and facility upgrades while ensuring compliance with all applicable procurement laws and DCSD policy.
OMNIA Partners Cooperative Agreement - Contract #R24-16 is for an initial term of two (2) years with three (3) optional one (1) year renewals, with the renewal offer at the sole discretion of OMNIA.
Financial impact: The total budget not to exceed $500,000 for this project will be funded from the Local Capital Project Fund - Summer 2026 Portable Classroom Removals.
