I.

BACKGROUND As the third largest school district in Georgia, the DeKalb County School District (DCSD) has more than 15,000 full-time employees and serves over 98,000 students throughout DeKalb County. DCSD has approximately 154 facilities, including 78 elementary, 19 middle and 21 high schools; seven centers; five stadiums; and five administration buildings. Most facilities were constructed in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Almost all facilities have had some form of renovations, repairs, or additions over the years. Since 1997, DCSD has utilized SPLOST (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) funds as the primary funding source for its Capital Improvement Programs (CIP). On November 8, 2011, DeKalb County voters approved DCSD’s fourth SPLOST program through the utilization of the approved SPLOST IV funds, in conjunction with the State of Georgia’s Capital Outlay Program. It is anticipated that approximately $496 million will be available to fund the District’s 2012-2017 CIP. Previous SPLOST programs have been managed through a DCSD Staff augmented team. SPLOST IV will be managed with a Program Management format and not staff augmentation. URS Corporation has been contracted to provide the Program Management Services. A copy of the CIP Summary and more detailed information regarding the CIP can be obtained on the District’s website at www.dekalb.k12.ga.us/splost-iv.

II.

PURPOSE The purpose of this RFP is to solicit proposals from DCSD’s pre-qualified Architectural/Engineering firms to provide professional design services for K-12 educational facilities. This solicitation is specifically for one middle school, and final documents will become the property of DCSD. The scope of work for the RFP includes the full professional architectural and engineering services for Project 122-422, Miller Grove Middle School HVAC, Ceiling, Lighting and Emergency Generator Replacement.

Suitability - Middle_Jr. High The Miller Grove middle school was built in the 1980's with an additional wing built a few years later. The school enrolls students in sixth through eighth grade and includes three self-contained special education classrooms. Athletic activities include football, men and women's basketball, cheerleading, and track. The school also has a baseball team but it is not school sponsored. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Site-->Traffic The school has two separate drop off lanes, one for buses and one for parents. The bus lane utilizes the same entrance and exit as the main parking lot. Due to the number of buses, the school uses two traffic lanes, one adjacent to the curb in front of the school and the second one located in the parking area. This configuration has students walking between buses and parked cars. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Site-->Play Courts & Fields The practice track around the football field is in poor condition. The football field and track area are located on a lower level and are not easily accessible for people with disabilities. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Safety and Security-->Fencing There are areas behind the school adjacent to neighborhoods that do not have adequate fencing.

Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Safety and Security-->Signage & Way Finding The school does not have adequate internal directional signage. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Safety and Security-->Ease of Supervision Due to the configuration of the hallways, lines of sight outside of the building are restricted. The eighth grade hallway has a jog in it that significantly reduces line of sight supervision. Most areas can be easily supervised from the commons area. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Safety and Security-->Limited Entrances The school is only equipped with electronic keys at the front entrance and the cafeteria entrance. The school does have video monitoring but most entrances are monitored internally versus externally. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Safety and Security-->Interior Circulation The hallways are lined with upper and lower lockers. In order to accommodate the number of students in each hallway, the students are released between classes based upon whether they have a lower or upper locker. The commons is an open area where three hallways converge that is congested before and after school. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->General Classrooms-->Size Most of the general classrooms meet the standard of 720 square feet. The typical general classroom is 744 square feet. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->General Classrooms-->Storage\Fixed Equip. The general classrooms are equipped with one upright storage cabinet. The classrooms do not have adequate storage for supplies and materials. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Remedial - Special Needs-->Size The resource rooms are adequate in size for the number of students they serve.

The self-contained special education rooms do not have restrooms, sinks, running water, and adequate storage. One room has a changing table that is in the corner of the room and is not separated from the classroom. The changing area does not have a toilet or sink. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Library-->Size The library is small for the number of students. It is configured with blind areas and supervision can be difficult. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->P.E.-->Size The school has one gymnasium. When all four physical education teachers have classes in the gym at one time there are approximately 150 students. The gymnasium does not have adequate seating for the entire student body. The weight room is also used for storage of supplies materials and is not well ventilated. The school does not have visitors' locker rooms. The locker rooms are divided into three small dressing areas which makes supervision difficult. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->P.E.-->Storage\Fixed Equip. The storage for physical education is adequate. The school does not have adequate storage for athletic equipment. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Music-->Size The music areas are crowded when they are preparing for school programs. For normal instructional activities, they are adequate in size. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Music-->Adjacencies The music rooms are located at the far end of the building from the stage area or gymnasium. For school programs equipment is moved the length of the hallway. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Art The school is equipped with an art room which is currently used as a creative writing classroom. The school does not have an art program.

Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Performing Arts\Auditorium-->Size The cafeteria also serves as the performing arts area. The cafeteria cannot seat the entire student body and assemblies are repeated three times. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Performing Arts\Auditorium-->Storage\Fixed Equip. The stage area has one small storage room. The cafeteria does not have adequate storage for tables and chairs. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Vocational Technical-->Size The business education computer area is small for the number of computers and students served. The school has a Family and Consumer Science area that is used for general storage and by the special education classes for basic life skills instruction. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Science The school was originally built as a junior high school with a science area. The instructional methodology that is currently used in the school uses the grade level team approach. In order to accomplish that task rooms that were not designed for science instruction are being used for science and some of the originally designed science labs are being used for other instructional programs. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Science-->Size The sixth grade instructional area is utilizing general classrooms for science. They are not equipped with sinks or demonstration tables, etc. Two science classrooms are equipped with demonstration tables, but do not have lab facilities. The school has a total of five science labs two of which have lab stations that accommodate up to 32 students and three have lab stations around the perimeter of the classroom. One of the labs is vacant and the others are used as either a science lecture/lab combination or a general classroom. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Science-->Storage\Fixed Equip. The general classrooms that are being used for science do not have adequate storage for supplies and materials, sinks, demonstration tables, labs stations etc. The science labs that were originally designed for science have adequate storage and built in equipment.

The school utilizes a welcome desk in the hallway immediately inside of the school in order to control access. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Restrooms (Student) The restrooms are not well ventilated. The boys' restrooms do not have urinal partitions and not all restrooms are equipped with soap dispensers. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Teacher Lounge and Work Room(s) The work room for faculty is located in the back of the administrative area which is not in close proximity to the instructional classrooms. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Cafeteria The cafeteria has three serving lines. One serving line is a portable line which requires the food to be transported a significant distance from the kitchen. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Clinic The school does not have a clinic. Student's medications are stored either in the Attendance or the Bookkeeper's office. The medications are self administered by students. Suitability - Middle_Jr. High->Custodial & Maintenance The custodial closets are all equipped with elevated sinks. The custodial closets are not well ventilated.
