Slow but Steady Improvement
  • Some improvement in housing sales and starts
  • Unemployment is slowly declining
  • Interest rates are still good
  • Some states showing increase in architectural
    jobs
  • Qualified School Construction Bonds are being
    exhausted
  • Bid prices continue to increase
  • Note that government usually lags the private
    sector in recovery
  • AIA shows increase in design activityModest
    Revenue Architect Billing Increases Continue
    Through Spring More than half of architecture
    firms surveyed plan to add architecture positions
    in 2012(AIA Architect 4-27-2012)

Synopsis of 2011
  • 397 projects in 2011 (up by 70), 463 review
    letters.
  • (141 36 of those projects are designed by the
    LEA - no AE) 88 projects so far (4/12/2012) this
    year
  • Only 9 New Schools in 2011, remainder
    additions/renovations/other
  • Currently running about 40 projects in some phase
    of design/review (also down from last year)
  • Strive for review within ten days - staffing loss
    has caused delays in midst of hiring architect
    and electrical engineer

CONSTRUCTION COSTS
6
New School Construction Costs
  • 2011 costs ran 153/ square foot
  • About 8.9 more than 140 in 2010.Insignificant
    number to tabulate so far in 2012
  • We urge you to return our cost information
    requests - its the only way we can share this
    valuable info everyone needs! It takes Lots of
    reminders from us to get info
  • We are looking for Total Sq. Ft. Bid Costs as
    Awarded
  • Separate Site Work bids allow projects to be
    compared more easily and allow playfields to
    become established prior to occupancy

7
Capital Funds
  • Two ways of looking at construction spending
    (2010/2011 Fiscal Year)
  • 1. Bonds, COPS, QSCBs, QZABs, Public School
    Building Capital Fund (Does not include any Pay
    as you Go money)
  • 2010/11 Local General Obligation Bonds passed
  • Zilch past four years -0-
  • 2010/11 COPS, QSCBs, QZABs 376,950,469
  • 2011 PSBCF disbursements (No ADM Fund receipts
    past three years)
  • (Lottery funds reduced by legislature last year)
  • ADM 5,770,239
  • Lottery 119,971,523
  • Total 502,692,231

Capital Funds (Continued)
  • 2. Total Capital Funds Spent from Accounting
    Codes.
  • Includes only current expenses and may not
    include any monies paid by the county on behalf
    of the LEA (like COPS, xfers for Sales Tax
    refunds). Figures do not include debt payments
    for prior construction. Figures do not include
    any 2009/2010 expenditures but may include
    administration, maintenance, transportation and
    similar facilities)

2011 Use of the PSBCF
Portion for Debt Service has increased from 48
to 74.8 in three years
11
Federal Stimulus Funding

    amount

12
New Stuff and Concerns
  • High Performance Guidelines
  • 30 better than ASHRAE 90.1 2004(20 better
    for renovations)
  • Relatively easily attainable
  • Includes HVAC, envelope, daylighting, water, etc
  • Projects will be recognized
  • Science Safety Requirements
  • Concerns about high cost
  • Costly Isimet controls not required or needed
  • Are you really concerned about sinks in
    Science???
  • Basic safety features mostly from Natl Science
    Teachers Assn.

13
New Potential/Actual Legislative Action
  • The Legislature Returns on May 16th
  • ADM fund (From Corporate Income Tax) may be
    eliminated
  • Change Lottery distribution (less or more for
    Construction
  • Eliminated Cap on Charters
  • We now manage Deaf Blind Residential Schools
    they need and repairs/renovations
  • Who Knows What they will do.

14
Other Rumblings/Bills
  • Tax credit for private schools or Vouchers
  • Lower Corporate Tax Rate - eliminate portion to
    PSBCF (school construction)
  • All or most Lottery Money to school construction
    - distribution by ADM only
    Or
  • Less money for School Construction

15
Plan Review Issues
  • Small, non A/E designed projects cause the most
    problems
  • Often Booster Clubs, PTA
  • Good intentions
  • Not knowledgeable about building codes or bidding
    laws
  • Poor structural, HAC, building details
  • Designed to be cheap not long lasting or energy
    efficient
  • Do schools really want a Maintenance Nightmare?

16
Challenge
  • Its time to begin thinking about General
    Obligation Bonds again!
  • Creative Financing Must get money from numerous
    sources
  • Get the most for your buck quality
    construction, vanilla materials
  • Remember that longevity and low, simple
    maintenance are crucial be careful with
    experimentation
  • True design is about function, design for
    learning and spatial relationships not just how
    quick can we do this or geometry games.
