RES 15.3 MARCH 16 2022.pdf
Rationale: Via Resolution 15.3 at their stated meeting on March 16, 2022 the Board of Trustees amended requirements contract 2020-0630 to KG&D Architects increasing the sum to $2.0 million and extending the term to 1,095 calendar days expiring on March 16, 2023.

This resolution is to authorize the award of a general fund purchase order under that contract for KG&D to provide a feasibility study to adaptively re-use the Biondi School building as 6-12 Media/Arts focused school. This will include a refinement of the conceptual design and assess all building systems – structural, roof, mechanical, electrical, fire protection and plumbing to identify required upgrades.

KG+D is one of five firms under a standing requirements contract with the District that were awarded as a result of the issuance of RFQ313 in 2017. Of the five, they are the best suited to effectively meet the NYSED Facilities Planning Group requirements for the design and permitting of a new school.
