KG&D FEE Proposal 4.10.20.pdf
BOCS KG&D BCS.xlsx
Rationale: This is mandated by the NYS SED under the RESCUE Legislation which requires All school Districts in NYS to develop comprehensive 5 Year Capital Improvement Plans every five years. This was last done in 2015. As part of the planning process and also mandated, the district must first conduct a building condition survey (BCS). Other work includes but is not limited to: AutoCAD auditing, SED School Report Cards & Safety Ratings and inventory of PESH related items such as confined spaces.

KG&D has been selected via advertised RFP by a selection committee for a negotiated fee of $425,000.00, fully aidable by SED at the current rate of 74%. The lowest fee submitted was by CPL Architects & Engineers, at $407,000 however they are a new entity and KG&D is thoroughly familiar with the all aspects of the District's facilities including long term educational plans.

The proposals were evaluated by the department under Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) methods.

Five firms submitted responses to the RFP421:
AEI Consultants $459,643 130 weeks
Fuller and D’Angelo $798,000 54 weeks
KG&D $425,000 36 weeks
H2M Engineers $485,000 39 weeks
CPL Arch/Engineers $406,071 40 weeks

KG&D was selected because they best met the requirements of the RFP, had the strongest proposed field teams, the best data base product for the BCS & CIP and the best understanding of the work involved since they have detailed knowledge of the District facilities.

The fee this year, $425,000 is the same fee for the same work done 5 years ago, which is $71,000 less than that in 2010.
