Overcrowding Relief Grant Overview • Eighth funding cycle • Approximately $419.5 million available • OPSC received 20 funding applications • 3 out of the 20 applications were returned to the districts
Overcrowding Relief Grant • In the eighth cycle, there are 17 projects to fund for approximately $82 million if approved by the SAB • 202 portables to be replaced by permanent classrooms for this funding cycle • There would be a balance of approximately $336.5 million that will roll over to the ninth funding cycle

Overcrowding Relief Grant Tips for submitting an ORG funding application: • Make sure that your application includes ORG site(s) name(s); you can check for this information on the California Department of Education (CDE) website: http://www.cde.ca.gov/index.asp • Make sure that when you submit your Application for Funding (Form SAB 50-04), the number of classrooms in line items 2i & 3 match • Make sure that the CDE letter reflects the ORG project; if revisions have occurred, please make sure that the letter is updated by CDE • Make sure if you are submitting a hybrid project (new construction and modernization) with ORG that you indicate so in your cover letter and that your plans also reflect the hybrid projects
Overcrowding Relief Grant • Make sure your plans delineate whether the portables will be demolished or relocated. Terminology like “removal” can be a universal term. It can be used for relocating or demolition; always clarify. • If you are using other ORG sites, please provide an up-to-date site map to indicate which portables are being demolished or relocated from that site. • Make sure you have enough portables on the site you are using to be compliance with ORG School Facility Program Regulations.
Overcrowding Relief Grant OVERALL • The clearer the application, the faster we can process it.
Regulatory Amendments for Prevailing Wage Monitoring Requirements
Regulatory Amendments for Prevailing Wage Monitoring Requirements • Applies to any SFP projects with a construction contract awarded after January 1, 2012, regardless of bond source. • Districts will notify the DIR when construction contracts are awarded. • DIR Compliance Monitoring Unit (CMU) to directly monitor projects for prevailing wage compliance EXCEPT for: • Districts that have a previously DIR approved LCP OR • Districts with a CBA that contains the criteria detailed in LC Section 1771.3(b)(3). • Districts will pay for any CMU services provided – not to exceed 0.25% of State bond proceeds.
Regulatory Amendments for Prevailing Wage Monitoring Requirements The proposed SFP Regulations would: • Provide a grant equal to the State share of 0.25% of State bond proceeds. • Require districts to enter the contract award date(s) on the SAB Form 50-04 • Require districts to submit one of the following along with the Authorization for Fund Release (Form SAB 50-05): • DIR confirmation of the project notification OR • A copy of the project notification sent to DIR (Only Until July 1, 2012) • Districts that fail to comply with these provisions will be required to return the SFP funds with interest.
