  6. ESSB 5035 Capital Budget Provisions • The space allocations for state funding assistance purposes for districts with senior or four-year high schools with fewer than four hundred students, as outlined in WAC 392-343-035, must be computed in accordance with the following formula: • Number of Headcount Student in Grades 9-12 Maximum Space Allocation Per Facility • 0-200 students 42,000 square feet • 201-300 students 48,000 square feet • 301-or more students 52,000 square feet • $250,000 of the common school construction account--state appropriation is provided solely for the Superintendent of Public Instruction to create interagency agreements for the following purposes: • (a) An interagency agreement with The Evergreen State College for a study by the Washington State Institute for Public Policy on the relationship between school design and student performance. (vetoed) • (b) An interagency agreement with the Office of Financial Management to coordinate a review and make recommendations regarding the financing of specialized school facilities such as skill centers. (vetoed)

  7. 2SSB 5197 – School Security • $10.0 Million – School Security Improvement Grant Funding. “The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction must allocate grants on a competitive basis for districts to implement emergency response systems.” • Every board of directors shall consider installing a perimeter security control mechanism or system on all school campuses, as appropriate to the design of the campus. In addition, for major construction projects, consider school building plans and designs that promote an optimal level of security, direct control and observation, and as few entrances as possible. • The bill directs school districts to work collaboratively with local law enforcement and school security personnel to develop an emergency response system using technology to expedite the response and arrival of law enforcement in the event of a threat or emergency at a school.

  8. SHB 1466 – Alternative Public Works Contracting Procedures • This bill extends alternative contracting procedures to June 30, 2021. • Modifies the criteria to use the Design Build and General Contractor/Construction Manager contracting procedures. • Modifies notification procedures. • Increases Job Order Contracting limits to $6 million for certain counties. • Requires the Capital Projects Advisory Review Board to report on the use of life cycle cost analysis.

  9. ESHB 1633 – Modifying School District Bidding Requirements • The bill raises the minimum bidding threshold to $75,000 for the cost of any furniture, supplies, equipment, building, improvements, or repairs, or other work or purchases, except books, and allows school districts to use district staff to do small repair and improvement projects on district properties and facilities when the total cost of the project doesn’t exceed $75,000.

  10. ESSB 5709 – Densified Biomass Pilot • Directs WSU to develop and initiate a pilot program to demonstrate the feasibility of using densified biomass to heat public schools. • Report by December 1, 2013. • Subject to receiving federal and private funds for this purpose. • The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction must notify all school districts about the pilot project and their opportunity to participate.

  11. ESHB 1652 – Impact Fee Payments • This bill was vetoed by the Governor. It would have allowed impact fees to be deferred from the time a building permit is submitted to occupancy, which would create an unpredictable revenue stream for local jurisdictions, including school districts, who are dealing with capacity issues.
