Program Progress Update 31 April 14, 2014 Introduction This is the 31st in a continuing series of Bond Accountability Commission reports on the performance of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District’s school facilities program. The report is based largely on the Construction Manager’s reports for February and March 2014. These reports focus on construction costs, featuring a format designed to graphically communicate the status of projects in ongoing Segment 5 of the planned 10-segment construction program, including the total costs of each project and the costs of each hard-construction contract. The program is funded by the Ohio Facilities Construction Commission and proceeds of $335 million in District bonds and notes authorized by local voters as part of Issue 14 in May 2001. The OFCC pays for two-thirds of most design and construction costs. Segment 5 progress: All five elementary-school projects are completed and hosting classes. Construction of Segment 5’s three high schools -- Cleveland School of the Arts, John Marshall and Max Hayes – is under way, with completions expected in the spring and summer of 2015. For these high schools, the District is using one of the new construction-delivery methods authorized by the OFCC -- Construction Manager at Risk. Unfortunately, the School District has not provided the BAC with a timely and thorough accounting of contract and subcontract costs for the high schools. We still hope to arrange a format for detailed periodic reporting. Otherwise, detailed cost charts, pictures, construction status and other information about Segment 5 projects follow on Pages 6-14.
