2 Part I Introduction and Purpose Introduction The Park Hill School District, formally organized in 1951 under the provisions of Missouri s School Reorganization Statute of 1948, encompasses 71 square miles located in the southern third of Platte County, located just north of downtown Kansas City, Missouri. Park Hill is a public school district, with pre kindergarten (pre-k) programs through grade 12. As of the Spring of 2016, the district includes ten elementary schools, three middle schools (including a sixth grade center), two high schools, a day treatment school (Russell Jones Education Center), and the Gerner Family Early Education Center. Other support facilities include a district Aquatic Center, Underground Support Services, and the District Office. Predominantly rural oriented in the past, Park Hill has steadily changed to a more suburban district, blending both residential and commercial growth. Approximately 43% of the school district lies within the city limits of Kansas City, Missouri. There are seven other incorporated communities including Riverside, Parkville, Houston Lake, Lake Waukomis, Weatherby Lake, Platte Woods, and Northmoor, as well as the unincorporated communities of Waldron and Platte County. The Park Hill School District currently provides services to 11,111 K-12 students. Enrollment in the district has grown by approximately 1.5% consistently for 32 consecutive years. District Demographic, Financial and Strategic Information Firms interested in submitting a proposal are strongly encouraged to utilize the following documents available on the school district s public website at Long-Range Facilities Plan Student Demographic and Enrollment Projections Budget Comprehensive School Improvement Plan (CSIP) (Strategic Plan) Scope of Work The Park Hill School District seeks a qualified firm to provide construction management services for the following: Support for the planning and design for the facilities as described in the district s enrollment-based Long- Range Facility Plan, potentially including the district s eleventh elementary school, fourth middle school, high school classroom space, and a new facility for support services and transportation. These services include, but are not limited to, estimating architectural design costs and schedules. Comprehensive construction management services during the potential construction of the facilities as described in the district s enrollment-based Long-Range Facility Plan and projects described within a future bond issue. This includes, but is not limited to, the district s eleventh elementary school, fourth middle school, high school classroom space, and a new facility for support services and transportation. Construction of the facilities is wholly dependent on the successful passage of a bond referendum that may appear on a ballot as soon as April, of 9

3 Comprehensive construction management services for district construction and renovation projects through December, 2019 as needed. Purpose The purpose of identifying a construction manager prior to the board s decision on whether to run a bond election is primarily to begin assisting the architectural firm with design work on the district s fourth middle school. Should enrollment continue to grow, the long-range plan has identified the need for a fourth middle school by If the district plans to open the middle school in August, 2019, design work will have to be in progress prior to an April, 2017 bond issue. Should the Board of Education opt to not place a bond issue on the ballot, or if an issue is placed on a ballot but fails to receive the required affirmative vote (57.14%), the design of the middle school would remain viable if a bond issue is passed in the future. 3 of 9
