Renovation of an educational facility in Pacific Beach, Washington. Design plans call for the renovation of a educational facility.

As of March 8 2022 this project is in schematics on hold. *The previous solicitation is listed below for reference North Beach School District’s elementary school students and teachers are currently housed in two elementary schools: Ocean Shores Elementary (~220 students) and Pacific Beach Elementary (~142 students). Both schools offer pre-preschool, transitional kindergarten and kindergarten through fifth grade. The District’s youngest scholars get off to a strong start in a combination ECEAP/paid tuition pre-school for three year olds, and transitional kindergarten for four year olds. North Beach Middle School (6th-8th grade) and North Beach High School (9th-12th grade) are housed in the same building in the community of Ocean Shores. Beginning in the 2020- 2021 school year, the District's sixth-grade students will join the middle school. The Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Report (Seismic Upgrades Concept Design Report dated June 2019) serves as the core reference document used by the Washington State Legislature and the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) in creating the 2019-21 School Seismic Safety Retrofit Program. The seismic screening of the buildings identified in the DNR Report was performed using the American Society of Civil Engineers' Standard 41-17, Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Existing Buildings (ASCE 41-17), and national standard Tier 1 structural and nonstructural seismic screening checklists specific to each building's structure type were provided. Seismic site class assessments were also conducted to measure the shear velocities and determine the soil class. Detailed descriptions of the seismic screening evaluations of the Pacific Beach Elementary can be found in the individual building report and the ASCE 41-17 Tier 1 screening checklist documents here:https://fortress.wa.gov/dnr/geologydata/school_seismic_safety/engineering_reports/North_Beach _SD_Seismic_Screening_Reports_2019_ICOS_14064.pdf (accessed 09.09.2020) The 2019-21 School Seismic Safety Retrofit capital program was funded with $13.24M and signed into law by the Governor on April 2, 2020. An OSPI Seismic Committee prioritized very high risk projects included in the DNR June 2019 report. The North Beach School District’s Pacific Beach Elementary Gymnasium received a $370,000 Phase 1 grant in August 2020. Additional funding will be available based on the outcome of the Phase 1 scope of work. The District anticipates engaging, under separate agreements, a structural engineering firm to serve as prime design consultant, and the services of a geotechnical engineering firm to provide more detailed geotechnical analyses and develop foundation design performance criteria. Comprehensive design servicesto be provided by the structural engineering firm as prime consultant are anticipated to include, at a minimum, architectural and civil sub-consultant team members. The selected structural engineering firm will act on behalf of the North Beach School District to design and provide construction phase project administrative support for the project including the bid/award process, processing contract related ASI’s RFI’s, Submittals, Punch list inspection activities and final record documents. It shall be a requirement of this project to ensure the seismic improvement enhances equitable access to the community’s school facilities; maximizes efficiency in campus buildings utilization; and will enhance the elementary school campus in support of the District’s educational vision. Scope of work is anticipated to occur in two distinct phases: Phase I: Basis of design development and preparation of "building permit submission" set of documents approved by the school district. Phase II: Bidding, bid award, and construction administration. As of April 5, 2021 request for design proposal is underway. Bidding for contractor and a firm timeline for construction has not been announced. * *Project information, including timeline and contacts, has been obtained through public sources.
