MEASURE X BOND – CONTRACTS AWARDED FOR PROGRAM MANAGEMENT &

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT SERVICES

San Bruno, CA. February 21, 2019.

In November 2018, San Bruno Park School District successfully passed the Measure X $79 million facilities bond with overwhelming approval from the voters. The District has moved expeditiously to put in place a team of experts to begin the modernization design, bidding and construction of District schools, including a formal “Request for Proposal” process to solicit architectural and construction management services.

While larger school districts typically have a bond program manager on staff, it is common practice for smaller districts to retain construction & design program management services from an experienced firm. The role of the Bond Program manager in San Bruno Park School District will be to provide comprehensive management of district-wide modernization and new construction projects under the umbrella of Measure X bond funds and sale of surplus property proceeds. The Bond Program Manager will work closely with District staff, its consultants, and construction management firms in providing technical assistance in the planning and execution of the modernization program including scheduling, cost estimating, and so forth.

While not required, the District conducted a competitive Request for Proposal process seeking program and construction management services that included interviews and extensive reference checks. On February 20, 2019, the Board approved entering into contracts with Greystone West to provide the Bond Program Management services for the District as well as to serve as the construction management firm overseeing new construction of Allen Elementary School.

Greystone West is a mid-size construction management firm specializing in school bond and construction program management in Bay Area public school districts for over twenty years. The firm has managed projects ranging from $9 million to $500 million, including modernization and new construction projects for San Mateo Union High School District. Principal/Owner Todd Lee has forty years of experience in the construction industry. Mr. Lee will serve as the District’s Bond Program Manager and lead the Greystone team assigned to oversee new construction of Allen.

Additionally, from the proposals submitted, the District recommended, and the Board approved, a pool of qualified construction management firms to be considered for future modernization projects. These are: Jenkins/Gales & Martinez (JGM), Cumming Construction Management, Swinerton Management & Consulting, and Greystone West.

The District is currently reviewing proposals submitted by architectural firms to provide design services for the Measure X Bond Program.
