Rationale:
|
|
In July of 2022 the Azusa Unified School District issued a request for proposals seeking responses from qualified development consulting firms with particular knowledge and prior experience assisting public school districts with the services necessary to identify the value and potential uses of surplus school properties. The District received three responses. Each responsive firm was interviewed by District staff and legal counsel, and DCG Strategies (DCG) was identified as the firm most qualified and most suitable to the District’s needs. The District and DCG have negotiated an Agreement for Professional Services which specifies that DCG’s services will be divided into 2 phases. The Phase I services will require the DCG team to analyze the development feasibility of the District’s 6 surplus sites at a cumulative cost of $150,000, and present this analysis and any additional data to the District’s anticipated Facilities Advisory (7/11) Committee at a cost of $350 per hour. In Phase II of the Agreement, which will only be triggered through subsequent approval by the District’s Board of Education, DCG would act as the District’s real estate broker in soliciting offers for sale or lease of any or all of the District’s surplus sites, as applicable. The Agreement was intentionally prepared to divide the services in two phases, and approval of the Agreement at this time only authorizes DCG to proceed with Phase I of the services. Once the requisite analysis of the value and highest and best use of the sites has been completed, the Board of Education will have the discretion to decide whether it wishes to move forward with the Phase II brokerage services. |

Budgetary Impact:

The cost of the Phase I services will be $150,000 for analysis of all 6 sites and a $350 hourly rate for presentations to the 7/11 Committee. |
