Hi David:

Attached is a revised proposal reflecting some additional time for the preparation of conceptual construction cost

estimates, and revising some other task hours downward a bit to reflect the efficiencies of preparing a report on the

three schools simultaneously. Having just completed the more complicated and in-depth study on the Federal

Reserve building, we spent a total of about 190 hours of architectural time putting that study together, but will of

course only invoice to the agreed upon maximum fee.

For this study we will look at three sites and have allowed a total of 226 hours. So we expect the effort to take

significantly less time per school (100 hours or so for Lowell and 60 +- for each of Bailey Gatzert and John Hay),

but we do need to study and prepare a report of findings on three sites. We believe this is a reasonable time budget

for the study, and will of course only invoice for the hours spent.

If we need to adjust the scope of the study to hit a specific budget target, we can also do that. Just let us know, as we

understand the timing of this information is critical to the Districts decision making. Thanks again for the

opportunity to be of service to the District.

HI Richard:

Several questions prior to sending our proposal for the additional school analysis requested:

1. Is it your intent to issue a separate services contract for this work, or an addendum to the existing contract No.

P1312?

2. Is it expected that Bassetti now include John Hay Elementary in our study of school capacities, along with

Lowell and Bailey Gatzert?

Please let us know at your earliest convenience so we can finalize our proposal. Thanks.

I’m available Tuesday from 8:30 to 2 pm. I would think 30 minutes would be more than enough. If it's a wash on

your end, Monday would be better for me but I'll take what I can get.

I’m interested in pretty basic information:

Where is SPS in the process to acquire the Federal Reserve Bank building?

What has the board authorized staff to do at this point, and what subsequent decisions/authorizations would be

necessary before a school could actually open?

What is the district seeing in terms of downtown demographics that lead it to believe that securing the site would be

a good investment?

Has Seattle ever had a public school downtown?

If the district doesn't secure the building, are there any other near-term or long-term options for opening an

elementary school downtown? What can families living downtown expect to happen?

What are the projected costs to acquire and rehab the building? To open and operate the school?

Do we know how many kids it would potentially serve?

Would there be space left over for other services/uses? (community center, head start, etc.)

What kind of work would need to be done to the building?

Since this is an unexpected opportunity that I’m presuming hasn't been built into the budget, where would that

funding come from?

If the district is successful in acquiring the building, do we know how long it would be before a school could

actually open?

If you have any written materials that answers those questions, feel free to send it before the interview. The only

thing I have is the 3 page memo to the school board and the map that was prepared for that meeting.

Thanks,

Jennifer

I wanted to let you know that Charles Wright is working on our behalf to re-implement a regular

meeting schedule with the Mayor and City Council. We used to meet regularly to discuss issues of

joint interest; time to re-establish that meeting rhythm. As we get dates fixed, we will begin to

establish a meeting agenda. Some obvious topics would be:

- Preschool for All

- Facilities / capacity shortfall

- Federal Reserve Building / downtown school

- Developer impact fees

-

Fields / JUAs

I’m sure there are plenty more topics. I’m not trying to build a specific agenda here; rather my

intent is to let you know that this effort is moving forward and we can look forward to some lively

discussions starting in the fall.

Thank you.

Richard: Attached is the final product – the comparison of Enrollment Planning’s 5-year projection

with our calculated K-5 capacity for the same time span.

I had to do two manipulations to EP’s product to get the K-5 numbers we needed for an apples-to-

apples analysis/comparison with last year’s work:

- Subtract Kimball ES’s enrollment (school is not in the Central Area at present)

- Subtract Pre-K student numbers (currently we don’t count Pre-K seats or butts in our

capacity needs work since the latter can be such a wild card).

The capacity figure is a gain of 25 seats over last year’s figure, representing the single portable add

at Muir ES this summer. (The double portable add at Catherine Blaine is for Grades 6-8.) It is held

constant throughout the time period.

Dear Dr. Herndon,

Given the recent activity surrounding the Downtown Federal Reserve Building, we are hoping to

organize a meeting of some of DSA’s members, as well as other long-time downtown school

supporters, to continue to engage them on the issue of a Downtown school and update them on

the school district’s current efforts. We are hoping that you will be able to attend and update

everyone on the process and status of the project.

I know that it becomes increasingly difficult to get ahold of people in Seattle the further we get into

August, so I wanted to find out if you might have time in the next three weeks on either the

afternoon (say around 4 PM) of July 25th , July 31st or August 1st? Let me know when you get the

chance and I can work on getting the meeting organized. Thanks again for your time.

Sure thing. Please see the far right columns (Y and further to the right) for the PS-5 for McClure

Jon,

I will send you two e-mails of the PowerPoint presentation that we gave to the School Board so

folks can familiarize themselves with the project ahead of our meeting. I am sending two e-mails

as the size of the PowerPoint presentation is relatively large.

Flip and Richard,

Thank you for all your work to prepare and submit the application for the Federal Reserve Building. I wanted to reiterate our offer to facilitate a peer review of cost estimates and feasibility for utilization of the

building for a pre K - 5 school. There are a number of our members in the construction, design and structural

engineering sectors that have expressed interest in supporting this effort.

Please let me know if this is something that would add value to your efforts and if there are other ways we

can provide support.
