Accelerated Repair Program
As a result of the lessons learned from its Green Repair Program, the MSBA has instituted an Accelerated Repair Program as part of its ongoing repair program. The Accelerated Repair Program is primarily for the repair and/or replacement of roofs, windows, and/or boilers with the potential to include additional systems as may be determined by the MSBA contingent upon available funding and capacity in the capital pipeline. The Accelerated Repair Program will focus on the preservation of existing assets by performing energy-efficient and cost-saving upgrades, which will result in direct operational savings for school districts.
The Accelerated Repair Program is competitive and the MSBA will determine which Statements of Interest (“SOIs”) will be considered to participate. When a district applies for a repair project, MSBA staff will determine, based on its review and validation of the information presented in the SOI, whether a project is appropriate, and if so, whether it will be part of the MSBA’s Accelerated Repair Program or Major Repair Program. This determination will be at the sole discretion of the MSBA and will be based on the anticipated scope, schedule, and systems affected by the repair.
SOIs that are invited into the Accelerated Repair Program will be required to use pre-qualified OPMs and designers and adhere to other requirements that are unique to this program, such as implementing an accelerated project schedule. Districts that are ultimately invited into the Accelerated Repair Program may be able to undertake multiple projects simultaneously, but must be able to evidence the ability to obtain necessary funding in a timely manner.
Districts that have repair needs in their school facilities that inhibit the cost-effective and energy-efficient delivery of the district’s educational program can express interest in the Accelerated Repair Program through the MSBA’s SOI process.
The filing period for submitting a Statement of Interest ("SOI") to the MSBA for consideration in Fiscal Year 2012 is now closed. MSBA staff is currently reviewing the submitted SOIs and working to validate the issues identified by districts in their SOI submissions. During this process, the MSBA is evaluating the SOIs that identify repair needs to determine which SOIs may be potential candidates for the MSBA's Accelerated Repair Program. The MSBA will contact districts if more information in needed in connection with an SOI that was filed for consideration in Fiscal Year 2012.
