Facilities Condition Assessment

Beginning last summer, a team of 25 professionals from Magellan K12, Inc. thoroughly analyzed each Fort Worth ISD school and facility. This resulted in a facilities condition index for the entire District.  The index included room sizes, mechanical systems, and HVAC capacity for each school and structure as well as the conditions of carpet, painting and roofs.  Magellan also examined security and environmental systems.

“One of the biggest results of this study was that it gave the District a road map, a prioritized list of things that need to be fixed on every single campus and an appropriate timeline,” says Walter Dansby, Deputy Superintendent for District Operations and Administrative Services.  “Moreover, we see how our initiatives to improve academic performance will be supported by our facilities.”

The school-by-school assessment results are posted below.  Each report provides a comprehensive listing of deficiencies identified by the assessment teams at each school.  The reports are organized to provide site level deficiencies, which are generally items that concern the exterior of the building and the grounds, or items that affect all buildings across the school’s campus and are therefore not associated with any one building.  The report is further organized by building, with deficiencies grouped by major building system within the building.  A building total is provided at the end of all systems for a given building, and a campus total provides a total for all buildings and site related issues.  In some cases deficiencies have been identified at the room level, and many affect numerous rooms throughout the building.

The $593.6 million bond uses these figures, and adds to them projected life cycle needs for systems projected to reach the end of their serviceable life over the next four years.  The total bond also includes additional funds for new construction and classroom additions.

Please note that the costs contained in these reports are considered as budgetary figures, and as such, include the cost of acquisition or construction as appropriate, as well as additional costs for professional fees associated with design, engineering, and management, materials testing and survey fees, permitting costs, bid and construction contingency, and escalation to account for anticipated construction cost inflation over the next four to five years.  These costs are referred to in the design and construction industry as “soft costs” and the practice of adding these costs to develop an overall total program wide budget is an industry standard practice. Actual costs will vary from these projections and will be confirmed during the design and construction process.
