BIDS AND AWARDS FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS

The board supports economic development in Iowa, particularly in the school district community.  Construction contracts will be made in the school district community or in Iowa from Iowa-based companies if the bids submitted are comparable in quality and can be received without additional cost in comparison to those submitted by other bidders.  The board will have the authority to approve or retain construction contracts.

Public, competitive sealed bids are required for construction projects, including renovation and repair, with a cost exceeding the statutory minimums required by law.  The public, competitive sealed bid requirement is waived in the case of emergency repairs when the repairs are necessary to prevent the closing of a school.  The AEA administrator will certify that the emergency repairs are necessary to prevent the closing of a school.  The superintendent will comply with the competitive quote process for those projects subject to the competitive quote law.  The superintendent will determine the process for obtaining quotes for projects below the competitive quote limit.  The board shall approve the quote for the project.  

The award of construction contracts will, generally, be made to the lowest responsible bidder.  The board, in its discretion, after considering factors relating to the construction, including, but not limited to, the cost of the construction, availability of service and/or repair, completion date, and any other factors deemed relevant by the board, may choose a bid other than the lowest bid.  The board will have the right to reject any or all bids, or any part thereof, and to enter into the contract or contracts deemed to be in the best interests of the school district.

It is the responsibility of the superintendent to make a recommendation and the reason for it to the board for construction contract bids.  The board secretary shall recommend, to the board, which bid to accept.

Code No. 801.9

NAMING OF FACILITIES

The board will establish a Facility Naming Committee when naming or renaming facilities. The superintendent or designee will serve as chairperson for the committee. The chairperson shall determine the timelines, schedules and name collection procedures for completing the committee’s assignment. The committee should represent a variety of stakeholder groups including students, parents, certified staff, classified staff, administration and community. Representation from the building parent teacher organization and neighborhood associations should be considered, if possible.   
               
The committee may solicit ideas from the community and/or from members on the committee. Consideration may be given to names of individuals, companies/corporations, geography and/or location of a subdivision. Opportunity for public input will be provided when naming a new building/facility or renaming an existing facility.
 
Groups or persons desiring to name a facility or area in honor of any individual or group should make a written request to the Superintendent and include appropriate research and justification detailing the special significance and outstanding contributions of the person or group proposed to be honored by the naming.  Requests will normally be considered only where the proposed name has special significance and the person or group has made an outstanding contribution to the school or community.  Consideration of requests will also be tempered by a concern regarding proliferation of names and commercialization of events.

Ordinarily a building will not be renamed unless its present name becomes inappropriate because of the changing nature of the community it serves or the program it houses.
 
Facilities that may be named include school buildings, outdoor facilities including stadiums and facilities within the building such as a media center, gymnasium, or auditorium. The chairperson of the committee will make two to five name recommendations to the Board of Education.

Code No. 802.4

CAPITAL ASSETS 
To improve the school district's oversight of capital assets by assigning and recording them to specific facilities and programs and to provide for proof of loss of capital assets for insurance purposes, the school district shall establish and maintain a capital assets management system for reporting capitalized fixed assets owned or under the jurisdiction of the school district in its financial reports in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as required or modified by law.

Capital assets, including tangible and intangible assets, are reported in the government-wide financial statements (i.e. governmental activities and business type activities) and the proprietary fund financial statements.  Capital assets reported include school district buildings and sites, construction in progress, improvements other than buildings and sites, land and machinery and equipment.  Capital assets reported in the financial reports will include individual capital assets with an historical cost equal to or greater than $2,500 after 7/1/2006 and $500 prior to 7/1/2006.  The Federal regulations governing school lunch programs require capital assets attributable to the school lunch program with a historical cost of equal to or greater than $500 be capitalized.  Additionally, capital assets are depreciated over the useful life of each capital asset.  

All intangible assets with a purchase price equal to or greater than $100,000 with useful life of two or more years, are included in the intangible asset inventory for capitalization purposes.  Such assets are recorded at actual historical cost and amortized over the designated useful lifetime applying a straight-line method of depreciation.  If there are no legal, contractual, regulatory, technological or other factors that limit the useful life of the asset, then the intangible asset needs to be considered to have an indefinite useful life and no amortization should be recorded.

If an intangible asset that meets the threshold criteria is fully amortized, the asset must be reported at the historical cost and the applicable accumulated amortization must also be reported.  If actual historical cost cannot be determined for intangible assets due to lack of sufficient records, estimated historical cost will be used.  It is not appropriate to “net” the capital asset and amortization to avoid reporting.  For internally generated intangible assets, outlays incurred by the government’s personnel, or by a third-party contractor on behalf of the government, and for development of internally generated intangible assets should be capitalized.

The capital assets management system shall be updated monthly to account for the addition/acquisition, disposal, relocation/transfers of capital assets.  It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to count and reconcile the capital assets with the capital assets management system on June 30 each year.

It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to implement this policy.

It is inappropriate to apply the back trending/standard costing method to any capital assets acquired after the fixed assets management system implementation date.
Balance sheet accounting/class codes - the codes set out for assets in the Iowa Department of Education Uniform Accounting Manual.  They are:  200-capital assets; 211- land and land improvements; 221-site improvements; 222-accumulated depreciation on site improvements; 231-buildings and building improvements; 232-accumulated depreciation on buildings and building improvements; 241-machinery and equipment; 242-accumulated depreciation on machinery and equipment, 251-works of art and historical treasures, 252-accumulated depreciation on works of art and historical treasures, 261-infrastructure, 262-accumulated depreciation on infrastructure, and 271-construction in progress.
Book value - The value of a capital asset on the records of the school district, which can be the cost or, the cost less the appropriate allowances, such as depreciation.
Buildings and building improvements - A capital assets account reflecting the addition/acquisition cost of permanent structures owned or held by a government and the improvements thereon. 
Business-type activities- one of two classes of activities reported in the government-wide financial statements.  Business-type activities are financed in the whole or in part by fees charged to external parties for goods or services.  These activities are usually reported in enterprise funds. 
Capital expenditures/expenses - expenditures/expenses resulting in the addition/acquisition of or addition/acquisition to the school district's general or proprietary capital assets.
Capital assets - Capital assets with a value of equal to or greater than $2,500.00  after 7/1/2006 and $500 before 7/1/2006 based on the historical cost include:  long-lived assets obtained or controlled as a result of past transactions, events or circumstances.  Capital assets include buildings, construction in progress, improvements other than facilities, land machinery and equipment, and intangible assets. 
Capitalization policy - the criteria used by a the school district to determine which capital assets will be reported as capital assets on the school district’s financial statements and records.   
Capitalization threshold – the dollar value at which a government elects to capitalize tangible or intangible assets that are used in operations and that have initial useful lives extending beyond a single reporting period.
Capitalized interest - interest accrued and reported as part of the cost of the capital assets during the construction phase of a capital project.  The construction phase extends from the initiation of pre-construction activities until the time the asset is placed in service.  
Construction in progress - buildings in the process of being constructed other than infrastructure.
Cost - the amount of money or other consideration exchanged for goods or services.
Depreciation/Amortization - expiration in the service life of capital assets, other than wasting assets, attributable to wear and tear, deterioration, action of the physical elements, inadequacy and obsolescence.  In accounting for depreciation, the cost of a capital asset, less any salvage value, is prorated over the estimated service life of such an asset, and each period is charged with a portion of such cost.
Fixtures - attachments to buildings that are not intended to be removed and cannot be removed without damage to the buildings.  Those fixtures with a useful life presumed to be as long as that of the building itself are considered a part of the building.  Other fixtures are classified as machinery and equipment.  
General capital assets - capital assets that are not capital assets of any fund, but of the governmental unit as a whole.  Most often these capital assets arise from the expenditure of the financial resources of governmental funds.
General capital assets account group (GFAAG) - a self-balancing group of accounts established to account for capital assets of the school district, not accounted for through specific proprietary funds.
Government Activities – Activities generally financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues, and other non-exchange revenues.  These activities are usually reported in governmental funds and internal service funds.  
Government-wide financial statements – Financial statements that incorporate all of a government’s governmental and business-type activities, as well as its nonfiduciary component units.  There are two basic government-wide financial statements, the statement of net assets and the statement of activities.  Both basic government-wide financial statements are presented using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting.
Historical (acquisition) cost - the actual costs expended to place a capital asset into service.  For land and buildings, costs such as legal fees, recording fees, surveying fees, architect fees and similar fees are included in the historical cost.  For machinery and equipment, costs such as freight and installation fees and similar fees are included in the historical cost.
Improvements – In addition made to, or change made in, a capital asset, other than maintenance, to prolong its life or to increase the efficiency or capacity.  The cost of the addition or change is added to the book value of the asset. 
Improvements other than buildings - attachments or annexation to land that are intended to remain so attached or annexed, such as sidewalks, trees, drives, tunnels, drains and sewers.  Sidewalks, curbing, sewers and highways are sometimes referred to as "betterments," but the term "improvements" is preferred.
Infrastructure - long-lived capital assets that normally are stationary in nature and normally can be preserved for a significantly great number of years than most capital assets.  Examples of infrastructure assets include: roads, bridges, tunnels, drainage systems, tater and sewer systems, dams, and lighting systems. 
Investment in general capital assets - an account in the GFAAG representing the school district's investment in general capital assets. The balance in this account generally is subdivided according to the source of the monies that finance the capital assets addition/acquisition, such as general fund revenues and special assessments.  
Land and buildings - real property owned by the school district.
Machinery and equipment - capital assets which maintain their identity when removed from their location and are not changed materially or consumed immediately (e.g., within one year) by use.  Machinery and equipment are often divided into specific categories such as:  transportation machinery and equipment which includes school buses and school district owned automobiles, trucks and vans; other motor machinery and equipment which includes lawn maintenance machinery and equipment, tractors, motorized carts, maintenance machinery and equipment, etc.; other machinery and equipment which includes furniture and machinery and equipment contained in the buildings whose original cost is equal to or greater than $2,500.00, after 7/1/2006 or $500.00 prior to 7/1/2006 and capital assets under capital leases and capital assets being acquired under a lease/purchase agreement.

CAPITAL ASSETS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DEFINITIONS

Proprietary fund - capital fixed assets that are fixed assets specific to a proprietary fund, such as school nutrition fund or child care fund.  Most often these fixed assets arise from the expenditure of financial resources of a proprietary fund.  Funds that focus on the determination of operating income, changes in net assets (or cost recovery), financial position, and cash flows.  There are two different types of proprietary funds: enterprise funds and internal service funds.  
Replacement cost - the amount of cash or other consideration required today to obtain the same capital assets or its equivalent.

RADON MITIGATION

The district recognizes the importance of providing healthy learning environments for students, employees and community members in district buildings.  The district will take appropriate measures as required by law to assess radon levels in attendance centers and provide for mitigation or other measures where appropriate.  

It is the responsibility of the superintendent to create administrative regulations necessary to carry out this policy.  

Legal Reference:	Iowa Code §§ 280.32

Date of Adoption: August 8, 2022

Code No.  804.6R1

RADON MITIGATION REGULATION

The district will create and the board will approve a plan to assess levels of radon gas present in district attendance centers.  Funding for any costs related to radon testing or mitigation will be paid from the state school foundation aid received to the district or from revenues received from the Secure an Advanced Vision for Education fund.  

Each district attendance center will undergo a short-term test for the presence of radon gas at least once by July 1, 2027.  Short-term test means a test using a device that remains in an area for two to seven days to determine the amount of radon in the air.

Radon testing will be performed by an individual certified to conduct such testing pursuant to Iowa Code section 136B.1 or by district employees who have completed a school radon testing training program approved by the Iowa Department of Education and the Iowa Department of Public Health.  

If the results of any short-term test at an attendance center are at or above four picocuries per liter, the district will conduct a second short term test in spaces with elevated levels within sixty days of the first test.  If the averaged test results of the first and second tests are at or above four picocuries per liter, the district will retain an individual credentialed to develop a radon mitigation plan.  

The plan may include further diagnostic testing, corrective measures, and active mitigation.  The mitigation plan will be completed within two years of first short-term test unless the district plans to abandon or renovate the attendance center within five years and renovation includes radon mitigation.  

All new school construction will include radon resistant construction techniques.  

Code No. 805.1

MEMORIALS FOR DECEASED STUDENTS OR STAFF

Recognizing that the loss of a member of the school community is deeply felt, the Centerville Community School District will support staff, students and families who feel the loss, and will assist with connections to appropriate community resources. As places designed primarily to support learning, school sites should not serve as the main venue for the memorializing of students or staff.
 
 Memorials for deceased students or staff shall be limited in form to perpetual awards or scholarships, collections of books, or items of historical or educational significance. Memorials involving concrete work, pavers, gardens, plantings or building/landscape modifications will not be permitted. Memorials shall be limited to one per loss. Monetary donations or fundraising contributions may be designated to the Centerville Schools Foundation for collection and administration of the gift. 
 
The district desires to honor those who were students or employees at the time of their death or within three months of graduation or ending employment.  An area will be designated at the high school building for an indoor memorial.  The area should be accessible to the general public when the building is open but not in an area of main traffic flow.  It should be a place that allows quiet contemplation.  The high school building principal has final determination of this site.  A memorial plaque for students and a separate plaque for employees will be displayed.  A plate with the student’s or employee’s name along with the date of death will be engraved on the plate.  Each plate will be approximately the same size (1 ½” x 3” or less).  The administrative team will determine if the deceased meet the intent of the memorial.  This memorial policy will be retroactive until the 1984-85 school year.  Requests prior to 1984-85 may be approved by the board.
