Welcome to the Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) Facility Planning/ Construction web site. The JCPS Facility Planning /Construction Department manages over 14.5 million square feet of enclosed building space in 152 school facilities. We maintain 3723 classrooms in 87 elementaries, 23 middle schools, 20 high schools, 22 special schools. Each year the department spends between $35 to $45 million on construction and renovation projects to ensure the safest and most modern learning environments for our students. On average per year, $3 million is spent on roofing, $6 million is spent to wire classrooms to the internet, and over $200,000 is spent on asbestos abatement. Nearly $13 million dollars has been budgeted for the 2000-01 biennium to improve the infrastructure of our schools through projects such as the replacement or upgrading of heating, air conditioning, paving and storm drains.
Our department is responsible for managing all capital projects for construction, remodeling and renovation of our educational and support facilities. Departmental personnel are actively involved from the time of the district needs assessment through post occupancy of the facilities. All projects must go through the bid process to allow equal opportunity for contractors and suppliers to participate. All organizations or individuals bidding on contracts, with a contract price in excess of $5000, derived from competitive bidding, competitive negotiation, or non competitive negotiation, on construction projects for the Jefferson County Public Schools shall be prequalified and possess a certificate of eligibility issued by the district. This site contains the prequalification application form, information on current school projects, information on the district's Minority/ Women Business Enterprise Program, and a list of district contacts to help you if you have further questions. The Jefferson County Public Schools is a proud equal opportunity/ affirmative action employer.
