Facilities Readiness Audit — Be Shovel-Ready When Funding Moves

When approvals and dollars accelerate, only districts with prioritized scopes and permit-ready packages move first. School Leaders delivers a rapid audit that ranks safety and modernization projects, maps DSA and OPSC paths, and gives you a step-by-step submission plan.

Who This Is For

• California K-12 districts preparing safety, modernization, or small new-construction scopes
• Teams that have a facility master plan but need a fast path to submission
• Districts targeting Prop 2, modernization eligibility, reimbursements, or time-sensitive state incentives

What You Get

• Prioritized project list focused on health, life safety, and code triggers
• DSA and OPSC readiness review with specific requirements and sequence
• Permit-ready scope checklist and document matrix
• Schedule with critical dates, submittal windows, and internal deadlines
• Risk flags and mitigation steps addenda management, mandatory walks, insurance and bonding
• Funding alignment notes Prop 2, modernization, reimbursements, joint-use where applicable
• Board-ready one-pager and a working task list for your team

What We Audit

• Scope quality and completeness drawings, narratives, costs, and contingencies
• DSA triggers, approvals, and certification considerations
• OPSC eligibility touchpoints SFAS, modernization paths, forms, and timing
• Procurement and delivery readiness prequalification, forms, bid calendars
• Stakeholder and communications needs cabinet updates, board cadence
• Document hygiene naming, versioning, checklists, and submittal packaging

How It Works

1. Discovery call 15 minutes to confirm goals, target projects, and deadlines
2. Desk review and quick interviews we review plans, prior assessments, and timelines
3. Findings and action plan you receive the prioritized list, DSA and OPSC map, permit-ready checklist, and a 30-60-90 day execution schedule

Timeline

Typical turnaround is measured in days, not weeks, depending on document readiness and project count.

Light FAQ

• Do we need a facility master plan first
  Helpful but not required. The audit can stand alone and identify fast-track scopes while your master plan is underway.
• Will this replace our architect or CM
  No. We align your existing partners around a clear submission plan and fill readiness gaps.
• Can you help implement after the audit
  Yes. We can support submittals, vendor prequalification, and program mobilization.
