Priority Scoring Criteria Descriptions
The applicable Priority Criteria for a skill center’s project is described below. Note: Numbered criteria
refer to the Skill Center Capital Manual. Criteria will be scored by a group of school facility experts and
representatives from OSPI School Facilities and Organization.
You must complete all parts of this template highlighted in yellow.
Criteria One: Local Contribution
The project will be scored based on the amount of local contribution that will be provided for the
project based on the range identified below. When a waiver is being sought, the project’s inclusion into
the OSPI Capital Budget Request is dependent on the Superintendent’s approval of the waiver.

Local Contribution = _____ ______ Points (10 Point Maximum)
Attach a local contribution form needs to be provided.
Criteria Two: Title I Percentage of the Inter-District Cooperative Member Districts
The project will be scored based on the Free and Reduced Price Lunch (FRPL) of the skill center cohort.
OSPI will calculate FRPL applications to total enrollment percentage for each district of the inter-district
cooperative. OSPI will also determine the percentage of students from each district that make up the
total skill center enrollment. Each cooperative member school district’s FRPL percentage will be
weighted by their enrollment percentage of the skill center.
50%–100%
20%–49%

Title I Percentage: ______  ______ Points (5 Point Maximum)
Criteria Three: Age of the Building
The project score will be based on the current age of the building or time since the last modernization,
whichever is less.
Current number of years since built or last modernized ______ - 28) X 2 = _____ Points
(25 Point Maximum)
Note: The facility must be a minimum of 30 years since built, or last modernized, at the time preconstruction funding would be received.
Criteria Four: Facility Condition
To award points for this criterion, the project score will be based on the adjusted score from an up to
date building condition evaluation. Follow the link for more information regarding the building
condition evaluation in the Building Condition Evaluation Manual.
http://www.k12.wa.us/SchFacilities/Publications/pubdocs/BuildingConditionManual.pdf.
This evaluation should be performed by an independent contractor, ideally certified to do OSPI building
assessments. The scoring formula for this criterion is located in WAC 392-343-515, but without
considering Step Two cost benefit for new-in-lieu construction, which will be addressed through long
range planning requirements.

Points are awarded proportionally using the following equation:
(90-BCE score)*.5 = proportional score
30 or less =

BCE Score _____  Final score based on above equation _____ Points (30 Point Maximum)
Attach up-to-date BCE Building Summary Report.
Criteria Five: Significant Health, Safety and Code Issues
The project will be scored based on significant health, safety and energy issues in order to bring
an existing building up to date. The rubric for significant health, safety and energy issues must
be completed with appropriate documentation to verify that each issue exists. Significant
health, safety and energy issues include:
 Life safety.
 Seismic.
 Health/Environmental.
 Security.
 ADA Access.
 Energy Code.
See scoring rubric below for additional guidance on the details. An OSPI regional coordinator will verify
these issues via a facility walk through.
Score based on rubric _____ _____ Points (30 Point Maximum)
Attach a narrative for each issue identified, along with any applicable pictures.
