Page 3 of 3

• Child Development Center – replace temporary modular
• Offsite Career Tech Center – replace Lerdo Facility, offsite
• Student Housing Expansion – on campus or adjacent to campus – centralized
• IT – new – centralized location
• Ash Street – main entrance beautification – this would address marquee
• Creek beautification
• Parking Expansion/Maintenance
• Solar – covered parking
• Energy Project w/Proposition 39 funds – could have matches or not.
• Land Acquisition

Some suggestions related to future needs from the committee were:

• Start building multi-storied buildings with panels on top for solar. Brock reminded the committee about our soil problems and the settling of buildings. In addition, Jose added current buildings were not built to sustain an additional story. Building multiple stories will definitely be considered in the future for new structures.
• Identify what things need to be on-campus or adjacent.
• The Vocational Building will be 2-story.
• Does CDC need to be in their area? Can they be moved?
• Sports complex – try to keep all sports in the same area.

Brock said he plans to have more updates as well as a map of where the previous request will go. Also his goal is to have the FMP ready for board approval by July, 2015.

Other:

Craig Johnson brought up the issue of replacing the marquee and the cost. He shared the El Capitan High School in Merced just installed a new one. He will provide the committee with a picture at one of the upcoming meetings.

Brock also thanked everyone who assisted with the facilities section for Accreditation.

5. Campus 5-year Map Jose gave a quick review of the map. The yellow areas are the buildings and land we currently own or occupy and the blue areas indicate what is coming soon which are: (5-Student Center, 9-Vocational building, 28-29-30-The STEM buildings) A large rendering of this map is located in the Administrative Offices if anyone would like to look at it more closely.

6. Welding Facility Taft College was able to secure a building located in the Industrial Park and has secured a lease with the Beard Family Trust. Some work is being done to properly vent the building for the welding classes and Instruction hopes the building will be ready to have some classes in the 2015 spring semester. (Included on the Intranet is a copy of the document Mark Williams submitted to the GC in September for their approval.)
7. Total Cost of Ownership – Student Center Jose distributed a draft analysis of the TCO for the Student Union. The purpose of a TCO analysis is to make sure financial planning has included enough funds to cover running the building, updates, maintenance, and future modifications to keep the facility modern.

1. Review Minutes from September 23, 2014 Minutes from our meeting on September 23, 2014 were approved by consensus.
2. Dorm Modernization Jose Vargas with AP Architects reported they had met with the contractor the day before, October 14, 2014 to tie up loose ends. The final walk through should take place next week. Before students move in the fire alarms need to be tested and approved by the Fire Marshal and Adrian added he wanted to check the security cameras too. Once those items have been addressed, the student will be able to move in.
3. Prop 39 Update Jose reported the first phase, which was lighting at the gym is complete. Next the HVAC controls at the gym, G-mods and CDC will be updated. The EMS should go out to bid in the next week or two and the LED site retrofit should for bid in about three weeks.
4. STEM Jose reported the decision has been made to have the modular at ground level. This will allow the buildings to be joined to maximize the storage space as well as save on the site work. Also this will allow sidewalks to be laid and a grass area which will enhance the appearance from the street. The team is working with the modular manufacturer and contractor to finalize the plans and submit them to DSA. The next step after receiving approval from DSA is to submit to the Board the contract stating the maximum price. Because the modular will be in production at the same time the site work is being done, the completion time could be 2 to 3 months.

5. Deferred Maintenance Jose reported work has begun to receive bids for the roof repairs. We will replace the HVAC at the gym, repaint, and replace sound boards. We are wrapping up the chilled water piping replacement and will repair the alley fence plus add plants to beautify the area.

6. Student Center Documents have been received back from DSA and the AP staff is working to address their comments. During our meeting in August a request had been made to include a private place for mothers who are breastfeeding. Marisa distributed an updated drawing of the Student Center which showed using some of foyer space in the women’s restroom for a mother’s room. The update will be reviewed to make sure there is adequate privacy and space for bags, etc.

7. Other Craig Johnson, representing the new Hall of Fame committee, requested a wall be allocated for displaying the upcoming Hall of Fame plaques. Brock indicated he, along with the architects, would look at the west wall in the hallway from the Library entrance to the Cougar Room. They would need to verify the wall could withstand the weight of several plaques and what type of material should be used to hang them.

1. Review Minutes from May 13, 2014 Minutes from our meeting on May 13, 2014 were approved by consensus.

2. Dorm Modernization Phase one was completed in time for the students to move in for the fall 2014 semester. Phase two has been completed and the punch list created. Anticipated completion date is October 20th.

3. Prop 39 updates/Deferred Maintenance Jose Vargas with AP Architects distributed two documents recapping our schedule for Prop 39 and Deferred Maintenance dollars (copy located on the Intranet). The 2013/2014 Prop 39 Energy Projects encompassed retrofit of the lighting in and outside our gym. This project was mostly done during September 2014 and is 80% complete. Several projects have been identified for the 2014/2015 funds. The projects include the HVAC Controls at the gym, G-Mods, CDC Mods and LED retrofit for site lighting. Scheduled Maintenance funds received in 2013-14 had a one to one match. The project from 2013/2014 funds will be the chilled line replacement in the alley behind the Science building. This project will be matched with funds from the Student Center project. For year 2014/2015 there will be more work on the PGE electrical service upgrade, the gym HVAC, the gym roof and gym interior.
4. STEM AP staff recently met with Paul Blake to complete the working drawings for DSA approval. We will need final approval from Paul for the layout, as well as Adrian for the electrical data. Target to receive Board approval for this project is the 2014 November or December board meeting.

5. Student Center Documents have been received back from DSA and AP staff is working diligently to address all of DSA comments. Jose informed us there is a possibility of us using the LLB delivery method on the Center. We will need to begin the bid process once the method has been finalized and we have the final approval from DSA.

6. Other Items of Concern

• Science Building roof drainage – check to make sure water from the gutter hits the down spout.
• Question about broken lights in the alley behind Library. Will they be repaired?
• Designated place for breastfeeding.

1. Minutes from March 11, 2014 – The minutes from March 11, 2014 were approved unanimously as there were no corrections and/or amendments requested.
2. Library restructure – (Informational item) Mark Williams distributed a drawing identifying the plans to restructure some areas in the Library. Some of the changes are:

• Revamping the Children’s Library to a classroom to maximize the space usage.
• Remove the counter currently used for check–in and relocated to the center of the library (proposed combined reference desk and circulation desk).
• Leave enough open space which could be used for a meeting site to accommodate a large number of people.
• All changes are to keep in mind the library is first and foremost for the students any other usage approved for the area would need to be when students are not present.

3. Dorm Modernization – The Dorm Modernization project began construction the first week of November 2013. The contractor, Black/Hall Construction, has completed approximately 80% of the Phase 1 portion of the project. Phase 1 is anticipated to be completed on 5/23/14. Upon completion of Phase 1, the contractor will start Phase 2 on or about May 26th with an anticipated completion date of 10/20/14.
4. Student Center – The Division of the State Architect’s (DSA) is still reviewing the project for code compliance. The reason DSA has taken so long with this project mostly due to code changes. We submitted our plans before the code changed and with the new codes in effect, DSA is behind on their reviews. The current anticipated construction start date continues to be the end of fourth quarter 2014 pending completion of the Dorm project.
5. STEM Engineering Buildings – This project is going to follow the bid process of Lease Leaseback instead of the traditional public bid process. We are currently working with Legal to develop the necessary “Request for Qualifications” in order to ascertain a contractor to perform this project. Once the College has selected a contractor, the construction documents can then be finalized for DSA approval. Upon plans being approved by DSA, the selected contractor will then provide proposals for the scope of work. We will work with the selected contractor to determine final cost and schedule.

6. Shade Structure (quad) – There has been a request to revisit the idea of shade structures. The quad is being utilized more from several groups on campus and suggestions made are to see what the cost would be to have something coming out from the back of the stage area in the quad. Brock explained the shade structure issue has been tied to several projects. The problem is not having the money to accommodate such an expense unless it is tied to one of the projects. This committee has been asked to look at this issue again and take into consideration what could be done in the meantime as we wait on the new Student Center.
7. Other

• Infrastructure Upgrade at Alley (Scheduled Maintenance Projects): The College has received scheduled maintenance funds from the Chancellor’s Office at a 1 to 1 match, creating approximately an overall project of $200,000; which is to be spent by June 2015. In looking at existing campus needs and future projects, the most appropriate use of these funds has been determined to be an upgrade and retrofit of the utilities and chiller lines down the alley behind the Science building. The lines will tie from the chiller to the new Student Center location (Old TIL Administration and T Dorms). New fencing and painting along alley are being planned as funds allow.
• Vocation Center: (Projects at the State Pending funding) The Vocation Center project is an approved Final Project Proposal (FPP at the Chancellor’s office. The project consists of 19,878 assignable square feet (ASF); which consist mostly of laboratories and some office space. This project will be considered for funding on the next statewide general obligation bond. The project is extremely competitive and should have a great chance at being funded. If there is bond language on the November ballot it would help to fund some of our projects.
• Memorial Area on Campus: The issue was raised concerning the memorial areas which were on campus before some of the construction projects began on campus. These areas were marked by benches in names of some of our faculty and staff who have since passed on. The committee has been asked to check on the benches removed and look for a space on campus to perhaps display or recognize them.
• Trophy Case: Craig Johnson reminded the committee of the trophy case which used to be on the outside of the Science Building. He has all the items secure which were in those old trophy cases and has asked this committee to identify a place where they can be displayed once again.
• Educational Master Plan: Brock reminded the committee the Educational Master Plan was approved by the GC at the last Governance Council meeting and recommended we review it. There is much information related to FTE’s and how it comes into play when planning for new facilities and/or upgrades.

1. Dorm Modernization – This project began construction the first week of November 2013. The Contractor, Black/Hall Construction, is well underway with 35% of Phase 1 completed. Phase 1 is scheduled to be done at the end of May, 2014 with Phase 2 beginning immediately after.
2. Student Center – Construction documents are complete and were submitted to DSA during December 2013. While at DSA, the project will also be submitted to local Health Department for food service/kitchen portions of the work. The current anticipated construction start date is end of fourth quarter 2014 pending completion of the Dorm project.

3. STEM Engineering Buildings – (copies attached to official minutes and located on-line) This project is going to follow the bid process of Lease Leaseback instead of the traditional public bid process. This process requires Board approval for an RFQ (Request for Quote) to be sent out to a hand selected group of Contractors. Once a Contractor has been selected, plans can be finalized for DSA submission. The scope of this project, modular buildings and minor site work, is considered “Over the Counter” by DSA and should be reviewed in a matter of days. The Lease Leaseback option has many advantages on a project like this, including but not limited to, a great deal of control in choosing an appropriate Contractor for the project.

4. Prop 39 – (copies of plans and scope of work are attached to official minutes and on-line) PG&E has approved the proposed scope of lighting retrofit for energy efficiency in and around the Gym. The project is currently being prepared for Board approval during April. Pending Board approval, the project is anticipated to start construction in May and complete during the summer of 2014.
5. Scheduled Maintenance Special Repairs – (copies of plans and scope of work are attached to official minutes and on-line) The college has received scheduled maintenance funds from the Chancellor’s Office at a 1 to 1 match, creating approximately an overall project of $200,000; which is to be spent by June 2014. In looking at existing campus needs and future projects, the most appropriate use of these funds has been determined to be an upgrade and retrofit of the utilities and chiller lines down the alley behind the Science building. The lines will tie from the chiller to the new Student Center location (Old TIL Administration and T Dorms). New fencing and painting along the alley are being planned as funds allow.

6. Other – Below are some of the issues discussed:

• Carla shared the classified unit had asked her to check on the possibility of putting in a four way stop at the corner of TC and Ash. Darcy shared with the committee the Campus Safety and Security Committee had already been asked to address this issue. They have recommended a four way stop, which would require both city and county involvement. She stated Paul Linder supports this idea, and will be working with necessary parties for a resolution by the end of the month.
• Speed bumps through the parking area were brought up and the Campus Safety and Security Committee agree something should be done to slow down the traffic.
• The question was raised if we could find money somewhere to redo the plants in the triangular planter area outside the Library. Jose and Marisa said they, too, had noticed the area and said they would check to see if there was a way to address this issue.
• Sonja brought up the damaged caps on the planters outside the T-Building. She said many students sit in this area and wanted to check on benches as an alternate sitting area.
• Gym roof – still leaking. Mike has called out a roofing company to for review and we should have more information about this later.

Project score – 152 (perfect)

We were able to submit updated plans with a new location identified.

PROJECT UPDATES

STEM Center: The committee has made some good progress this semester and will start back up in January with meetings for design. Several options for funding are being pursued. At the last meeting the committee met with the modular and furniture designers. The idea is to design a space that’s flexible for the future and identify the space as labs.

Dorm Modernization: The Dorm Modernization Project began construction the first week of November 2013. The Contractor, Black/Hall Construction, is in the initial phases of demolition on the project, both on the buildings and on the site work.

Student Center: Construction documents are in process. AP Architects is working with committee members and consultants to finalize drawings for submission to DSA later this month. The current anticipated construction start date is end of fourth quarter 2014 pending completion of the Dorm project.

CAMPUS SIGNAGE

The new semester with the completed TIL center open, brought on a request for additional signage to assist with campus building direction. A draft was submitted to the committee from AP for review which is attached to the official minutes and on-line. Also discussed was whether there were funds to purchase an updated marquee sign.

OTHER

Brock informed the committee we had received some Prop 39 funds which are for energy efficiency. Upcoming meetings have been scheduled to discuss the types of projects we will use the approximate $70,000+ funds for.

Also we were notified we would receive approximately $109,000 for deferred maintenance which will most likely be used to re-route chiller lines and infrastructure lines.
