The minutes from our September 8, 2015 meeting were approved by consensus.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Brock thanked the committee for their assistance with Standard 3B and to the members who met with the Accreditation Team when they were on campus. He reported the \u2018Team\u2019 gave 4 commendations of which one was related to the facilities component. They praised the appearance of the campus grounds, the planning process and positive comments around campus.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Brock discussed the long term planning for facilities is directly impacted due to being land locked. A long range strategy and planning outlook was completed extending the Facilities Master Plan (FMP) after closely coordinating with the Educational Master Plan (EMP). The FMP draws from the EMP and the college\u2019s integrated planning process. Some of the general needs and recommendations that might relate to facilities are: Public transportation between Bakersfield\/Taft; more property; more programs; block scheduling and large assembly room or event space.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The six items listed on page 32 of the FMP are the spaces identified on the future campus map renderings. They are not necessarily in order of importance but a starting point. When we need the facilities and how to go about acquiring financing are issues. Brock will meet with Dena Maloney, Superintendent\/President as well as AP Architects to create language for dialog in this committee.<\/p>\n
Other than a few issues being reviewed, this project is 90% complete.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

AP is finalizing the plans to bid out the PG&E electrical service upgrade project. This project will bring a new 4KV service onto campus in order to provide necessary power for the Student Center and future projects. We anticipate this project going to bid by the end of October.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The project has been approved by DSA however AP is waiting for a professional to review the project before we go to bid. This project began three years ago and with today\u2019s market and increased costs need to make sure there is enough money to cover the project which should take two weeks.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This project is an approved Final Project Proposal (FPP) at the Chancellor\u2019s Office and next in the queue. The project is 19,878 of assignable square feet (ASF): which consists 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.<\/p>\n
