Board Facilities Committee

1. Public Safety Training Center Final Scope & Cost Estimate and Pre-Bid Strategy: Curt Groninga, Alan Butler (TLCD) and Keith Buchanan (TLCD) led a review of the bidding strategy for the Public Safety Training Center. They explained the need to provide a sufficient number of deductive alternates during a volatile construction economy where construction cost rises have recently averaged one percent (1%) per month. In order to keep the project within the State approved cost estimate and scope, the contractors will be required to list a series of deductive alternate prices which would allow the College and the State to accept (if necessary) prioritized reductions. Norm Cleaver has reviewed the proposed deductive alternates and their potential impact on the Public Safety Training Center programs. He is in agreement with the strategy as outlined to the BFC.

2. William B. Race Health Sciences Building Change Order #9 and Notice of Completion Status: Curt Groninga updated the BFC on the status of discussions with the contractor relevant to direct expense reimbursement to the College. Curt indicated that no agreement had yet been reached but both parties continue to discuss and work towards an agreement.

3. Facilities Review Group (FRG) 2000-2001 Project List: Jay Carpenter reviewed the FRG 2000-2001 Project List. Jay indicated that though several projects are needed, the amount of work to be completed is dependent on final 2000-2001 budget.

4. Parking Shuttle Service: Curt reviewed the received petition requesting the parking lot shuttle operating for the balance of the semester. Curt explained the current poor utilization of the shuttle system does not warrant its extension. Curt indicated he and Terry Stewart will work on the publicity to improve utilization.
