So, good evening, Mr. Chair. Want to give you update on school and we'll take a look at some pictures so you can see the render drawing of what the building is supposed to look like. Um, so this is on the second This is the new cafeteria space that's coming and I apologize for all. It is a construction site so lots of things going on inside this new space is a large space and this is back down on the first floor. So this is
003looking into the um alternative education office space and you've seen this picture before uh with the The studs up this has you see a lot of the Hback which probably this will be down hallway in the ceiling tray really come along. This is just one of the classroom and again you can see all the pre-work that's taking place ready to be hung in the ceiling. This is again on the second floor. So this is a shot on the back corner of the addition on the second floor and looking at two offices and a conference room. I wanted to give you some aerial shots. Um, they would have finished the brick work. They did run into a little bit of issues getting more and no issues. No on the side of the building. This is looking
004directly from the far end of the building. I don't know if you the roof the color of the roof is white and so that's the fabric that goes down. There is the beautiful image looking from the stadium and the top of the There will go. This is a shot of the auxiliary gym edition. It's coming along very nicely. And so you can see how everything matches up there very nicely. Um if you notice the the joint between the old brick work and the new brick work, we purposely put a darker color brick there to make that stand out. So it looked very intentional almost match exactly the area in yellow that door there will not stay there. That's just temporary entrance into the space. Still got concrete need to go inside. So, this is the
005way in and out of that space. And that is all for the building. Um, everything's going great. It's looking beautiful inside the building. The work is coming along. Our church contractor started their work this week in there. I'm a little bit personal because of that. I can code all of our So if it's a if it's a drop for a phone and we know that and it's that cable is one color it's going to a TV that's another color and so when you look you see all these various colors that is final Good evening everyone. Good evening. So we had four change orders this two reported on the sheet that is in your packet. One for roof on the roof. They're minor brought for you for approval. is to consolidate the allowances for work, the
006allowances that are within the construction contract. And the second is to take those allowances to address some pump issues for domestic water systems. So you approval later in the meeting. Um currently as far as the cost breakdown for the LCMS edition we have spent 14,157,29360. This represents 54.47% of our budget. We are currently completed 67.33% of the project. So we are on time and we are under your form architects. So any questions from the board? So question I had was the weather should be almost done almost. So We're pretty much taking place inside any consent agenda. Mr. Stricken second. Okay. So, you got a second. I got a second before we begin discussion. Okay. All right. You okay? That's okay. So, it's okay. the consent agenda to approve everything except and you second. All right.
007So now we have an amended motion to approve the consent agenda with the exception of 8.05. So and we have already had a second. So any further discussion on that there being none. All those in favor signify by saying I. Those opposed. Motion passes. And is it the board's pleasure that we address 8.05 separately now or do we want to put it under now? Time for discussion. Sure. I just want to I'm not sure but there's my daughter. Any other discussion? All those in favor signify by saying I action toward the general contractor for the CT. Yes. So, Mr. Clark is here with RMM and Dan as well to present the bid for the general contractor for the CT center. Great. Thank you very much. So, very excited to be here. Two weeks ago, we
008got six bids for the new CT building and the low bid was build. They are the contate for a bridge connector between the existing high school over the new CC building over top of the bus. So tonight we are requesting approval from you all to award a construction contract builder for both the base and edit [Music] 29293,000 construction of that project is it will start at the end of this month, the end of June and the project will be done in two years. The building itself will be done in the spring7 and then the renovation work needed to tie the bridge into the high school done in the summer of 27. So about two years from now when we wrap it up Jeff I have one question. Will the U pupil portal the bridge? Yes.
009Will will I heard you say it's in the summer but is that going to impact um academic operations? Will it impact our our our student population while we're doing construction? Good question. The specs were written such that it could not student operation for the bus driver in the summer of 2026. So it does not impact other just to clarify one of the things you said on bid day um that you were very pleased with the bids because they were very tight bids they were etc. Would you expand a little bit on that? So we got six bids on day and the low bid of course was builders 29.293 million. Four of the six bids were in the budget frame under the budget frame for this project and so the bid the second bid was from
010construction. So, more than the next $30 million is excellent. And just for clarification, I believe that you shared with the board that you bid their bid and honestly success and I' had five or six projects in the past few There seems to be a lot of unknowns out there these days. You feel good if we'll be able to keep that schedule, you know, materials or labor and all issues. Yes, sir. Billy, so this is a fixed contract, fixed fee contract. So they have put a number there obviously there might be some market issues with materials or labor. What we're seeing in the market is the material problem as far as material that's getting better. This also also has a long time to build any problem. Jack, you've said in the past that this is not
011a big building, but it's complex. Can you expand on that a little bit for me? Yes, good point. So, this building has many different programs. Middle school edition is lots of classroom very similar. This program has everyone classroom and we've also designed working with the CT staff Todd and David a lot of flexibility. So there a lot of flexibility in this building and every design it own. So it's a more complex building than a typical school, but also this 57,000 square feet. It's not a huge building. It's going to be a very exciting building. Location very exciting. Well, Jack, when you talk about it being unique, is are is there flexibility? I'm going to make sure that there's flexibility in there that we're not locked into one thing. There'll be plenty of flexibility so we
012can move as the market moves. Will we be able to move? Yes sir. That was one of the things that we talked about from the starting this project local businesses etc. How can we build flexibility? So one of the ways you talked about it was to make sure that we had power necessary as programs need to evolve or program needs to change. So we've got lots of places in the building where we have electrical panels that are associated just with one shop. Instead of having one panel or five, we got one of those power and a separate panel. We built lots of situation. It's also got lots of opportunities for programs to change because the way is set up. Thank you, Jack. Yes, sir. lot of extra spaces we call breakers in that room itself.
013Nobody go back 100. I think one of the things that the committee discussed and the committee made up of many community partners etc was the was the importance of flexibility and speaking of you know Andy Wade at the county as well as he's looking to recruit businesses to come in what what is the market going to call for what does that look like what it may look like today could be way different even five years from now and the committee really felt it was important uh as it was designed to make those spaces flexible so these labs could change and and look different essentially at a moment's notice if need be. And so um the understanding is that that those spaces are very much designed to be flexible and I appreciate that. We got a
014compressed air system. And then one of the things that I wanted to ask about safety very seriously that all of our other buildings are there any considerations. Oh yes. So we got a secure vest at the main entrance. You got secure vests at the little lions area or the training area. And of course, the bridge connect allows students to travel from the high school to the CT building back. Well, the other thing I was going to ask you to do, if you will, because I think it's important, um the the contract itself, which the board would look to to consider to sign tonight, is the base bid plus the ad alternate of 29 million, but then there's also non- construction cost that I think is important for us to discuss and and understand as well.
015Okay. Yes. So, the construction cost itself is the 29.293 billion associated with other project costs, non construction costs, design fees, and furniture and equipment, technology, a few other things like that. So, what we've got is a budget of $3 million for equipment over the next years. We've got a $1.5 million budget for technology technology. We've also got some money set up,000 nutrient credits to offset storm water. We got a $500,000 money in there as far as utility and fees for those. We also have budgeted $2.5 million in total project. So 2.9 million So the anticipated total cost 39,26 tonight and I think I think as you look at this project knowing that it's a CTE center and every room is complex and different from the next Like when we're building our middle school edition, most
016of the rooms look the same. Some are a little smaller, some are a little bigger, but most of them look the same. When you look at the $3 million furniture and equipment line, obviously there's complex equipment in many of these rooms. And I think that's why certainly that line is higher as well as the $ 1.5 million in technology. Um you're looking at specific um designs for each of those rooms and specific equipment as well. So u but in talking with the team they feel very comfortable with those numbers uh going into this that we'll be in a good place with those numbers for that quick [Music] I will say this is very exciting very exciting it's been a long time coming for many many years I think Mr. May the first one to start
017that conversation. So it's great to see if there are any questions. Any further discussion? All those in favor signify by saying I those Sherman is truly smiling. Yes, he is. Yes, he is. Well, and just as you walk away and I think we should clap because it's a big deal. But I also think um just thinking Jack and his team and David and Todd and Bo and Kenny have spent countless countless hours um designing this building try to ready us for this. Um so I do want to say thank you to all of you for the work you've done and now we get to start making it all happen. So so yes, thank you. I think we all remember exciting times. Um so move along with our agenda on our next any further discussion question
018that being said all those in favor signify by saying I motion We have a second for that. Second. Second. Any further discussion? These are continuations. So the same question as well. ask by saying I have second going to come up and talk a little bit about that. This is our annual submission of our CT almost Any questions? Bo, this thing I noticed there was some changes last year in the DOE and the way they were accrediting things more and all this is compliant with all of that, right? Yeah. Yes. That's what I was like. Thank you for that question. Any other questions? Thank you very much. We have a motion on the table. So, all those in favor signify by saying I. Those motion carries. Second any discussion any changes? Okay. So questionify by saying
019I you want to discuss? Yeah, one of the um this what this lease is about is it's actually at the Sage Building and it's leasing uh two spaces there a classroom for our adult education program ran uh that that Miss Lola Richardson, Mr. Barbara Wilson currently run. And with this program, we we ran out of space here on site to have that. Um so we're we're going to would like to move them to that space for the next three years. And then once we have our facility built, we also got to loosen up some other facilities um to potentially bring them back here. But uh this is an important program for our community and they do a great job with it and we certainly want to continue to support them and making it happen with
020being able to provide a space and this will allow us to do that. Mr. would provide an opportunity for that answer. Yes, sir. And um and I assume you all looked at the square footage of the building itself. We have Todd and David and myself spent quite a bit of time up there with them as well and Miss Richardson and Miss Wilson to make sure it's going to meet their needs and and I will say the folks at Sigville have worked with us um very positively to make this work out. So this is for three years. Yes. which would then open up other facilities that we have here for this. This program wouldn't necessarily go into the new CTE center, but it would open up other facilities. And what what's why that's important is because
021we're locked in for that price. It can't go up for those three years. Correct. I guess her question. Yes. Well, I think if you approve the lease, you're approving it for three years. Correct. Any other discussion? If not, all those signify by saying. Yeah. So this uh one brief calendar change for the 202526 school year which would be at the end of the first nine weeks. We have a work day and a staff development day. We would add staff development community service day there at the end of that first nine weeks. Um in in doing our staff development survey with our staff, all of our staff. Um one of the things that we recognize is that many of our staff development days get wiped out with snow days etc in the second semester. So having
022one moving that day to the 14th being able to make sure we have that solidified to help our staff continue to grow um in their craft I think is important. So we would also provide community service opportunities on this day as well for our students which is something that has been valued here in our community and we want to continue to do that. So we just ask for this revision and then for the school year that's the only change in the you already approved. Any questions or discussions? I appreciate you being proactive in this last year. I think we had more than we've had the past few years. That being said, all those in favor signify by saying this. Yeah, we do that. They were so last last month. office presented last month. And then
023my question from last month that I'll repeat no additional cost. So any other questions? All right. All those in favor signify by saying I passes. We have a second second discussion. So yes sir as I spoke in previous meetings allowances and this change order is consolidating the allowances all the stuff. So we're consolidating those into one contract and then we're going to $160,99.50 transfer that 335,000. Yes, sir. motion is just any questions or discussion from the board. All those in favor signify by saying I motion We have a second second. the change order 16 edition the water pressure center now we want to update what we have building we want to update that pumps pressure tank and we want to take original pumps for cold water system and for the heat systems total pumps set
024for those pumps and associated $285,935,000 just and then the 285 out. So that how much about 50,000 roughly 50,000 contractual contract and doing that seems like to me this is an issue that part of the building sounds like we didn't do it now in the future and if we did it in the future Any other questions? All right. Motion on the table. All those in favor signify by saying. Those motion carries. Thank you very much. And on toformational items. So yes. So, um, tonight we're excited because we have we have, uh, had conversation after conversation about the JOTC program, uh, coming to our high school and to our school division. And uh tonight we're here to present to
