001start with roll call Bruce Schubert jennif Steve magazini um are there any public no public comments okay um we are we do have an executive session for the purpose of discussing land acquisition yes [Music] okay e for e [Music] oh yeah we'll easily make this 30 minutes EAS okay um where are we all right Steve do you want to start with the yes so for Technical Center update so the Career Technical Center update um we have uh the bid package one for the site work in the Corell is out to bid and we will be opening that on February 20th uh we are looking to have that second bid package out in mid-march and obviously we'll continue to develop um those those plans um for the internal structure as best we can we have uh
002well again I don't think you heard me I think I did say everything is on hold okay that budget is 100% rejected so I think we need to you know that's amazing but no I don't think anybody heard obviously we just have to have to hit the pause button okay item 4B which is our HVAC rtu replacement we had presented this last time and I know we wanted to review the fiveyear capital expenditure plan Dr Nell oh yeah um yes so uh Mr Shu you recall um that we talked about the rtus and I did share at the at that time that I wanted to bring back to you just or put in the packet so that you guys could see our five-year Capital Improvement plan and that we did uh include those and actually
003when we began the new heating and air conditioning project in 2019 at the time we were trying to be as Mo uh as cost-efficient as possible and so if there was a unit that was tied to the overall project that was um still had five or six years of life left we did not put those in the total project to include those but we were aware that in five years years potentially we would have to replace those so we allowed those units to live out the remainder of their existence and now as they are coming up for needing to be um replaced um we have built that into The Five-Year Plan as a total fee um that you'll find at the bottom there's also some items in talking with Steve that we are not having
004to do so that cost will actually not be as much for that particular year as you look at FY 25 and FY 26 that we would would certainly be able to replace those uh rooftop units that have come up um but we are carrying those costs on the overall Five-Year Plan so that they can be built in accounted for in the budget just like other maintenance kinds of issues like window replacements and um Roofing and those kinds of things so that's the only thing that we were I was just making good on what I shared last time that I was going to bring it back but that we have to get those rooftop units make sure they're functional I just wanted to show you where they were in the in the plan great any questions
005on that that is correct it'll be next next meeting I don't have any okay no all right item 4C is the uh Easter high school and odonnell asbestos abatement bid results so we are having the windows redone at both of those locations this summer and we have some uh abatements of the Mastic around the windows so we went out to bid for them and those bid results are in your packet for uh the the abatement of those two buildings and again that would be next action at the next board meeting any questions on that no no problem uh next item is the e- rates uh bid results so we have been very successful utilizing rate and getting um percentages up to 80 90% of reimbursement for those projects we went out uh with the help
006of the e- rate uh for Network racks um the license renewal for pal Alto and battery backups so we have um gotten all that information back and now the e- rate will review and uh assess and then allow and will let us know what we qualify for so we won't do any of this work till we get the approval from eate okay any questions on that no next item is the Waldo gymnasium update uh so the uh subflooring has been put in and they have the surface done and so now we are in the middle of um putting out the varnish on the flooring as well as painting the lines uh we will continue to work on that through this week and then the uh bleachers are expected to be in coming up uh on
007President's weekend okay so can we explain how we how we got so far behind on this [Music] project the main piece that put us behind by two weeks is the uh subf flooring that had to be replaced and and so when we originally had the schedule it was going to be done oh I'm sorry Steve I I think the board president wants to talk about like I think this originally was um scope uh uh planned for the uh winter break with no students in attendance I couldn't remember I know we talked about what happened to get us away from winter break so that we now had to move it during school do you remember that the the original originally we were going to look at taking a week before winter break and then have the
008two weeks but when when all was said and done the schedule was not uh appropriate and they needed more time than what we originally believed them to have oh so the company needed more time than originally they had stated yes okay and so that's how we got pushed to having it now and then just no one thought about this the odor for the right yeah I think for the most part these projects are done during the summer so there isn't necessarily a challenge with people being in the building during the time right because we will need when we're gonna we have a a rooc call going out to families Wednesday through Friday of this week we're going to go full remote so they'll still get instruction it'll count as a day of school it'll still
009be instruction but it will not be able to be on site it'll be remote um because we they have to finish there was a total of six layers I think and so they are now we asked them to please do it finish it Thursday night so they are able to do that so that by next the following Monday we'll be done finally with this that's our last home stretch I'm gonna try to be as polite as possible about this so who is managing these projects these walls look terrible are are these our walls do they look that do they look that bad well so really you know this this is terrible this is unacceptable that our kids have to be in a gymnasium like this does anybody really look what's in starting a project in
010at Christmas time and you know and now we're in the middle of school and the kids are missing the experience of going to school you know that's not uh that's not acceptable but it doesn't seem like any body's paying the price except the kids and and the taxpayers on the east side here because we've had cost overruns also with this job so really I'd like to know please share who's managing these jobs anybody I mean we have our our uh Architects are working with the contractor the bleachers were pulled out and that area still needs to be painted we look for some major credits on this because this is totally unacceptable and this business with this paint I I guess I'm going to have to go now myself and board is let's let's reiterate this
011the board is not paid to do this but I guess I myself am G to have to go and take a tour of every building because I can't believe our kids are in a building like this so I'll be calling Lisa tomorrow and scheduling my tours so this is unbelievable did we not look at painting these walls can we advance the who's ever running the slide here to what picture Miss Johnson's looking at is this the one can you zoom in yeah Steve and I went in yesterday and I don't think that painting was a part of the original uh scope of that project but it definitely needs to be done and that was a question we talked about yesterday well and we believe it is in there they just they needed to remove the
012were removing the bleachers and that's what that that area is where the bleachers would be sitting they are going to paint that though before the the next bleachers are put back in right I don't know gymnasium even the walls that don't have the bleachers with them look terrible then as for the disruption in teaching and learning um so Waldo has already had well at least one day aware of one day and so they're going to do three more this week so that's going to bring them to a total of four remote learning days but the smell we just didn't want to expose our staff and our the kids to all day yeah and that's fine the staff you know should not have to smell fumes but if we knew we were going to have these
013fumes then probably the project should have been put off till this summer you know I can't believe that somebody didn't know how to open a can of varnish and smell it wow amazing just amazing so how does this get executed Steve do they do the whole floor at once and then yeah so the floor is nowes for how many hours I mean is it the floor is now completed and they have um two coats down and right now they are painting the lines then they have to go back and put top coats on and there's a 24-hour cure period in between the top coat so that why Wednesday the 24 hours will be to Thursday they'll put on the final on Friday interesting okay well all I can say is we'll be looking further into
014that yeah I'm going to schedule my tour of the buildings okay the uh next it item is uh we had an emergency situation at EAS high school with a hot water storage tank uh it is leaking and there is quite a bit of corrosion on the top of it so we were looking for an emergency replacement of the water tank itself um the cost uh does come to $48,000 which we do have um in the uh bidding specs we have the opportunity to uh be exempt from bidding in order to take care of this emergency situation the hot water tank is needed through the building in order to make sure that the food is being provided so we want to move forward with this emergency repair yeah I don't have an objection to that no
015I don't water storage that's unforeseen okay and then the last item is the work orders and I know um from previous meetings we talked about separating separating out delivery from uh engineering and then and by by category so uh the items that are in the attachment break out some of those items that were requested previously okay okay any questions on that no I don't do you have anything else no um just real quick Steve back to Waldo um who's who's managing that project uh Construction Inc is the contractor all right thank you architect what's that this FH passion is not on the project our Architects serve as our as an oversight for the project we only have FH passion on the a new building all right and construction a we not had problems with them
016before uh not I seem to remember that name from somewhere just deemed him not responsible on another vid yeah okay all right but I don't know if you guys have in the past we did no I don't know why I think that well maybe not we did just rule them out and I think that's what we we we prevented them yes were not the most responsible bidder just recently for this next summer projects right right because of the result of what's been going on here and they're on On Target to meet this timeline yes oh yeah with the two week delay because of the under um subor sub flooring all right give us an old gem did we not through see that we were going to have subfloor problems I think they did some testing
017on the corners but not in the middle of the floor because they didn't want to ruin the middle structure and the the outside edges didn't appear to have any concerns but when they started to rip up the floor is when that subfloor was rotting in towards the middle of the floor all right okay anything else that's it that's all anything on in that no no okay we're adjourned at 643 thank you for
