015I know we've um addressed the but uh at Fall Creek Valley we do have quite a big divot as you enter that is part of the construction not our construction but the city's construction um for the the pathway and uh that does cause some I drive it almost daily um some some difficulty getting in and out of Fall Creek Valley I'm wondering if you could just address some of those concerns um and when they might be remedied yeah that's an ongoing issue we've uh are in constant communication with the City of Lawrence uh every time there is an issue that's brought to my attention I go to the city and they address that with a contractor so hopefully here in the next hopefully four weeks uh most of that work will be complete thank you
016great if there are no more questions for Mr Smith on this we'll move to the results of our elementary oven bids Mr Smith Madam president Dr Smith members of board uh we received bids on August 1st there were four bids submitted uh good competitive bids the low bid meeting all specification was Lancaster shirt equipment which is a veteran owned business for $584,500 to purchase ofs Mr Smith well is this for all of our elementary schools all 15 elementaries LC's and LC's and elementaries okay so this is 15 ovens we're talking about any questions board no questions there no questions we'll move on to the information the results of the RP for the CMC for Crest forestland and Mary Castle projects Mr Smith again sen president Dr Smith me members of the board interviews were conducted
017August 16th with five CMC contractors very good presentations were presented the the evaluation team consisted of Dr Smith Matt miles Roger Smith Amy Norman Crystal Pucket or members uh Anna Marie barell and Jen Carroll which is from Schmidt and then Scott hunt and Sean damaya uh with ratio uh the team selected three separate contractors for these three projects uh Cory Garcia for Forest Glenn Davis and Associates for cresview and powers and Suns for Mary Castle our recommendation will be to prove these three CMC contractors for these three projects board members do you have questions for Dr Smith Miss D I do have a question I know that for the results of the elementary oven bids we have uh score sheet that is shared with the public is there something that is shared um along those
018lines that we can add to board doc so the public can see how those were evaluated and why they were chosen yes we have a document of that and I can post that after the board meeting thank you question thank you Mr Smith um Mr Smith you're still up um RP for Energy savings contract Madam president Dr Smith members of the board uh we sent out three rfps for the guaranteed energy saving contractor uh this process is governed by the state statute Indiana code 36-1 d12.5 on how this process should work hbac controls Mechanical plumbing electrical and Roofing are all allowed in this process the process is much different and more involved uh than other Energy savings contracts that uh we looked at in the pass this process will be monitored and cost savings tracked
019as a result of the improvements being made to hbac controls Roofing upgrades that are done the savings could be used to offset our day-to-day uh cost for utilities or it could go back into our day-to-day maintenance and upkeep of our equipment of the three rfps we received one we were pleased to have uh the one by Performance Services this company is a leading company uh to perform guaranteed Energy savings contracts uh for the process in the state of Indiana and 17 other states so they are a national known company Performance Services also did some work here in msdlt in our hbac work back in the early 2000s their expertise and current knowledge of this district will benefit msdlt this process will allow us to do both our from the Blue Ribbon Phase 2 plan Priority
020One both hpac and roofs in one effort we would recommend the performance Service as our guaranteed energy savings contract um Mr Smith my question is as a guaranteed savings what is our guaranteed savings on this is there a a number is there is there a dollar in figure uh there will be uh what we do is this is similar to our CMC where we bring them in we work with Engineers Architects we build a project the scope of within our budget then that gives us a guaranteed maximum price and the same process will do with guaranteed Energy savings uh we can't do all the buildings in one year so we will prioritize and we got priority uh buildings that we would see first second third and fourth along with roofs we would package that information
021go through uh thorough uh evaluation of the building uh with Performance Services engineers and we'll conduct a uh spec and plans that will be bid for the project within that scope they will determine based off what we're upgrading we will have a savings amount as a result of that are we looking for a savings amount on our um energy expenditure are we looking for a savings on the cost of roofing where are we looking for these savings we could any savings we could we get we could could use for um lowering our year-to-year cost of energy uh we could also offset our maintenance budget by ongoing repairs that we will have over the years um so there's different ways that we can do that using those dollars putting it back into uh operations Andor education
022sure I'm just not sure how we track those dollars that we're saving well they have a guarantee so they will have to work with this for an ongoing period to track all of that savings so every year we will have uh a report of what savings we have performed as a result of doing those projects will they determine how much we save or will we be able to determine how much we save that'll be both of us working together I request again also on this one that we could see the Energy savings contract for this as well please great we will move on to the financial update our um CFO is not here this evening so we will ask Dr Smith to give us our financial update I am honored to step in for Mr
023miles as we meet every day uh to update our financial report Sheila can you start off with our general fund monitoring as you you can see we are in solid shape Mr miles is reporting that we are well on our way and actually our budget looks a little bit ahead of where we'd like for it to be but we will certainly continue to monitor that and uh keep us on track where we need to be at the end of the year the transportation fund is in a very good spot as he's indicated uh it's decreased back into projected both total revenue and expenses are above as projected so we're heading in the right direction in both of those accounts board questions uh we will move on at this point to committee board chair reports uh
