Mar 11, 2025 Board Bond Special Meeting

[00:00:03]

GOOD AFTERNOON. IT IS 4:42. I'M CALLING TO ORDER THE GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF TRUSTEES SPECIAL MEETING FOR TUESDAY,

[I. Call to Order and Determination of Quorum ]

MISS HOGAN, ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC FORUM COMMENTS? THANK YOU. AND WE'LL PROCEED TO DR. LOPEZ SUPERINTENDENT'S MESSAGE.

[III. Superintendent's Message]

I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE LAKEVIEW COMMUNITY AND SOUTH GARLAND COMMUNITY FROM PRINCIPALS, TEACHERS AND STAFF FOR WELCOMING STUDENTS ON A TEMPORARY DISPLACEMENT.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU COME TOGETHER AS A FAMILY, IT REALLY SPEAKS VOLUMES ON HOW EVERYBODY IS WORKING SO WELL TOGETHER JUST TO MAKE JUST TO MAKE THE TRANSITION SO WELCOMING FOR OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS.

YOU KNOW, IT'S SAD THAT IT TAKES A CRISIS TO SEE THE EXCELLENCE HAPPENING AT THESE SCHOOLS.

AND EACH OF THE PRINCIPALS AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS, OUR TEACHERS HAVE BEEN SO RESILIENT, AND THEY'VE REALLY DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB. AND I JUST WANT TO START OFF WITH A SHOUT OUT TO THEM.

COOL. THANK YOU. WE'LL NOW MOVE TO ITEM FOUR INFORMATION ITEMS.

[IV.A. Receive Presentation on Bond 2023 Program Summary Update – Javier Fernandez]

ALL RIGHT. OKAY. GOOD AFTERNOON, PRESIDENT SELDERS, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD , DR.

LOPEZ, EXCITED TO BE WITH YOU HERE TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT OUR BOND PROGRAM AND ALL THE GREAT ACTIVITIES THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN THE BOND.

AND WITH THAT, WE'LL GET STARTED. FOR EVERYONE'S EDIFICATION, THE BOND PROGRAM CONSISTS OF THREE PROPOSITIONS, THE MAJORITY BEING THE SAFETY FACILITY UPGRADES AND INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS.

YOU CAN SEE THAT THE TOTAL FOR BOND IS 1.279 BILLION.

UPDATE ON OUR SOFTBALL BASEBALL PROGRAM. THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THAT PROJECT.

PART ONE IS DONE. PART TWO WE HAVE GOT OUR FIELDS.

I CAN SAY THIS. THE THE STUDENTS ARE FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE CAMPUSES THE STUDENTS STARTED PRACTICING ON THE FIELDS. LAST WEEK, THIS WEEK, THE GIRLS SOFTBALL FOR LAKEVIEW IS PRACTICING ON THEIR FIELD, AND THE BOYS BASEBALL FOR LAKEVIEW WILL START PRACTICING NEXT WEEK.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE COACHES, ALONG WITH ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT TO WORK TOWARDS GETTING THOSE THAT PART TWO ACCOMPLISHED. SO THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO'S WHO'S WORKED WITH US.

AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE CAMPUSES WHO HAVE AND THE COACHES AND THE STAFF WHO HAVE WORKED WITH US THROUGH THIS PROCESS OF GETTING THESE NEW FIELDS READY FOR THEM. I THINK THE STUDENTS ARE GOING TO BE THOROUGHLY EXCITED TO PLAY ON THIS NEW SURFACE.

AND SO WITH NEW SOUND SYSTEMS, AND I WILL LET YOU KNOW THAT ON SCOREBOARDS WE ARE A LITTLE DELAYED ON THAT.

THOSE ARE STILL COMING IN, BUT WE ARE WORKING WITH OUR ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT TO SET UP SOME TEMPORARY SCOREBOARDS FOR THESE CAMPUSES.

THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT WITH THE PART TWO. THE PART THREE.

WE STILL ARE ON TARGET TO ISSUE A DEMOLITION CSP FOR THE END OF THIS MONTH.

AND THEN WE WILL LOOK AT ISSUING A COMPLETE DESIGN PACKAGE FOR APRIL FOR THE NEW SOFTBALL BASEBALL COMPLEX FOR GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL. SO THAT ONE IS MOVING ALONG REALLY, REALLY NICELY.

THESE ARE SOME QUICK PHOTOS OF THE FIELDS THAT YOU SEE.

THIS IS SOUTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL.

AND THIS IS THE NORTH GARLAND SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL.

SO I THINK, AGAIN, THE STUDENTS AND STAFF WILL BE REALLY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO PLAY ON THESE FIELDS.

AND WE APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT EVERYONE HAS GIVEN US IN TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH THIS PROJECT HERE.

THE FIELDHOUSE AN MACS WANTED TO GIVE EVERYONE AN UPDATE ON THAT STATUS OF THAT.

AS YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE THREE MUNICIPALITIES THE CITY OF GARLAND, THE CITY OF ROWLETT, AND THE CITY OF SACHSE. WHERE WE ARE, THIS GIVES YOU AN UPDATE OF WILLIAM STADIUM.

THE SITE PERMIT IS APPROVED. SITE PERMIT IS STILL PENDING FOR SOUTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL.

MATTER OF FACT, I JUST GOT AN EMAIL THIS TODAY THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED AND SO YOU CAN SEE THE ONES THAT HAVE SITE APPROVALS AND THEY WANT TO HAVE BUILDING PERMIT APPROVALS.

[00:05:01]

IN ORDER TO ISSUE A BUILDING PERMIT WITHIN THE CITY OF GARLAND NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR SITE PACKAGE COMPLETE, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO HAVE IF THERE IS A REPLAT THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR THE PROPERTY.

IF THERE'S A REPLAT THAT HAS TO BE DONE, THAT ACTUALLY HAS TO BE FILED SUBMITTED AND FILED BEFORE THE BUILDING PERMIT IS ACTUALLY ISSUED. AND SO THAT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT. AND THE CITY OF ROWLETT AND THE CITY OF SACHSE DO NOT REQUIRE THAT.

THEY ACTUALLY REQUIRE THE REPLAT TO BE SUBMITTED JUST PRIOR TO CO WHICH IS THE BUILDING IS GOING UP.

AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE PRETTY MUCH ALMOST DONE.

AND THAT'S WHEN THEY WILL REQUEST FOR A REPLAT TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY.

SO VERY, VERY DIFFERENT IN HOW THE MUNICIPALITIES OPERATE, VERY, VERY DIFFERENT ON HOW THEY COORDINATE WITH QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS WITH THE DESIGN TEAMS ON THE ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AS FAR AS OUR DESIGNS GO.

SO WE ARE WORKING REALLY, REALLY CLOSELY WITH EACH MUNICIPALITY AND TRYING TO GET THIS ACCOMPLISHED.

I WILL ALSO SHARE WITH YOU THAT OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK FOR CORE CONSTRUCTION IS WORKING VERY DILIGENTLY ON THE CAMPUSES AT THIS POINT. THE CAMPUSES THAT THAT HAVE SITE PERMITTING, WE HAVE MOBILIZED.

WE HAVE STARTED TO MOVE DIRT ON QUITE A FEW OF THESE PROPERTIES.

AND SO I WILL JUST SAY THAT TO BEAR WITH US. WE'VE GOT A LOT OF DUST THAT IS TAKING PLACE AND MORE TO COME. SO FOR THOSE THAT ARE BEING INCONVENIENCED AT THIS TIME, SO BEAR WITH US.

WE DO UNDERSTAND THAT OUR PROPERTIES ARE ARE TIGHT.

WE'VE GOT SOME SMALL SITES AND WE'RE PUTTING IN A VERY, VERY LARGE BUILDING THAT IS THE FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING.

WELL, YOU MAY THINK THE FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING IS BIG, BUT THERE ARE SUPPORT PIECES TO THAT BUILDING THAT REQUIRE IT TO BE MUCH LARGER.

SO THAT'S WHY THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF INCONVENIENCE THERE. SO BEAR WITH US AS WE WORK THROUGH THIS PROJECT.

WE REALLY THINK WE'RE MAKING SOME REALLY GOOD HEADWAY. NOW, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE.

SO WE KNEW THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD BE STAGGERED IN A SENSE THAT WE WOULD ISSUE THREE SEPARATE GMPS.

SO IF YOU RECALL, WE ISSUED A 3 GMPS, GMP ONE WAS FOR SOME INVESTIGATION OF UTILITIES.

GMP TWO WAS FOR THE STEEL AND SO WE KNEW THAT AHEAD OF TIME.

SO WE'VE ORDERED THE STEEL MONTHS AGO. AND SO NOW YOU SEE THE STEEL HAS BEEN DELIVERED FOR THE INDOOR FACILITY, WHICH WAS WAS A GREAT PLANNING ON THE PARTS OF THE GARLAND SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND SO YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'VE GOTTEN THE STEEL FOR THE MAJORITY OF THESE CAMPUSES.

AND YOU CAN SEE HERE THE GRADING THAT'S ACTUALLY TAKING PLACE.

THIS IS NORTH NAAMAN FOREST. THIS IS ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL.

WE'VE GOT QUITE A BIT OF GRADING THAT'S GOING ON.

SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL IS IS GETTING READY TO REALLY START GOING OVER THERE AS WELL.

SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE WITH THAT PROJECT.

SO THANK YOU AGAIN FOR EVERYONE FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

AND, AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD. ON THE FREEMAN ELEMENTARY PROJECT, AGAIN, THIS IS WITHIN THE CITY OF GARLAND.

THIS IS ACTUALLY IN THE PERMITTING CYCLE, IF YOU WILL, FOR THIS PROJECT.

WE HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH WITH THE CITY ON SITE PERMITTING.

WE HAVE IF YOU RECALL, LAST MONTH WE AWARDED THE GMP TO LEE LEWIS CONSTRUCTION.

AND SO WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM QUICKLY TO MOBILIZE.

BUT THE PERMITTING PROCESS IS STILL SOMETHING THAT I'M WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH THE CITY OF GARLAND TO ISSUE A SITE PERMIT FOR THAT, FOR THAT PROJECT. KIMBERLIN ACADEMY, WE WILL BRING TO YOU THIS AFTERNOON, EXCUSE ME, THIS MEETING, A RECOMMENDATION FOR GMP NUMBER TWO FOR THE KIMBERLIN ACADEMY.

VERY EXCITED TO GET STARTED ON THAT PROJECT THERE.

WE HAVE JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, THE BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION WAS ACTUALLY SUBMITTED ON 12-19, AND THE SITE PERMIT APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED ON 12-20.

WE ARE HERE AT 3-11 AND STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

SO THIS IS AN ARDUOUS TASK WHEN IT COMES TO SUBMITTING FOR PERMITS WITHIN THE CITY OF GARLAND.

BUT WE ARE WORKING REALLY CLOSELY WITH THEM TO TRY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

SO THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE PROPERTY FOR KIMBERLIN ACADEMY, LAKEVIEW, CENTENNIAL, AND NAAMAN FOREST HIGH SCHOOL.

[00:10:08]

OUR GMP, WE WHEN I SAY GMP APRIL 17TH, THAT IS WHEN THE GMP, MEANING THE GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE IS GOING TO BE SUBMITTED BACK TO THE DISTRICT FROM THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK.

THE GMP SUBMISSION TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, WE PLAN ON PRESENTING THAT TO YOU IN MAY.

THE PLAYGROUNDS GIVE YOU A SUBMISSIONS FOR THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES THIS AFTERNOON THAT WE PLAN ON BRINGING TO YOU THAT AS A RECOMMENDATION.

ON THE PERMITTING PROCESS FOR THAT, WANTING TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE, THE CITY OF GARLAND, THE BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED ON 12-19.

THE SITE PERMIT IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THE CITY OF GARLAND ON THIS.

THERE'S A FENCING PERMIT REQUIRED. AND IN ORDER TO GET THE FENCING PERMIT, WE HAVE TO HAVE A GENERAL CONTRACTOR ON BOARD FOR THAT TO HAPPEN.

AND WE HAVE WE WON'T HAVE THAT DONE UNTIL WE ACTUALLY RECEIVE APPROVAL FROM THE BOARD.

THE CITY OF ROWLETT, A COMMERCIAL ACCESSORY STRUCTURE PERMIT THAT IS PENDING.

THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR BEING ASSIGNED TO THE PROJECT.

THERE IS NO BUILDING PERMIT REQUIRED. THERE IS NO SITE PERMIT REQUIRED.

THE CITY OF SACHSE THE BUILDING PERMIT APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED ON 12-12 AND A SITE PERMIT IS NOT REQUIRED.

SO YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE SOME SUBTLE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EACH THREE MUNICIPALITIES ON HOW THEY HANDLE IMPROVEMENTS TO PROPERTY.

THE FENCING PROJECT. THAT'S THE ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES.

THAT'S A PHASE ONE BECAUSE THAT'S ACTUALLY BROKEN UP INTO TWO PHASES.

THE SUBMISSION TO THE BOARD OF APPROVAL FOR THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.

WE PLAN ON HAVING THAT THIS EVENING PERMITTING FOR THE CITY OF GARLAND, THERE HAS BEEN A VARIANCE THAT HAS BEEN SUBMITTED FOR 12 CAMPUSES. THE FENCING PERMIT WAS SUBMITTED ON 12-19.

THE CITY OF ROWLETT FENCING PERMIT WAS SUBMITTED ON 12-20, AND THE FENCING PERMIT FOR THE CITY OF SACHSE WAS SUBMITTED ON 12-18.

SO AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE THE TIME FRAMES THAT OUR DESIGN TEAMS ARE BEING VERY PROACTIVE IN SUBMITTING THEIR DOCUMENTATION IN TIME. BUT AS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF PERMITTING, IT CAN BE RATHER ARDUOUS TASK WITH THAT PROCESS, THE FIRE ALARM PROJECT. AGAIN, THAT IS ACTUALLY BROKEN UP INTO FIVE PHASES WHAT YOU SEE THERE IS THE FIRST THREE PHASES OF THAT PROJECT, BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE ONES WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW.

THE FIRST ONE INCLUDES BRANDENBURG, ARMSTRONG, ETHRIDGE, PARSONS PRE-KINDERGARTEN, THE AEC, MARVIN PADGETT, TAX OFFICE. WE DO HAVE THERE'S CONSTRUCTION TAKING PLACE AT BRANDENBURG WITH THE FIRE ALARM, UNFORTUNATELY THAT IS STILL GOING ON. WHILE WE DO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE SANITARY SEWER LINES, THAT THIS IS A SEPARATE PROJECT. ARMSTRONG ELEMENTARY, THERE'S CONSTRUCTION STAGE.

ETHERIDGE IS ACTUALLY COMPLETE. THEY'RE REMOVING THE OLD SYSTEM THERE.

AND AT PARSONS PRE-KINDERGARTEN, THEY'RE ACTUALLY REMOVING THE OLD SYSTEM.

AND THAT ONE IS COMPLETE AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE THAT WE CONTINUE TO MAKE SOME REALLY GOOD PROGRESS ON THIS PROJECT HERE.

THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF QUITE A BIT OF WORK THAT HAS TO TAKE PLACE ON THE UPGRADING OF THE FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS. PHASE TWO, YOU CAN SEE THE WORK THAT'S BEEN TAKING PLACE THERE AND PHASE THREE, THE CAMPUSES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

AND WE'VE GOT DOCUMENT EXCHANGES COMPLETE. SO WE'LL BE WORKING ON DEVELOPING SOME PURCHASE REQUISITIONS FOR THAT.

THOSE PHASE TWO AND PHASE THREE. THE CAMERA REFRESH.

YOU CAN SEE THE PHASE ONE WE'VE SUBMITTED FOR PURCHASE ORDERS, AND THE INSTALLATION IS ACTUALLY TAKING PLACE FEBRUARY THROUGH JULY ON THE CAMERA REFRESH.

ONCE WE FINISH WITH THAT, WE WILL START WITH PHASE TWO.

AND FROM THERE WE WILL PROCEED ON TO PHASE THREE.

THESE ARE CAMPUSES THAT ARE THAT ARE HAVING A SECURITY CAMERA REFRESH.

THE ACCESS CONTROL THAT IS ALSO TAKING PLACE AT THIS TIME.

WE STILL PLAN ON FINISHING THIS MONTH FROM MY UNDERSTANDING ON THE FIRST PHASE AND THEN ON THE PHASE TWO, WE ARE DOING SITE WALKS FOR THOSE TEN PHASES, AND THEN WE'LL ALSO DO ONSITE WALKS FOR THE 13 CAMPUSES THAT ARE IN PART THREE, PHASE THREE. EXCUSE ME, THE DOOR HARDWARE PROJECT THAT'S 64 CAMPUSES.

SO DOOR HARDWARE INSTALLATION. IT'S ACTUALLY MOVED TO APRIL, WHICH IS NEXT MONTH.

AND THAT IS DUE TO DELIVERIES OF THE CORES AND THE THE HARDWARE THAT WE ARE LOOKING TO RECEIVE.

AND SO THERE'S BEEN A DELAY FROM THE MANUFACTURER ON THAT.

SO WE'LL GET THAT STARTED AS SOON AS WE RECEIVE THE PRODUCT.

THE PHASE TWO PROJECTS, WE'VE HAD SOME REALLY GOOD MEETINGS WITH DESIGN TEAM ON ELEMENTARY NUMBER THREE,

[00:15:08]

AND SO WE'LL BRING THAT BACK TO YOU NEXT MONTH.

SOUTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, NORTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, THERE'S SOME SCOPE VERIFICATION THAT IS STILL TAKING PLACE ON THAT SPECIFIC CAMPUS AND ON HICKMAN, NORTHLAKE, ROWLETT AND TOLER OUR SCOPE BUDGET IS COMPLETE NOW AND THEN SOLICITATION.

WE JUST RECEIVED OUR SOLICITATION FOR PHASE TWO BID PACK FIVE THAT WE RECEIVED RESPONSES BACK TODAY FOR THAT.

AND SO WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT AS A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD NEXT MONTH.

SO QUITE A LOT OF MOVING PARTS THAT WE'VE GOT PHASE TWO BID PACK SEVEN, OUR FENCING THAT'S OUR SEVEN HIGH SCHOOLS, 12 MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND FOUR ALTERNATIVE CENTER ALTERNATIVE SPECIAL PROGRAM FACILITIES.

BUDGET SCOPE TO BUDGET WAS IN FEBRUARY. AND WE'RE WORKING ON BRINGING THAT PROJECT BACK TO YOU AS A SCHEMATIC DESIGN AS WELL.

INTRUSION ALARM. WE'VE ISSUED A PURCHASE REQUISITION.

THE GOAL IS TO DO BEAVER ELEMENTARY AT THE SUMMER SO THAT WE CAN DO THE INTRUSION ALARM THERE.

WATERPROOFING AND CLADDING. WE'VE COMPLETED OUR 50% PAGE TURN.

SO WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT AND START FINISHING UP ON THE DRAWINGS SO WE CAN GET A BETTER IDEA OF OF THE TOTAL SCOPE THAT WE'RE WORKING ON THAT PROJECT.

THIS IS OUR DDC CONTROLS UPDATE. THE CAMPUSES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT.

OUR LOCAL AREA NETWORK UPGRADE FOR THIS MONTH, OUR HUB SITES, THE EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN ORDERED AND THE METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK, THE EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN ORDERED FOR THAT. AND YOU CAN SEE THE INSTALLATION DATES FOR THOSE ARE IN THE SUMMER IN JUNE AND JULY.

IN PHASE THREE, THE ELEMENTARY NUMBER FOUR, WE DID PERFORM AN ARCHITECTURAL KICKOFF MEETING FOR THAT.

AND WE'RE WORKING ON GETTING FURTHER CLARIFICATIONS ON THAT ON THAT PACKAGE, THE ATHLETIC PACKAGE.

WE'RE COURTING CAMPUS DEPARTMENT MEETINGS. WE'VE HAD SEVERAL GOOD MEETINGS WITH OUR DESIGN TEAM, ALONG WITH OUR CMAR ON THAT PROJECT THERE. AND SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH UNDERSTANDING THE SCOPE, AND THAT HAS TO TAKE PLACE ON EACH ONE OF THESE THREE CAMPUSES.

THE ELEMENTARY ENHANCEMENTS FOR THOSE CAMPUSES.

WE'VE COMPLETED THE DEPARTMENTAL CAMPUS MEETINGS.

I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS BETWEEN THESE CAMPUSES.

WHAT ARE WE DOING? WHAT ARE WE GETTING? WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF THE WORK THAT'S BEING TAKEN PLACE? SO WE ARE DOING A LOT OF FACE TO FACE MEETINGS WITH CAMPUSES AND COMMUNICATING TO THEM WHAT THE SCOPE OF THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE AT EACH ONE OF THEIR CAMPUSES.

THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL RENOVATIONS, THE END USER MEETINGS, THOSE ARE ONGOING FOR THOSE CAMPUSES, AND THE ELEMENTARY ENHANCEMENTS FOR THOSE CAMPUSES.

YOU CAN SEE PHASE THREE, BID PACK FIVE. WE ARE DOING DISCOVERY STAGE AT THIS POINT FOR THAT CAMPUS AND FOR THOSE CAMPUSES.

AND ON PHASE THREE, BID PACK SEVEN, WHICH IS OUR NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER, WE WILL BE PROVIDING TO YOU A SCHEMATIC DESIGN PRESENTATION THIS MONTH.

WE'VE COMPLETED OUR SCOPE TO BUDGET, AND WE'VE GOT THE ARCHITECT OF RECORD, ALONG WITH THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK HERE TO PROVIDE A PRESENTATION TO YOU TONIGHT. PROPOSITION C, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE STUDENTS AND STAFF COMPUTER REPLACEMENTS, THAT'S IN THE DEPLOYMENT PHASE. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THAT'S SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETE PER THE SCHEDULE ON TOP AT THE THIRD QUARTER OF THIS YEAR, ALONG WITH THE CHROMEBOOK REFRESH WILL BEGIN IN MAY THROUGH THE SUMMER AND WILL END AT THE END OF AUGUST.

AND THIS IS OUR FINANCIAL SUMMARY. THIS REPORT COMES STRAIGHT FROM ORACLE.

IF YOUR PROJECT BUDGETS, ALONG WITH ALL THE COST COLUMNS THAT YOU SEE THERE.

AND AGAIN, FOR CLARITY, THIS IS THE PRESENTATION GIVES YOU A HIGH LEVEL OF THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE.

BUT IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ATTACHED TO EVERY PRESENTATION ARE DETAILED INDIVIDUAL PROJECT SUMMARIES FOR EVERY SPECIFIC PROJECT THAT WE ARE WORKING ON.

SO IF YOU WANT TO KNOW SPECIFICS AND MORE DETAILS, WE PROVIDE A MONTHLY UPDATE ON A PER PROJECT BASIS TO GIVE YOU BETTER CLARITY ON THE WORK THAT IS TAKING PLACE. AND WITH THAT, WE'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU, MR. FERNANDEZ. TRUSTEES, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS, MR. MILLER. THANK YOU, JAVIER AND YOU MENTIONED WE WERE ABLE TO BUY

[00:20:06]

WERE THOSE JUST THE MAC PROJECTS WHERE WE BOUGHT THE STEEL IN ADVANCE? YES, SIR JUST THAT PROJECT. AND STEEL PRICES OBVIOUSLY HAVE GONE UP SINCE THEN.

SO THAT WAS PROBABLY NOT A BAD EARLY PURCHASE, WAS IT? NO, SIR. THAT WAS A THAT WAS A GOOD CALL ON BEHALF OF THE DISTRICT.

OKAY. AND DO YOU ANTICIPATE NEEDING TO DO THAT GOING FORWARD AS OTHER PROJECTS COME ONLINE? YOU KNOW, AT THIS POINT, I'LL TELL YOU THAT WHERE WE ARE AT ON THE ACTUAL BUYING OR PURCHASE OF MATERIALS AND LABOR, THE TWO THAT WELL, FREEMAN WAS AWARDED LAST MONTH, SO THAT'S BEING BOUGHT OUT.

THAT'S DONE. SO WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT PIECE.

KIMBERLIN IS COMING TONIGHT. WE'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION FOR A FINAL COST FOR THAT ONE.

FROM THERE, WE'VE GOT MAJOR PROJECTS THAT WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU HERE WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO.

THERE ARE NOT A LOT OF MAJOR PROJECTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE BRINGING TO YOU HERE WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO.

WHAT I MEAN BY GROUND UPS. SURE. THE REST ARE STILL IN THE PLANNING STAGES.

SO I THINK BY THE TIME THAT WE GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE'RE BRINGING ANOTHER GMP FOR YOU, I THINK THAT WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF THIS CLOUDINESS THAT IS IN THE AIR AT THIS MOMENT. I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF THAT DUST SETTLE.

SO WE'LL HAVE SOME REALLY GOOD A REALLY GOOD VIEW.

SO I THINK WHERE WE'RE SITTING AS A PROGRAM IS REALLY WELL, WE WERE ABLE TO THESE THREE MAJOR PROJECTS OF THE PHASE ONE, THE MAC PROJECT, THE FIELD HOUSE AND THE MAC PROJECTS, THE TWO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, THESE, VERY LARGE PROJECTS. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THESE DONE AND BRING TO YOU BEFORE THESE HUGE HITS OF TARIFFS AND THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

SO I THINK WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ESCAPE, IF YOU WILL, ON THAT PART.

AND I FEEL PRETTY CONFIDENT WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING ON NOW WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING MAJOR THAT WE'RE GOING TO BRING BACK TO YOU AT THIS POINT.

SO WE THINK WE'RE OKAY. OKAY. AND JUST REAL QUICK, REFRESH MY MEMORY.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK AND THE GMP CONTRACT.

OKAY. SO THANK YOU, SIR. IT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

SO THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK IS A COMPANY THAT THE DISTRICT HIRES THAT BEFORE DURING DESIGN.

SO WE HIRE THIS FIRM WE HIRE THE ARCHITECT FIRST, AND THEN AFTER WE HIRE THE ARCHITECTURAL FIRM, WE HIRE A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER , WHICH IS A GENERAL CONTRACTOR WHO SERVES AS A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK .

THEY ASSIST US IN THE PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES.

THEY PROVIDE ASSISTANCE DURING THE DESIGN PROCESS.

THEY GIVE US FEEDBACK ON THE DESIGN THAT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER.

IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS WITH MATERIALS, ANY QUESTIONS WITH TYPES OF ISSUES FROM A FOUNDATION, WE GET A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT, OKAY, ARE WE SURE THE TYPE OF FOUNDATION WE'RE GOING TO USE.

ARE WE SURE ABOUT THE ROOFING SYSTEMS WE'RE GOING TO USE.

ALL OF THE DETAILS. A LOT OF THAT IS TAKEN CARE OF IN THE DESIGN STAGE WHERE AS OPPOSED TO IF YOU WERE TO HAVE 100% DOCUMENTS, ISSUE THEM TO BID, YOU HAVE A LOT OF CONTRACTORS WHO WILL SUBMIT FOR THAT.

BUT THAT'S THEIR FIRST TIME SEEING THOSE DOCUMENTS. SO THEY'VE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY REVIEW THAT.

SO THAT'S ONE BENEFIT OF HAVING A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK .

NOW THAT'S THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK .

THE GMP IS WHAT IS KNOWN AS A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE.

WHY USE THE TERM GMP? WHAT THAT IS, IS A OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO WORK WITH THE THE CMAR TO, DEPENDING ON WHAT WE SEE, WE CAN DO EARLY RELEASES, FOR EXAMPLE, THE STEEL, THAT'S AN EARLY RELEASE.

WE CAN DO AN EARLY RELEASE FOR MATERIALS, WE CAN DO EARLY RELEASE FOR GRADINGS.

THAT ALLOWS US WITHIN THE STATE, WHICH IS A PROCUREMENT DELIVERY PROCESS, ALLOWS US TO ISSUE MULTIPLE GMPS, WHICH GETS THE CONTRACTOR STARTED AND GETTING THE WORK DONE SO THAT WE'RE NOT STARTING FROM DAY ONE AFTER THE PROJECT HAS BEEN AWARDED, AND THEN YOU START FROM THERE. SO IT GIVES YOU SOME SOME ADVANTAGES TO, G ETTING THE PROJECT DONE.

SO, WITHIN THE LIST THAT YOU'VE PROVIDED US OF ALL THE SUMMARIES OF NUMBERS WOULD IT BE REASONABLE TO I MEAN, ARE THEY ALL GOING TO BE GMPS OR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK , AND IS THERE ANY BENEFIT TO THE BOARD TO KNOWING WHAT TYPE OF CONTRACT WE'RE WORKING UNDER, SOME KIND OF DESIGNATION OR COLUMN WITHIN THERE TO TELL US WHICH ONE IT IS? OH, WE CA N DEFINITELY DO THAT BECAUSE WE DO HAVE WITHIN THE BOND PROGRAM.

[00:25:01]

OKAY. THAT'S JUST FOR ME NOT WORKING WITH THIS EVERY DAY.

IT JUST HELPS ME TO KNOW WE CAN ABSOLUTELY DO THAT.

AND DO YOU DO YOU ANTICIPATE THE MAJORITY OF OUR MAJOR CONTRACTS BEING THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK ? YES, SIR. GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE. YES, SIR.

IT'S A.

YES, SIR. ALL OUT. SO, MACS. ALL PROJECTS. ALL PROJECTS? ALL PROJECTS? YEAH. SO JUST THE DESIGNATION ON THERE THEN AS TO.

SO EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVEN'T STARTED YET, MAYBE ALL THE MAJOR PROJECTS ARE CMAR'S AND WE'VE DONE THAT ALREADY.

SO ALL OUR, WE'VE ASSIGNED THE ARCHITECT AND THE, THE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FOR ALL MAJOR PROJECTS.

SO THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DONE. SO EVERYTHING ELSE THAT YOU SHOULD SEE SHOULD GO UNDER COMPETITIVE PROPOSAL BIDS THAT, THEY'RE NOT AS GRAND IN SCOPE. SO WE ALREADY HAVE THE TEAMS WORKING ON ALL THE LET'S JUST SAY THE BIG INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS.

OKAY. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. MR. BEACH. YES.

THANK YOU FOR THIS PRESENTATION JAVIER. I'M CURIOUS IN LOOKING AT THE CHARTS ON PAGE 22 AND 23, AS FAR AS PLAYGROUNDS AND FENCING IS THE CONSTRUCTION FOR THOSE PROJECTS IN ROWLETT AND SACHSE GOING TO TAKE PLACE IN SHOWING YOUR TIMELINE? WILL THEY BE GOING ON SIMULTANEOUSLY? YES, ACTUALLY, IT'S VERY BENEFICIAL FOR THEM TO BE WORKING EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE DIFFERENT CONTRACTORS.

IT IS GOING TO BE BENEFICIAL FOR US TO WORK SIMULTANEOUSLY.

AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY. THE PLAYGROUNDS WE HAVE DIFFERENT STYLES OF PLAYGROUNDS ON OUR PROPERTIES.

SOME OF OUR EARLY CHILDHOOD PLAYGROUNDS ARE ALREADY FENCED IN AND HAVE A PERIMETER ON THEM.

WE WILL BE WORKING T HOSE TWO CONTRACTORS ARE GOING TO BE WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH ONE ANOTHER, MAKING SURE THAT WE SYNC UP THE STAGING OF THAT OF THE THE WORK THAT IS TAKING PLACE SO THAT ONE DOESN'T STEP OVER THE OTHER.

THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO IS TO PUT IN A PERIMETER FENCE FOR OUR PROJECT, FOR OUR CAMPUS, AND HAVE THAT COMPLETELY DONE, AND THEN WE COME RIGHT BACK AND HAVE TO TAKE IT OUT, BECAUSE WE'RE NOW WE'RE PUTTING IN A BRAND NEW PLAYGROUND.

SO THERE IS COORDINATION HAPPENING BETWEEN THOSE TWO.

OKAY, THE OTHER THING IS, I KNOW THAT SOME OF OUR CAMPUSES WE HAVE AND I HAVEN'T SEEN THE TOTAL PICTURE YET ABOUT FENCING IN.

WE'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO FENCE IN THE WHOLE PIECE OF PROPERTY, WHICH BASICALLY WE'RE GOING TO JUST BE FENCING IN THE AREAS OF THE PLAYGROUND.

IS THAT CORRECT? SO MAY I INTERJECT ON THAT? YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT WITH THAT.

MR. BEACH. SO, LIKE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT FENCING IN THE WHOLE PROPERTY, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, LIKE, THE FRONT ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK, WHAT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER IS A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS HAPPENED.

THE BOARD HAD A GREAT VISION IN THE 2014 BOND TO BUILD VESTIBULES.

THAT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST MIRACULOUS THINGS THAT WE GOT OUT OF 2014, OUT OF THE GRCTC RIGHT AND THE NATATORIUM.

AND SO EVERYBODY GOT THESE SECURE VESTIBULES.

BUT DO YOU KNOW WHO GOES TO SECURE VESTIBULES? LAW ABIDING CITIZENS. DO YOU KNOW WHO DOESN'T? NON-LAW ABIDING CITIZENS BECAUSE WE HAVE NO WAY TO CHANNEL EVERYBODY TO GO TO THE VESTIBULES.

SO THINK OF THE FENCING AS THE YOU HAVE YOUR MAIN DOORS, AND THEN YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE ENCLOSURES AROUND THE SCHOOL TO FORCE PEOPLE TO GO TO THE FRONT ENTRANCE. OKAY. SO IT'S NOT NECESSARILY GOING TO BE IN THE FRONT OF THE SCHOOL.

AND WE HAVE ALL THESE FENCING THAT CLOSE THINGS OFF.

IT'LL LOOK DIFFERENT FOR EVERY AREA BECAUSE EVERY FOOTPRINT IS UNIQUE, BUT THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN ENCOMPASS THAT MUCH YARDAGE TO GO ALL THE WAY AROUND THE BUILDING TO NOT LET YOU IN CERTAIN AREAS. IT'S DESIGNED TO PROTECT THE KIDS IN THE BACK SO THAT NOBODY CAN HAVE ACCESS TO THEM.

IT'S DESIGNED TO NOT LET PEOPLE GO THROUGH THE BACK, AND IT'S DESIGNED TO MAKE PEOPLE GO THROUGH THE FRONT VESTIBULE.

WHAT HAPPENED WAS WE'RE NOW GETTING AUDITS FROM TEA, AND THEY'RE CALLED INTRUSION AUDITS.

AND THEY GO TO OUR BUILDING. AND BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE SECURE FENCING ALL AROUND OUR BUILDING, THEY TEST THE WHOLE PERIMETER. AND I WANT YOU TO THINK OF SOMETHING LIKE GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL AND THE AMOUNT OF IN BETWEEN A BUSY THOROUGHFARE ON EACH SIDE AND THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT COULD HAVE ACCESS TO THAT BUILDING FROM ALL ENDS 24 OVER SEVEN.

WHAT THIS DOES IS IT FORCES THEM TO GO TO A CERTAIN AREA.

THE SECOND THING IS THE STANDARDS HAVE BEEN SET BY THE STATE.

WHEN YOU BUILD THIS ENCLOSED FENCING, IT HAS TO FOLLOW CERTAIN STANDARDS.

IF IT'S A CHAIN LINK FENCE, IT HAS TO BE A CERTAIN HEIGHT AND THEN IT HAS TO HAVE CERTAIN THINGS.

SO IT MAKES IT HARDER TO CLIMB. NOW THE ARGUMENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOMEBODY THAT WANTS TO GET IN IS GOING TO GET IN.

BUT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, WHEN YOU HAVE NO FENCING, IT'S HARD TO SEE WHO'S YOUR INTRUDER.

[00:30:01]

SO I JUST WANT YOU TO THINK YOU HAVE YOUR FRONT ENTRANCE.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO ZONE IT OFF LIKE WHERE YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH GATE AFTER GATE.

THIS IS AN ENCLOSURE TO MAKE EVERYBODY FUNNEL TO THE VESTIBULES WHAT THEY WERE DESIGNED FOR.

I GUESS MY QUESTION WAS THEN ON THE PLAYGROUND ITSELF, THOUGH, ARE GOING TO BE ENCOMPASSED BY THE FENCING FOR THE SCHOOL BECAUSE I KNOW IN ROWLETT, WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT PARSONS AND HERFURTH ESPECIALLY, THOSE ARE HUGE PIECES OF PROPERTY AND WE CAN'T DO THE FENCING ALL THE WAY AROUND THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY. I WOULDN'T THINK WE'RE BASICALLY JUST GOING TO BE DOING THE PLAYGROUNDS.

SO NOT JUST THE PLAYGROUNDS. WE'RE NOT JUST THE PLAYGROUNDS, SIR.

OUR FENCING PROGRAM IS WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO ENSURE THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAFE THROUGHOUT THE DAY, WHEREVER THEY ARE, WHEREVER THEY CONGREGATE, AS PART OF THE CURRICULUM OF THE OF THE CAMPUS WHEN THEY'RE PROVIDING A CURRICULUM, MEANING NOT JUST A PLAYGROUND, BUT THERE ARE SIDE AREAS THAT DR.

LOPEZ WAS REFERENCING. WHERE THERE IS AN AREA WHERE OUR STUDENTS CONGREGATE, WE WILL ENCLOSE THOSE AREAS SO THAT OUR STUDENTS CAN FEEL SAFE WHILE THEY ARE ACTUALLY OUT THERE IN OUTSIDE, WHILE THEY'RE PERFORMING INSTRUCTION.

JUST BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS ARE OUTSIDE, THEY ARE STILL RECEIVING INSTRUCTION. AND SO WHILE WE'RE PERFORMING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THEM, JUST LIKE THEY FEEL SECURE WHEN THEY'RE IN THE BUILDING, THEY WILL FEEL SECURE WHEN THEY'RE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE A PERIMETER FENCE THAT PROTECTS THEM WHILE THEY'RE OUT THERE, PLAYGROUNDS ARE THE MAJORITY OF IT.

BUT THERE ARE SOME OTHER AREAS THAT WE ARE ALSO THAT WE'RE ALSO ENCOMPASSING.

WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS IN ALL OF THE ALL OF THE FENCING HAS ALREADY BEEN PLATTED FOR THE SCHOOLS.

YES, SIR. YES, SIR. YES, SIR. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? JUST JUST AS A FOLLOW UP TO THAT. FROM AN ESTHETIC STANDPOINT, LIKE DR.

LOPEZ TALKED ABOUT, THE WHOLE CAMPUS IS NOT GOING TO BE ENVELOPED IN A FENCE.

IT'S JUST GOING TO BE THE PERIMETER BUT LEAVING THE FRONT PART EXPOSED.

THE RESTRICTIONS THAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS. IS IT LIKE A 6 OR 8 FOOT WROUGHT IRON FENCE ON THE FRONT SIDE AND THEN CHAIN LINK ON THE BACK SIDE OR.

YES. THAT'S CORRECT. SO WHAT WE PLAN ON DOING IS OUR CYCLONE FENCING, CHAIN LINK FENCING THAT EVERYONE KNOWS THAT CHAIN LINK FENCING, WE'RE PUTTING THAT ON THE BACKSIDE ANYWHERE THAT IT IS NOT.

I WILL SAY THIS, WE'RE PERFORMING FENCING THAT IS GOING TO BE ESTHETICALLY PLEASING FOR THE CAMPUS.

SO WE WILL HAVE A MIXTURE OF BOTH THE CYCLONE FENCING, WHICH WILL PREDOMINANTLY BE IN THE BACK IF WE HAVE IF WE'RE NEXT TO A CREEK OR IF WE'RE NEXT TO SOME WOODED FENCES, THAT WILL BE CHAIN LINK FENCE ANYWHERE THAT IS CLOSER TO THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING.

ANYTHING THAT'S CLOSE TO A STREET. IF THE BUILDING HAS A SIDE OF THE BUILDING THAT IS ADJACENT TO A STREET THAT FENCING, THERE WILL BE WHAT WE CALL DECORATIVE FENCING, WROUGHT IRON FENCING.

WE SAY WROUGHT IRON FENCING, AND I SAY DECORATIVE FENCING BECAUSE WROUGHT IRON IS ACTUALLY A TYPE OF FENCE.

DECORATIVE FENCING LOOKS LIKE WROUGHT IRON, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY NOT THAT.

AND SO THAT'S THE TYPE OF FENCING IT WILL LOOK LIKE WROUGHT IRON, BUT IT'S THIS STRAIGHT PICKETS THAT YOU'RE NORMALLY USED TO SEEING THOSE SOLID PICKETS.

AND SO WE WILL HAVE VERY ESTHETICALLY PLEASING FENCING ON THOSE AREAS THAT, THAT WHERE WE ARE CLOSE TO PROXIMITY OF THE STREET, WHERE OUR PARENTS CONGREGATE, WHERE ANYTIME OUR PARENTS ARE CLOSE TO THAT AREA.

SO YOU'LL SEE THAT. SO THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT WASN'T JUST TO FENCE IT, IT'S TO MAKE IT LOOK VERY ESTHETICALLY PLEASING TO TAKE CARE OF OUR STUDENTS, TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAFE, BECAUSE THAT'S VERY CRITICAL.

NOT ONLY ARE THEY SAFE IN THE BUILDING, BUT WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO FEEL SAFE WHERE THEY'RE OUTSIDE THE BUILDING AND OUR TEACHERS TO FEEL THAT THEY CAN TEACH AND PROVIDE INSTRUCTION FOR OUR STUDENTS WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT THE LOOSE DOG IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

THOSE THINGS HAPPEN A LOT WHEN WE'RE OUT, AND WE HAVE STUDENTS OUTSIDE AND WE'RE PERFORMING INSTRUCTION AND WE HAVE THESE DOGS THAT COME OUT.

WELL, NOW THEY CAN FEEL SECURE. SO SO I THINK EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE AT THE END OF THE DAY.

I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS. I KNOW OUR COMMUNITY HAS A LOT OF QUESTIONS REGARDING THE FENCING, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I REALLY FEEL THAT THE COMMUNITY IS REALLY GOING TO LIKE THE END RESULT OF THIS PRODUCT. MS. STANLEY.

JUST FOR CLARITY, FOR ME, BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WE'RE CONFUSING THINGS.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE THING FOR PLAYGROUND FENCING AND YOU GUYS ARE TALKING PERIMETER FENCING, AND THOSE ARE NOT THE SAME THINGS. SO ARE WE GOING TO HAVE PERIMETER FENCING AROUND OUR SCHOOLS? YES. IS IT THE SAME FENCING THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ON OUR PLAYGROUNDS?

[00:35:04]

SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PERIMETER, IT'S THE ENTIRE ENCOMPASSING EVERY.

YEAH. BUT IT IS GOING TO BE THE FRONTS OF THE SCHOOLS.

I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE'RE GOING TO FUNNEL THEM INTO THE VESTIBULES BECAUSE I'M LISTENING AND I'M VISUAL WHEN I'M LISTENING.

MR. SELDERS. AND YOU'RE ASKING THE QUESTION, WELL, WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE IT IN THE FRONT.

YEAH. YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE PERIMETER FENCING. YES. IT'S GOING TO BE WROUGHT IRON.

IT'S NOT GOING TO BE IN THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING. LIKE SAY FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU LOOK AT GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE PERIMETER FENCING RUNNING ACROSS THE HORSESHOE, RIGHT? NO, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE AROUND THE PERIMETER OF OUR LAND.

YEAH. WHAT DR. LOPEZ WAS SAYING IS THAT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH MULTIPLE SERIES OF FENCES TO GET TO THE FRONT END.

YES, BUT YOU'RE STILL. I MEAN, WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING PAST GARLAND, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THE PERIMETER FENCING.

YES. CORRECT. I MEAN, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IT IN THE FRONT OF THE SCHOOL.

KEEP PEOPLE FROM COMING IN THE SIDES. BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE THE PERIMETER. I MEAN, I.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I THINK WE'RE SAYING THE SAME THING. YEAH. OKAY. JUST AS LONG. BECAUSE, I MEAN, I'M GETTING CONFUSED.

PLAYGROUND PERIMETER. OKAY. THANK YOU. I THINK WE'RE GOOD.

OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. WE'LL NEXT MOVE TO INFORMATION. INFORMATION ITEM B

[IV.B. Receive Presentation on Bond 2023 Network Operations Center (NOC) Schematic Design – Javier Fernandez]

MR. FERNANDEZ. THANK YOU. BOARD PRESIDENT SELDERS.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD , DR. LOPEZ. WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT TO YOU THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR OUR NEW NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER.

VERY EXCITED TO HAVE OUR DESIGN ARCHITECT, PBK HERE TO GIVE YOU A PRESENTATION, ALONG WITH A SMALL ANIMATION OF WHAT THIS BUILDING IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. SO WITH THAT, I WANT TO INTRODUCE TO YOU BRIAN SHERMAN, WHO IS WITH PBK ARCHITECTS, WHO WILL PROVIDE YOU A PRESENTATION TONIGHT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU JAVIER. GOOD EVENING. BOARD PRESIDENT MR. SELDERS, BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEMBERS. DR. LOPEZ, THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TONIGHT.

TONIGHT I WILL GO OVER A PROJECT OVERVIEW, DESIGN REVIEW, SCHEDULE AND COST.

BEFORE WE DO THAT, I DO WANT TO THANK DR. LOPEZ, MR. DODDS, MR. YEAGER AND HIS DEPARTMENT DIRECTORS, MR. GONZALES AND MR. FERNANDEZ'S TEAMS FOR HELPING US DEVELOP THE PROJECT TO THIS POINT.

SO PROJECT OVERVIEW. THIS BUILDING IS JUST SOUTHEAST OF THE NATATORIUM.

IT'S A TWO STORY BUILDING THAT'S APPROXIMATELY 35,000FT².

IT INCLUDES A NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER, WAREHOUSES, OFFICES, COMPUTER LABS, AND SUPPORT SPACES.

SO HERE ON OUR SITE PLAN, WE SEE THAT IT'S AT THE SOUTH.

AGAIN THAT SOUTHEAST CORNER OF THE SITE CLOSE TO THE NATATORIUM.

IT'S LOCATED ON THE CORNER OF NAAMAN SCHOOL ROAD AND PLEASANT VALLEY ROAD.

SO HOW YOU ACCESS THE SITE YOU CAN ACCESS IT FROM IF YOU'RE A SEMI-TRUCK OR DELIVERY TRUCK FROM SOUTHBOUND ON PLEASANT VALLEY.

AND IF YOU'RE A VISITOR YOU WOULD VISIT IT FROM GOING WESTBOUND ON NAAMAN SCHOOL ROAD.

YOU ALSO HAVE ACCESS. WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A NEW DRIVE BETWEEN THE NATATORIUM PARKING LOT AND THIS NEW PROJECT ALSO.

SO AT THE BOTTOM SOUTHEAST CORNER, YOU'LL SEE DETENTION POND THAT'S REQUIRED FOR THIS SITE.

WE HAVE 170 PARKING SPACES FOR STAFF AND VISITORS.

THAT'S OUTSIDE THE SECURED FENCING. WE AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN YOU'LL SEE A DRIVE FOR DELIVERY TRUCKS SEMI TRUCKS THAT HAS THAT GETS INTO THE LOADING DOCK AREA ON THE FAR LEFT, WHICH IS AGAIN FENCED IN.

WE HAVE A TECHNOLOGY VAN PARKING THERE THAT'S FENCED IN AND SECURED WITH FENCES AND GATES, AND THEN A SERVICE YARD THAT SERVES THE BUILDING.

OKAY, HERE'S THE OVERALL FIRST FLOOR PLAN. WE SEE THE MAIN ENTRY IS TOWARDS THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN WHERE IT SAYS SECURED VESTIBULE, AS VISITORS WILL COME IN A SECURED VESTIBULE AND GET CHECKED IN FOR THE PROPER, PROTOCOLS.

AND THEN THERE'S ALSO SEVERAL STAFF ENTRY AND EXIT POINTS THAT WILL BE UTILIZED DEPENDING ON WHERE STAFF PARKS OR IF STAFF IS GOING TO THE LOADING DOCK AREA. SO WE'LL WE'LL ZOOM IN ON THE WAREHOUSE AREA.

THE WAREHOUSE AREA IS GOING TO HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT SHELVING STORAGE UNITS.

THIS SPACE IS DESIGNED AROUND THE SHELVING RACKS THEMSELVES TO MAXIMIZE CLEARANCES AND SPACES FOR STORAGE.

[00:40:05]

AS WE GET INTO THE PARTS ROOM AND THE SALVAGE ROOM THOSE AGAIN, WILL HAVE EQUIPMENT STORAGE WORKSPACE THAT WILL BE HEATED AND COOLED VERSUS THE WAREHOUSE JUST BEING HEATED AND VENTILATED.

THAT WILL HAVE OVERHEAD DOORS AND ACCESS TO THE VAN PARKING AREA.

AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE BUILDING, WE HAVE WE'LL MOVE THROUGH SEVERAL DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.

FIRST, WE'LL GO THROUGH PLANNING IMPLEMENTATION AND IMAGING TEST AREA.

THAT WILL BE MORE OF A NORMAL OFFICE SPACE HEATED AND COOLED OF COURSE.

WE'LL GET INTO IT OPERATIONS THERE IN THE PURPLE THAT WILL BE NORMAL OFFICE SPACE.

THEN WE GET TO THE CORRIDOR WHERE WE HAVE SOME SERVICE SPACES, LIKE ELECTRICAL ROOM AT THE TOP.

CUSTODIAL SPACE, FIRE RISER ROOM AND STAIRS THAT GO TO THE SECOND FLOOR.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, THE GROUP TOILET ROOM THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SCREEN.

AND THEN AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE BUILDING, WE HAVE A FEW MORE DEPARTMENT OFFICE SPACES, LIKE PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION SUPPORT.

WE ALSO HAVE CONFERENCE SPACE FOR THEM THAT CAN BE SHARED BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS.

WE'LL LET'S SEE. AND THEN AS YOU GO TO THE FAR RIGHT, ACROSS THE HALL AND DOWN THE HALL, YOU'LL HAVE THE COMPUTER LABS FOR TRAINING. THEN YOU HAVE A BREAK ROOM FOR THE WHOLE FIRST FLOOR.

AND WHAT'S NICE ABOUT THIS SPACE, TOO, IS IF ANY VISITORS COME THAT NEED TO USE THAT COMPUTER LAB FOR TRAINING IT CAN BE SECURED OFF.

SO NO ONE'S GOT ACCESS TO THE REST OF THE BUILDING.

YOU SEE THE ELEVATORS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SPACE? THERE'S ANOTHER STAIRCASE THAT GOES UP TO THE SECOND FLOOR.

NOW WE GET INTO THE NETWORK AND COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT THAT'S IN THAT CYAN COLOR.

THEY HAVE THEIR OFFICES THERE IN CONFERENCE SPACE, AND THAT SPACE THAT HAS THE DASHED RED LINE AROUND IT IS THE NOC, THE NETWORK OPERATIONS CENTER. IN THERE WE HAVE A WORK ROOM, WHICH IS THAT BOTTOM RIGHT ROOM WHERE THE TABLES ARE.

AND THEN AS YOU GO UP THE SCREEN, THERE'S THE CENTRAL SERVER ROOM WHERE ALL THE SERVERS ARE.

AND THEN TO THE LEFT WE HAVE ALL THE SUPPORT SPACES NEEDED.

FIRE. THIS HAS ITS OWN FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM THAT'S NOT PART OF THE BUILDING.

SO WE'VE GOT TO HAVE A ROOM FOR THAT. WE HAVE A STAFF RESTROOM BECAUSE AS YOU SEE WHERE THE RED LINES DASHED, THIS IS A HARDENED BUILDING. THIS IS ACTUALLY DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND TORNADIC WINDS.

AND WE HAVE SOME OF THE RESTROOM TOO. OF COURSE, WE HAVE THE SERVER SERVICE PROVIDER ROOM FOR UTILITIES COMING IN THAT WILL ALSO BE THE POTENTIALLY BE THE MDF ROOM FOR THE ENTIRE BUILDING TOO.

WE HAVE EQUIPMENT STORAGE, ELECTRICAL ROOM, UPS BATTERY ROOM.

THAT IS THE BACKUP. THAT'S THE IMMEDIATE BACKUP SYSTEM UNTIL THE GENERATORS TURN ON.

AND THEN OF COURSE, WE HAVE A MECHANICAL ROOM. THE SERVICE YARD WILL ALSO SERVE THIS SPACE TOO.

AND THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A GENERATOR, A TRANSFORMER THERE.

AND POTENTIALLY MECHANICAL UNITS THERE POTENTIALLY.

WE'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT PROCESS. ON THE SECOND FLOOR, WE HAVE A COUPLE PROGRAMS UP THERE.

IN PURPLE, WE HAVE THE GIS PROGRAM. THEN WE HAVE A CONFERENCE SPACE THAT'S SHARED BETWEEN DEPARTMENTS, RESTROOMS, BREAK ROOM ON THE FAR LEFT IN THAT ORANGE COLOR.

AND THEN BELOW WE HAVE DATA ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEMS AND DIVISION LEAD OFFICE THERE WITH CONFERENCE SPACE TWO ON THE SECOND FLOOR.

OKAY. SO I WANT TO GO THROUGH THE RENDERINGS HERE. WE'VE GOT BOTH EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR RENDERINGS, AND WE'LL ALSO SEE THIS IN THE FLY THROUGH. SO HERE'S JUST AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE FRONT ENTRY.

AS YOU CAN SEE WE'RE USING TWO DIFFERENT KINDS OF BRICK THE RED BRICK AND THE WHITE BRICK. WE ALSO HAVE METAL PANELS IN THE BUILDING.

THE METAL PANELS ARE DEPENDING ON WHICH PART OF THE BUILDING YOU'RE LOOKING AT, OR JUST UNDER THE WINDOW, JUST OVER THE WINDOW IN THAT GRAY OR BETWEEN WINDOWS, AS YOU SEE BETWEEN THE FIRST AND SECOND FLOOR.

WE HAVE SEVERAL GISD LOGOS BECAUSE WE HAVE A MAIN ENTRY THAT DOESN'T FACE PLEASANT VALLEY.

SO WE ALSO HAVE A SECONDARY LOGO THERE THAT, WOULD THAT HAS HIGHER CAR TRAFFIC TO HELP SHOW EVERYONE YOU KNOW WHAT, BUILDING THIS, WHOSE BUILDING THIS IS AND TO HIGHLIGHT THE BRANDING.

AND THEN WE HAVE ALSO METAL PANELING, SOFFIT SYSTEM IN THAT WOOD GRAIN COLOR YOU SEE, BY THE MAIN ENTRY.

AND THEN THAT WE HAVE A SCREEN MATERIAL WHERE ALL THOSE WINDOWS ARE, WHERE THE GISD LOGOS ARE TOO TO HELP CUT DOWN ON TOO MUCH SUNLIGHT AND GLARE IN THAT SPACE. NOW THIS IS KIND OF OPPOSITE CORNER. THIS IS LOOKING AT THE WAREHOUSE CORNER, BUT YOU CAN STILL SEE THAT MAIN ENTRY.

SO YOU GET TO SEE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF THE WAREHOUSE.

[00:45:02]

HERE'S A RENDERING OF THAT CONTROL ROOM THAT'S NEXT TO THE NOC THE CENTRAL SERVER ROOM.

THIS IS WHERE, YOU KNOW, DIAGNOSTICS AND WORKING ON THE SERVERS WILL HAPPEN.

AND THEN AS WE GET INTO THE CENTRAL SERVER ROOM ITSELF, ALL THOSE RECTANGULAR SQUARES ARE DIFFERENT RACKS THAT HAVE SERVERS IN THEM AND OTHER EQUIPMENT THEY ACTUALLY ARE HAD THEIR HVAC IS ACTUALLY TIED BACK.

THE RETURN IS TIED BACK TO THE HVAC SYSTEM. SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE DUCTWORK GOING BETWEEN THOSE RACKS AND THE CEILING.

THAT LADDER STRUCTURE IS THE CABLING STRUCTURE FOR THE NETWORK CABLING.

AND THEN THERE WILL BE AN ELECTRICAL BUS SYSTEM IN THERE THAT WILL PROVIDE FLEXIBLE POWER IN DIFFERENT TYPES OF POWER AMPERAGE OR I'M SORRY, VOLTAGE. I'M SORRY TO THOSE RACKS AS NEEDED.

SO THERE'S ROOM FOR ADAPTATION AND MODIFICATION AS NEEDED.

AND AGAIN THIS SPACE WILL HAVE ITS OWN FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM BECAUSE OF THE SENSITIVE EQUIPMENT.

THERE WON'T BE WATER PIPES IN HERE OR WATER FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS. IT'LL BE SEPARATE SYSTEMS THAT PROTECT THE EQUIPMENT PROGRAM.

I JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT THIS REAL QUICK BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS HARD TO READ, BUT THIS COVERS ALL SIX DEPARTMENTS IN THIS TECHNOLOGY DIVISION THAT WE WENT OVER EARLIER WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THE FLOOR PLAN WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY 5300FT² FOR THAT NOC SPACE THAT WAS SHADED IN THAT DASHED RED COLOR. WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY WHEN YOU COUNT PARTS IN PARTS ROOM AND WAREHOUSE AND WHAT WAS IT? SALVAGE ROOM? WE GOT ABOUT 9200FT² OF WAREHOUSING SPACE.

SO OVERALL, OUR SQUARE FOOTAGE AT THE MOMENT IS 34,800FT².

PROJECT SCHEDULE. SO WE STARTED LAST QUARTER OF LAST YEAR.

WE WORKED THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS TO WHERE WE ARE TODAY WITH PRESENTING SCHEMATIC DESIGN.

WE ARE TARGETING TO RELEASE THE BID DOCUMENTS IN VERY, VERY EARLY JUNE.

SO THAT WOULD GIVE US AS YOU CAN SEE IN PURPLE, A BID DAY OF POTENTIALLY FOR THE AUGUST BOARD MEETING.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SHOOTING FOR. BUT ONE OF THE THINGS BASED ON OUR BECAUSE THIS IS A CITY OF GARLAND PROJECT, BASED ON OUR STANDARD DURATIONS FOR PERMITTING PROCESS, WE ARE ACTUALLY SUBMITTING PERMIT NEXT MONTH.

SO WE ARE VERY ON SCHEDULE WITH THAT, IN MY OPINION.

I THINK THAT WILL HELP CREATE A SUCCESSFUL PROJECT. AND OUR GOAL IS TO START IN SEPTEMBER FOR CONSTRUCTION.

YEAH. OH, SORRY. PROJECT BUDGET. THE BUDGET IS BASICALLY 21.7.

RIGHT NOW. WE ARE PBK'S OPINION OF PROBABLE COST IS 21 MILLION POINT FIVE AND SOME CHANGE.

SO WE'RE JUST ABOUT $263,000 UNDER BUDGET. THAT IS.

SORRY. I SHOULD HAVE HAD THIS READY. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT $618 A SQUARE FOOT IS WHAT WE'RE ESTIMATING FOR WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.

OF COURSE, THAT'S JUST TOTAL CONSTRUCTION COST.

THAT DOESN'T INCLUDE THINGS. NOW WE WILL HAVE, OF COURSE, SOME FF&E AND TECHNOLOGY IN OUR PROJECT, BUT THERE'S SOME ADDITIONAL TECHNOLOGY IN FF&E THAT MIGHT NOT BE IN THERE.

THAT'S TO BE DETERMINED. SO SO THERE'S POTENTIALLY SOME SOFT COSTS THAT ARE NOT IN OUR CONSTRUCTION COST.

OKAY. AND THEN HOW DO I DO THE ANIMATION. SORRY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.

[00:50:22]

MISS GRIFFIN. YES. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS FOR YOU OR JAVIER OR DR.

LOPEZ. WHAT'S THE TOTAL NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES THAT WILL BE HOUSED IN THIS FACILITY.

IT'S APPROXIMATELY 80 SOMETHING. I'M SORRY. IT'S OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT IN THE 80S.

YEAH. AND VISUALIZING THE FUTURE IS GROWTH BECAUSE TECHNOLOGY IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. AND EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDING IS THEIR GROWTH POTENTIAL UP TO HOW MANY EMPLOYEES IN THIS BUILDING? I WOULD SAY AT THE MOMENT WE ARE VERY EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE WITH OUR USE OF SQUARE FOOTAGE. SO WE'VE GOT A COMBINATION OF OPEN OFFICE WORKPLACES WITH CUBICLES AND OFFICE SPACES, SO THERE MIGHT BE A MINOR AMOUNT OF EXPANSION WITHIN THE FOOTPRINT ITSELF.

BUT MOSTLY YOU NEED TO LOOK AT,. IN ADDITION, IF WE'RE TALKING A COUPLE MORE THAN A FEW PEOPLE.

OKAY. AND WHAT'S MISSING? WHAT'S MISSING FROM MAKING THIS THE STATE OF THE ART NOC AND WAREHOUSE FACILITIES? NOT SAYING THAT WE CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN.

SURE. BUT I'M JUST SAYING WHAT'S MISSING. I MEAN, I WOULD SAY FUNCTIONALLY, WE'VE GOT ALL THE PROGRAMS IN THEIR DEPARTMENTS IN THERE, RIGHT? I MEAN, WE'VE GOT THE WAREHOUSE, WE'VE GOT THE OFFICES, WE'VE GOT THE SERVER ROOM.

I'M POSITIVE, I DON'T KNOW. I'M SURE THERE'S I'M SURE THERE'S SOMETHING, BUT NOTHING COMES TO MIND AT THE MOMENT FOR ME AT LEAST. I SHOULDN'T HAVE PUT YOU ON THE SPOT. THAT'S ALL RIGHT. BUT I TRIED NOT TO ASK IT.

IT'S A TOUGH QUESTION. IT KEPT COMING BACK TO ME. THANK YOU.

YEAH. MR. MILLER? YEAH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JUST A COUPLE OF CURIOSITY QUESTIONS FOR ME IN TERMS OF FROM THE STREETS.

WHAT'S THE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS ON THAT? ARE THERE ANY OR.

YES. DO YOU RUN INTO THAT AT ALL. YES THERE ARE, BUT WE'RE REALLY FAR BACK.

SO YEAH, PLENTY SAFE AND ROOM TO EXPAND. IF WE HAD TO.

YES. NOW WE DO. YEAH. BECAUSE WE HAVE I MEAN, JUST LIKE WE MENTIONED, WE'VE GOT 170 SPACES ON OUR SITE PARKING SPACES.

AND SO THAT'S ROUGHLY FOR VISITORS AND STAFF.

SO THAT'S CERTAINLY, WELL COVERS. YEAH. COVERS YOUR STAFF.

SO THE BEST PLACE TO ADD WOULD BE IN SOME OF THOSE AREAS, ESPECIALLY TO THE RIGHT OF THE BUILDING TO BETWEEN STAFF PARKING AND THE BUILDING ITSELF OFF TO THE RIGHT. SURE. YEAH. THANK YOU. THOSE ARE DEFINITELY AREAS WHERE WE CAN ADD.

AND THE GOOD THING, TOO, IS THAT YOU OWN THE PROPERTY WITH THE NATATORIUM.

SO WE CAN ALSO REDO SOME OF THAT, ALTHOUGH YOU DO WANT TO KIND OF KEEP THE LOADING DOCK AND LEAVE THAT ALONE.

I WANT TO EXPAND A LITTLE BIT ON MISS GRIFFIN'S ANSWER AND GO INTO YOUR ANSWER.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN HE SAID STATE OF THE ART, HE WAS BEING HUMBLE.

WE WERE LOOKING AT ADDING AN AREA FOR LIKE A CONFERENCE CENTER FOR UP TO ABOUT 300 EMPLOYEES HERE, BUT THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT A $4 MILLION ADD.

OKAY. YEAH. OKAY. AND SO THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO BE THERE, BUT IT'S JUST NOT FEASIBLE AT THIS POINT.

WE WENT VERY EFFICIENT WITH THE SQUARE FOOTAGE.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE IN THE OLD BUILDING THAT HAD INDIVIDUAL OFFICES THAT ARE NOW GOING TO BE IN MORE OF A BUSINESS SETTING WITH CUBICLES, AND NEXT TO IT, THEY DON'T HAVE PERSONAL SPACE. THE TEAM ENVIRONMENT YES.

AND SO WE DID MOVE TO THAT. AND BUT THE BEAUTIFUL PART ABOUT THIS, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED THE ARCHITECTURE TIED IN VERY NICELY WITH THE NEW LARRY GLICK NATATORIUM. RIGHT. AND SO IT REALLY LOOKS REALLY LIKE IT BELONGS.

RIGHT. AND BUT WE STILL GOT SPACE WHERE WE COULD ACTUALLY, IF WE EVER NEEDED TO EXPAND, GROW, PUT AN ANNEX SOMETHING THERE BECAUSE ALL THAT LAND PERMITS IT.

AND WE HAVE ALL THIS AMPLE PARKING THAT'S GOING TO BE CONNECTED TO, TO ALLOW FOR THAT.

YEAH. AND THEN COMPLETELY AGREE. I'M SORRY. THANK YOU.

AND JUST A COUPLE OF MORE. THE WAREHOUSE, IT IS 30 FOOT TALL.

IT GOES. YES. IS THAT WHAT I SAW? AT LEAST 30FT.

32. 30. 32FT. AND IS THAT THE ONLY SECTION THAT IS CLEAR SPACE TO THE SECOND FLOOR?

[00:55:06]

YEAH, IT'LL BE EXPOSED CEILING. RIGHT? YEAH. YEAH.

WHEN YOU SHOWED THE I CALL IT A COMPUTER ROOM, BUT IT'S THE TECHNOLOGY ROOM WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT PIECES OF EQUIPMENT.

RIGHT. WHAT TYPE OF IS THAT, A RAISED FLOORING.

YOU GOT ALL THAT? WE WE DID LOOK INTO BOTH OPTIONS.

AND RIGHT NOW, BASED ON FEEDBACK FROM OUR MEETINGS WITH THE DISTRICT, IT'S NO RAISED FLOOR.

OKAY. SO IT'LL BE ACTUALLY POLISHED CONCRETE AT THE MOMENT.

OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAD A QUESTION ABOUT THE SERVER ROOM.

IS THE SERVER ROOM SET RIGHT NOW FOR OUR CURRENT CAPACITY, OR IS THAT LIKE A FRACTION OF WHAT WE'RE CURRENTLY USING? RIGHT NOW IT'S LET ME CHECK ON THE CAPACITY. I MEAN, WE DO HAVE ROOM, YOU KNOW, IN THERE. I BELIEVE IT'S ACTUALLY A FEW. THERE'S A FEW EXTRA RACKS IN THERE RIGHT NOW, WHICH I THINK IS ACTUALLY WHERE WE'VE LEFT IT.

YEAH, YOU CAN PROBABLY ANSWER THAT A LOT BETTER THAN ME. GO AHEAD.

[LAUGHTER] GOOD EVENING, DR. SELDERS, BOARD OF TRUSTEES. DR. LOPEZ.

YEAH, THE SERVER ROOM. BECAUSE OF THE NEW TECHNOLOGY, WE'RE MOVING TO A LOT OF THINGS TO THE CLOUD. WE'VE ACTUALLY BEEN ABLE TO REDUCE OUR SERVER SPACE. AND SO THERE'S STILL AMPLE ROOM FOR SOME OTHER THINGS THAT WE DON'T FORESEE COMING, BUT IT HAS SHRUNK FROM OUR PREVIOUS SET IN A ROOM JUST BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING'S MOVING FROM ON SITE TO OFF SITE.

SO GOING FROM ON SITE TO OFF SITE IS THERE NOT THE NEED TO BUILD IN REDUNDANCY, OR IS REDUNDANCY ALREADY BUILT INTO THE SYSTEM AS IT IS.

IT'S GOING TO BE HIGHLY REDUNDANT. SO WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT TWO DATA CENTERS, ONES AT CCC, ONES HERE. WE'RE STILL HAVING MULTIPLE PATHWAYS FROM ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS TO BE REDUNDANT.

SO WHEN THERE'S CUT FIBER OR POWER OUTAGE, WE CAN SHIFT THE NETWORK OVER.

SO MOST OF THE SERVER ROOM IS GOING TO BE HELD WITH NETWORK EQUIPMENT, NOT NECESSARILY HOUSED DATA PER SE.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YES. SO ALL THE COMMUNICATION HARDWARE AND THE NETWORK FIBER THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DISTRICT WILL COME CENTRALLY TO THIS LOCATION.

COOL. THANK YOU. THAT'S ALL I HAVE. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU GUYS. THANK YOU. YEAH. OUR NEXT INFORMATION ITEM.

[IV.C. Bond 2023 Projects-Permitting New Builds and Additions – Javier Fernandez]

NEW BUILDS AND ADDITIONS. MR. FERNANDEZ. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE PRESENTATION FROM PBK VERY EXCITED TO GET THAT PROJECT GOING.

PRESIDENT SELDERS, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD . DR. LOPEZ, HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT TO YOU AN INFORMATION ITEM HAS TO DO WITH REPLATING.

AS THIS BOND PROGRAM HAS QUITE A FEW GROUND UP PROPERTIES THAT WE'RE DOING.

THIS BOND PROGRAM HERE IS COMPLETELY INSTRUMENTAL AND IS GOING TO CHANGE THE FACE OF GARLAND, THE FACE OF ROWLETT, AND THE FACE OF SACHSE. ALL THAT BEING SAID, THAT REQUIRES US TO REPLAT OUR PROPERTIES.

ONE OF THE ONES THAT WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU TONIGHT TO LOOK AT IS NAAMAN FOREST.

AND THIS IS A REPLAT OF NAAMAN FOREST NAAMAN FOREST HIGH SCHOOL.

SO PART OF, AS I SHARED EARLIER, ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS FROM THE CITY OF GARLAND IS TO ACTUALLY HAVE A REPLAT FILED WITH THE DALLAS COUNTY AND BEFORE A BUILDING PERMIT WILL ACTUALLY BE ISSUED.

SO IT'S A TWO STEP PROCESS. THEY ACTUALLY ISSUE A SITE PERMIT, WHICH IS WHAT WE'VE RECEIVED, AND WE ARE WORKING ON THE SITE. BUT NOW THE BUILDING PERMIT, WE CAN'T GO VERTICAL UNTIL WE GET A BUILDING PERMIT, AND YOU CAN'T GET A BUILDING PERMIT UNTIL YOU DO A REPLAT WITHIN THE CITY OF GARLAND.

SO THIS HERE IS NAAMAN FOREST WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU TONIGHT BECAUSE THIS ACTUALLY HAS.

THERE'S ACTUALLY FOUR EASEMENTS THAT ARE SHOWN ON THIS.

TWO EASEMENTS ARE EXTENSIONS OF EXISTING UTILITY EASEMENTS AND ONE OF THE EASEMENTS TO THE ACTUAL LET ME SEE. THAT IS ON FOREST VIEW DRIVE. THE LARGE GRAY AREA THAT'S ON FOREST VIEW DRIVE, THAT IS ACTUALLY A DRAINAGE EASEMENT THAT IS BEING PLATTED ON THIS PROPERTY.

AND THE OTHER GREAT EASEMENT THAT YOU SEE JUST NORTH OF THAT IS ACTUALLY AN EASEMENT THAT WE ARE HAVING TO PLAT ON THIS.

WHAT WE DISCOVERED IN, IN WORKING ON THIS PROJECT IS THAT THE PROPERTY ACTUALLY HAS AN EASEMENT ON IT.

[01:00:04]

AND IT WAS ACTUALLY A SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT, BUT WAS NEVER FILED.

SO AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS IS THAT WE BRING YOU EASEMENTS ON OCCASION AND WHERE, WHEN WE'RE ACTUALLY BRINGING EASEMENTS IN.

WHILE YOU APPROVE IT, IT ACTUALLY STILL HAS TO BE FILED WITH THE COUNTY.

AND SO THERE'S A PLANNING, THERE'S A PROCESS THAT HAS TO HAPPEN.

AND SO WE DISCOVERED THAT SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT WAS NOT PLATTED, AND EXCUSE ME, WAS NOT FILED.

AND SO WE ARE NOW CHANGING THAT SANITARY SEWER EASEMENT TO A STORM EASEMENT.

AND YOU CAN SEE THERE. SO THOSE ARE THE FOUR EASEMENTS THAT ARE BEING BEING CHANGED ON THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY AS PART OF THE PROJECT.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION. TRUSTEES ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS. OKAY. THANK YOU,MR. FERNANDEZ. WE'LL NOW MOVE TO OUR ACTION ITEMS SECTION FIVE FOR

[V.A. New Bids]

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDATION TO AWARD DEMONSTRATED COMPETENCY AND REASONABLE FEE AUDIT SERVICES AND CONSTRUCT MANAGER AT RISK. SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTION. IS THAT RIGHT? CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK. OKAY. AGREED UPON PROCEDURES. MR. VALENZUELA AND MR. GONZALES. GOOD EVENING. I MAY ASK MR. BOOKER TO COME UP HERE IF THERE ARE ANY PROCUREMENT QUESTIONS? SO BASICALLY THIS EVENING, FIRST OF ALL, GOOD EVENING.

BOARD PRESIDENT, BOARD OF TRUSTEES. DR. LOPEZ, WE'RE HERE THIS EVENING TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF THE RECOMMENDATION OF A AUDIT OF PROCESSES FOR OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK .

THE AUDIT FIRM. THE AUDIT FIRM THAT'S ACTUALLY BEEN IDENTIFIED IS WHITLEY PENN.

WHITLEY PENN DOES A LOT OF AUDITS FOR US FOR OUR FINANCIAL TEAM.

BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT WE'VE EVER REALLY HIRED AN AUDIT FIRM TO DO CMARS AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE MAJOR PROJECTS.

SO IT'S THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE ADMINISTRATION THAT THIS AUDIT SERVICE AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK THAT THE AGREED THE AGREED PROCEDURES THAT THE DISTRICT IDENTIFIED IN THE CONTRACTS ARE BEING FOLLOWED AND BEING VERIFIED.

SO THE CMARS THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH, WE PLAN TO AUDIT THE PROCESSES THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AND OUTLINED IN THE CONTRACTS.

MR. BOOKER, IS ANY OTHER INFORMATION THAT YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD? YES. JUST WANTED TO BE AVAILABLE IN CASE THERE ARE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE DEMONSTRATED COMPETENCY.

THAT IS THE REQUIREMENT FOR US TO ENGAGE PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IN LIEU OF ISSUING A REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS, THE DISTRICT WORKS WITH PROFESSIONAL SERVICES, IDENTIFYING THAT THEY DID HAVE THE DEMONSTRATED COMPETENCE AND THE FEE IS REASONABLE.

AND THIS IS THE CASE THAT IS BEFORE YOU TODAY.

THE DISTRICT DID NOT ISSUE AN ACTUAL REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS, BUT BASED IT OFF DEMONSTRATED COMPETENCE AND A REASONABLE FEE STRUCTURE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT INFORMATION. TRUSTEES ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS, MS. GRIFFIN? SO. WE HAVEN'T DONE THIS BEFORE AT THIS LEVEL. SO WHAT DO WE GAIN FROM THIS PROCESS AS A BOARD OF TRUSTEES? WHAT DO WE GAIN AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT AND WHAT IS IT INSURING FOR US? AS IT RELATES TO COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONTRACT AND THAT THE FEES THAT ARE BEING CHARGED, THEY ARE IN FACT THE EXPENSES THAT WERE THEY WERE IN FACT EXPENDED AS PART OF THE GENERAL, THE GMP. THAT'S FOR THE CONSTRUCTION SIDE OF THE HOUSE.

THEY'LL JUST WILL BE VERIFYING PAY APPS AND OTHER THINGS JUST TO ENSURE THAT IT MEETS ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF OUR CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT.

SO WHAT WILL WE SEE AS A BOARD OR WILL WE SEE ANYTHING? IT BASICALLY IF THERE ARE, IF WE DO NOT EXPAND ALL OF THE FUNDS FROM THE GMP, THOSE WOULD REVERT BACK TO THE DISTRICT.

SO IF WE RECEIVE NOTHING, WE HAVE TO ASSUME THAT ALL IS WELL AND EVERYTHING IS GOING BY DESIGN.

[01:05:05]

WE CAN CHECK ON THAT AND SEE. YEAH, IT IS . IT IS NOT AN AUDIT.

YES. IT IS A COMPLIANCE WITH AGREED PROCEDURES.

OKAY. I THINK THAT THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. YEAH.

IT'S NOT. WE SEE HERE AUDIT THAT MEANS. NO, THE AUDIT IS FOR THE FINANCIAL AUDIT.

THIS PARTICULAR PIECE THAT YOU'RE IN REFERENCE TO THAT IS THE PROCEDURE.

BUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS IS NOT FOLLOWING THE SAME GUIDELINES.

THAT IS AN AUDIT. THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FINANCIAL AUDIT AND AGREED UPON PROCEDURES.

YES, MA'AM. THAT'S WHY IT'S IDENTIFIED IN THE BOARD IN THE AGENDA ACCORDINGLY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. MR. GLICK. THANK YOU SIR. SO I DON'T REMEMBER AT ALL DOING THIS IN THE 2014 BOND. WE DID NOT.

RIGHT. NO, SIR. THAT'S CORRECT. RIGHT. SO WHY THE GENESIS NOW? JUST IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK HAS BECOME A LOT MORE POPULAR AND BEING USED MORE OFTEN AND MORE FREQUENTLY FOR LARGER PURCHASES.

AND DURING THAT TIME OF TENURE, A LOT OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE STARTED UTILIZING THAT PROCESS.

OKAY. AND WHY ARE WE BRINGING IN AN INDEPENDENT FIRM RATHER THAN US DOING AN AUDIT? THAT'S WHERE I'M CONFUSED. I THINK THE DISTRICT DETERMINED THAT WE NEEDED THE OUTSIDE RESOURCES TO PERFORM THOSE AUDITS, OR, EXCUSE ME, TO PERFORM THOSE AGREED UPON PROCEDURES.

OKAY. BUT NONE OF THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH QUALITY CONTROL.

IS THAT CORRECT? NO, SIR. IT IS COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT, AND THE PAYMENT APPLICATIONS ARE PROPERLY REVIEWED AND APPROVED. SO WHEN WE SIGNED THE CONTRACTS WITH THE CMARS, WAS THERE A PARAGRAPH SOMEWHERE IN THE CONTRACT INDICATING THAT WE WOULD AT SOME POINT HAVE AN INDEPENDENT AUDIT FIRM TO AUDIT THEM.

YES, SIR. THERE IS IN THE CONTRACTS THAT WERE FORMULATED BY COUNSEL, EICHELBAUM WAS OUR COUNSEL MADE SURE THAT WAS IN ALL OF OUR AGREEMENTS, THAT WE DID HAVE THE OPTION OF DOING THAT. OKAY.

SO DO WE HAVE ANYBODY DOING QUALITY CONTROL AUDITS.

AND THIS WOULD NOT BE NUMBERS. THIS WOULD BE PROJECT SPECIFIC.

YES. OUR PROJECT TEAM, THE PROJECT, THE PROJECT MANAGERS FOR EACH PROJECT ON THE DISTRICT'S SIDE WILL BE DOING WALKS AND QUALITY ASSURANCE THAT THE PROJECTS ARE GETTING DONE ACCORDING TO THE PLANS.

AND I REMEMBER ONE OF OUR BOND MEETINGS, YOU INTRODUCED EACH ONE OF THEM AND THEY TOLD US WHAT THEIR PROJECTS WERE.

SO THOSE I'M ASSUMING ARE THE SAME GENTLEMEN, UNLESS THERE'S BEEN SOME TURNOVER AND THEY WILL BE DOING THEIR OWN AUDITS.

YES. MR. FERNANDEZ BOND TEAM WILL BE DOING THE WALKTHROUGHS AND THE WEEKLY OAC MEETINGS, THE OWNERS MEETINGS TO ENSURE THAT THE DISTRICT IS GETTING THE BEST QUALITY SERVICE AND GOODS THAT WE ARE PAYING FOR.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. MR. BEACH, WHERE DID THIS EDICT COME DOWN FROM? I MEAN, WHERE DID IT COME FROM THAT START THIS FROM WHEN? I MEAN, SINCE WE DIDN'T DO IT IN 2014, I MEAN, NOW WE ARE.

THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THIS SERVICE.

AND WHAT DOES IT DO TO PROTECT US? TALKING AND SPEAKING WITH OTHER DISTRICTS IN THE NORTH TEXAS AREA. WHEN I FIRST WHEN WE FIRST PROPOSED THIS CMAR DELIVERY METHOD I REACHED OUT PERSONALLY TO THE DIFFERENT ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENTS OF CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER DISTRICTS THAT HAVE DONE LARGE BOND PROGRAMS, AND THIS WAS ONE OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THEY TOLD ME TO ENSURE THAT THE DISTRICT WAS PROTECTED BECAUSE SOME DISTRICTS HAVE FOUND WHERE THEY'RE DOING THESE MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PROJECTS UTILIZING A CMAR DELIVERY SOMETIMES THINGS GET LOST IN THE WEEDS, AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME PERSONALLY THAT THEY FOUND SOME ERRORS WHERE THE DISTRICT WAS PAID BACK OR GIVEN A CREDIT FOR THINGS, THAT THEY MAY HAVE BEEN CHARGED, THAT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CHARGED ON GENERAL CONDITIONS, ON PAY APPS, ON A LOT OF THINGS THAT THAT COST US A LOT OF MONEY.

AND WE GOT TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE GETTING WHAT WE PAY FOR.

SO JUST TALKING TO SOME OTHER PROFESSIONALS IN OTHER DISTRICTS, THIS WAS A RECOMMENDATION THAT THEY TOLD ME, IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO CMAR DELIVERY, YOU NEED TO ENSURE SOMEONE'S OVERSEEING THAT.

SO IT'S JUST BASICALLY OVERSIGHT SO THAT IF SOMETHING IS GOING WRONG, THEY'RE GOING TO COVER IT OR THEY'RE GOING TO LET US KNOW ABOUT IT OR WHATEVER THE CASE

[01:10:06]

MR. FERNANDEZ KNOW HEY, WE NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THE RULER TO SLAP HIS HAND. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT. OKAY. THANK YOU. SO IF THE PROCESSES AREN'T FOLLOWED HOW DOES THAT GET COMMUNICATED? AND IN WHAT TIMELINE WOULD WE EXPECT TO SEE SOMETHING? WE'VE MET WITH WE'VE MET WITH WHITLEY PENN ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS.

WE'RE STILL FINALIZING THOSE DETAILS, BUT IT WOULD BE, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, THEY'VE ALREADY HAVE MR. FERNANDEZ HAS ALREADY HAS FORWARDED ALL THE PROJECTS, AND THEY ACTUALLY ARE STARTING TO REVIEW SOME OF THIS STUFF.

BUT WHEN IT'S WHEN THIS IS APPROVED, THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO GO COMPLETELY THROUGH THOSE INDIVIDUAL CONTRACTS WITH THOSE CMARS.

SO WE SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING BACK PRETTY SOON ONCE THEY GO THROUGH THIS CONTRACT.

BUT YOU GOT TO REMEMBER, THESE CONTRACTS HAVE TO BE EXECUTED AND THE PROJECTS HAVE TO BE ONGOING.

SO LIKE RIGHT NOW, THE ONLY CONTRACTS THAT ARE ONGOING ARE THE MACS AND THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT ACTUALLY ARE IN PROCESS RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT. OKAY. AND ALSO AS A REMINDER TO THE BOARD, WE DIDN'T DO CMARS IN THE 2014 BOND.

THIS IS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF PROCESS THAT WE'VE USED FOR EFFICIENCY.

TO GO BACK TO WHATEVER MR. MILLER WAS SAYING, WE DON'T HAVE TO GO AND WORRY ABOUT GETTING OUR ARCHITECTS AND EVERYBODY.

RIGHT. THEY'RE ALL ASSIGNED. SO THIS IS TO MAKE SURE THE PROCEDURAL SAFEGUARDS ARE STILL INTACT.

YEAH. I'M KIND OF GOING BACK TO MY QUESTION. SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE PROCESSES.

RIGHT. SO EACH PROJECT IS GOING TO POTENTIALLY HAVE A DIFFERENT PROCESS BECAUSE THEY HAVE DIFFERENT CMARS.

IS THAT CORRECT. THAT'S CORRECT. THERE'S DIFFERENT THERE'S DIFFERENT CMARS.

I CAN'T REMEMBER THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF CMARS, BUT YES, WE HAVE DIFFERENT CMARS FOR DIFFERENT PROJECTS.

RIGHT. AND SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE ASSESSING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE FOLLOWING WHATEVER PROCESS THEY SHOULD BE FOLLOWING. AND BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T REALLY STARTED WITH A LOT OF THESE PROGRAMS JUST YET. I MEAN, IT'S STILL NEW IN THE PROCESS.

THE PROCESSES FOR THE ACTUAL IN THE AGREEMENTS, THE PROCESSES ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME, BUT THE SCOPE IS DIFFERENT AND THE AMOUNTS ARE DIFFERENT AND THE TIMELINES ARE DIFFERENT. BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT ALL OF THAT, RIGHT? THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT ALL THAT. YES SIR. OKAY. AND SO MY QUESTION IS IF THEY'RE NOT FOLLOWING SOMETHING IN THAT PROCESS, HOW WOULD THAT GET COMMUNICATED BACK TO US.

THAT WOULD BE COMMUNICATED BACK TO OUR BOND TEAM OR TO MR. FERNANDEZ? IS THAT GOING TO COME TO US ON A PRESENTATION BOARD? INSIGHTS. WE WILL, I WILL ENSURE THAT MR. FERNANDEZ WILL SHARE THAT WITH THE BOARD IF WE FIND SOME SITUATIONS LIKE THAT.

OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU GUYS.

BECAUSE THAT IS AN ACTION ITEM. WE DON'T HAVE OUR CLICKERS TODAY.

SO WE WILL HAVE TO BE VOTING ON THIS MANUALLY.

I KNOW THAT'S DISAPPOINTING FOR Y'ALL, BUT IT'S ALL GOOD.

SO AT THIS POINT I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MR. PRESIDENT. YES, SIR. I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE RECOMMENDATION OF AN AWARD, DEMONSTRATED COMPETENCY AND REASONABLE FEE AUDIT SERVICES AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK AGREED UPON PROCEDURES AS PRINTED IN OUR BOARD BOOK.

SECOND. IT'S BEEN MOVED BY MR. JOHNSON, SECONDED BY MR. GLICK. IS THERE ANY ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION? THERE IS NONE.

WE'RE READY TO VOTE BY SHOW OF HANDS. THAT MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.

WE'LL NOW MOVE TO OUR NEXT NEW BID ACTION ITEM FOR CONTRACT 510-01-1.4 TO CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDED GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE GMP NUMBER TWO FOR BOND-2023 KIMBERLIN ACADEMY FOR EXCELLENCE, FORMERLY HILLSIDE ACADEMY FOR EXCELLENCE, MR. FERNANDEZ. THANK YOU. BOARD PRESIDENT SELDERS.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD . DR. LOPEZ, EXCITED TO COME TO YOU TONIGHT TO PRESENT TO YOU OUR GMP NUMBER TWO FOR OUR KIMBERLIN ACADEMY.

IF YOU RECALL, A COUPLE OF MONTHS BACK, LATE LAST YEAR, WE APPROVED GMP NUMBER ONE FOR THE DEMOLITION OF HILLSIDE ACADEMY, AND THAT IS NOW COMPLETE. WE'VE NOW GOT A NICE GREEN FIELD THERE WHERE WE CAN PUT A NEW BUILDING ON.

AND SO TONIGHT WE BRING TO YOU ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION TO UTILIZE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK BEING LEE LEWIS CONSTRUCTION FOR THE BUILDING OF OUR NEW KIMBERLIN ACADEMY OF EXCELLENCE AND FOR A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $59,034,676. WITH THAT,

[01:15:06]

ANY QUESTIONS? TRUSTEES. MISS STANLEY? OKAY. SORRY.

SO IT'S JUST MORE ABOUT THE BUDGETING. SO THIS IS EXPLAIN TO ME EXACTLY THIS 59 MILLION DOES NOT INCLUDE SOFT COSTS. THIS IS JUST THE CONSTRUCTION.

WHAT'S THIS 59 MILLION? YES, YES. OKAY, SO BEAR WITH ME.

SO THIS IS A CONSTRUCTION COST. THIS IS GMP FOR CONSTRUCTION.

WHEN YOU SPEAK OF SOFT COSTS, THOSE COSTS ARE ARCHITECTURAL FEES.

THOSE ARE ANY WHAT WE CALL MISCELLANEOUS FEES, THOSE BEING GEOTECH SURVEYS.

EXCUSE ME. GEOTECH CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL, TESTING, TEST AND BALANCE.

THOSE ARE ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO PAY FOR. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE FF&E HOW TO FURNISH THE BUILDING.

SO WE HAVE A SEPARATE BUDGET ITEM, A LINE ITEM IN OUR BUDGET SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT.

SO AND WE ALSO HAVE A LINE ITEM SPECIFICALLY FOR THE TECHNOLOGY THAT ACTUALLY GOES INTO THE BUILDING.

SO ALL OF THAT IS PART OF THE BUDGET. AND IT'S SEPARATE FROM THESE DOLLAR AMOUNTS.

OKAY. SO WHEN I GUESS THAT'S WHERE I CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH HOW WE'RE PRESENTING IT IS THAT WHEN I LOOK AT OUR SHEET HERE, I SHOW THAT WE HAVE A REMAINING BUDGET OF 57 MILLION.

SO JUST THIS 59 MILLION ALONE IS 1.8, 1.9, ALL ROUNDED UP 1.9 MILLION OVER THAN WHAT I'M SEEING HERE.

AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN DONE WHAT YOU JUST SAID. AND WHERE IS THAT IN THIS? BECAUSE OUR TOTAL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 62 MILLION FOR THIS, RIGHT? SO WE'RE OBVIOUSLY OVER BUDGET. WHAT IS OUR ESTIMATED OVER OUT THE DOOR BUDGET ON THIS ONE.

GO AHEAD. I THINK I'VE PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION PREVIOUSLY.

AND I BELIEVE THIS PROJECT TOTAL. I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THAT THE ANALOGY YOU USED OUT THE DOOR.

I ALWAYS SAY, WHAT DOES IT COST YOU TO GET THE KEYS IN HAND? SO WHEN WE TALK, BECAUSE WE TALK CONSTRUCTION BUDGETS AND WE TALK PROJECT BUDGETS, WE HAVE ALL THESE DIFFERENT NUMBERS THAT WE TALK ABOUT.

I ALWAYS LIKE TO SAY, HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST ME TO GET THE KEYS? I JUST WANT THE KEYS IN MY HAND. AND I KNOW HOW MUCH IS THAT GOING TO COST ME.

SO THAT ALL THOSE DOLLARS WHAT WE CALL A PROJECTED COST.

WE HAVE THOSE DOLLARS, AND I BELIEVE THIS ONE.

THE TOTAL PROJECTED COST FOR THIS ONE IS ABOUT 4 MILLION.

ABOUT 4 MILLION OVER THE TOTAL 63. ABOUT $4 MILLION OVER.

AND ADDED TO THAT PART OF THE $4 MILLION WAS THE ADDED, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT FOR THE TO GET THE TRAFFIC OUT OF THE MIDDLE AND SIDEWAYS. AND YES, ROADS? YEAH. SO WE'VE GOT THERE ARE SOME CHALLENGES ON THIS PROPERTY.

IF YOU RECALL, THIS IS A VERY TIGHT SITE. ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS THAT MUNICIPALITIES PUT ON US, AND THEY HAVE THE RIGHT AND THAT IS THEY WANT TO DO A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS ON OUR PROPERTIES.

THEY WANT TO KNOW, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO SERVE THE STUDENTS THERE, AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE YOUR TRAFFIC AND PUT IT ON YOUR PROPERTY? IF YOU LOOK AT A WALMART, YOU'LL LOOK AT A HOME DEPOT.

THEY HAVE VERY LARGE PARKING LOTS. THE CITIES DO NOT WANT ANYONE IF YOU'RE TRAVELING TO THAT FACILITY, THEY DON'T WANT YOU PARKING IN THE STREET. THEY WANT YOU TO PARK ON THE SITE.

AND SO THIS PARTICULAR PROPERTY HERE HAS A LOT OF, HAS A LOT OF PARKING, HAS A LOT OF DROP OFF PARENT DROP OFF, BUS DROP OFF ON THE PROPERTY SO WE CAN GET PARENTS AND STUDENTS AND BUSSES AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS ONTO THE PROPERTY.

THAT'S ALSO GOING TO REQUIRE US TO DO A TRAFFIC THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT DAIRY AND MILLER.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REWORK THAT. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO REWORK SOME OF THE STORMWATER THAT WE HAVE THERE.

SO THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF CHANGES THAT ARE GOING TO HAVE TO OCCUR WITHIN THAT PREMISE.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD NOT HAVE ANTICIPATED VERY, VERY EARLY ON WHEN WE'RE DOING WHEN WE'RE PLANNING 3 OR 4 YEARS AGO WHEN WE'RE DOING THE BUDGET PLANNING. SO BUT WE'RE SAYING THAT WITH ALL THAT.

WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO WALK IN AND TURN ON THE LIGHTS AND START OUR FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL AND WILL BE 4 MILLION OVER.

OR WE STILL DO NOT KNOW. IT'S NOT TO EXCEED. THAT'S WHY WE DO THE CONSTRUCTION IS GOING TO BE THE MOST AMOUNT THAT WE PAY.

THAT'S GOING TO BE. AND THEN WE HAVE THE SOFT COSTS.

[01:20:01]

SO THERE'S THAT'S WHY IT'S KIND OF CONFUSING.

SO YOU HAVE YOUR CONSTRUCTION AND THEN YOU HAVE YOUR SOFT COSTS.

THE CONSTRUCTION IS GOING TO BE THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY'S AT.

RIGHT. SO WE'RE SAYING NOT TO EXCEED THIS AMOUNT.

AND THAT'S WHERE THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK COMES IN, BECAUSE HE'S SAYING THAT THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE ARCHITECT AND THE CONSTRUCTION FIRM IS SAYING, THIS IS WHAT THE ARCHITECT DESIGNED.

THIS IS WHAT WE'RE SAYING IT WILL TAKE TO BUILD. AND THEN NOW WE'RE SECURING THAT MONEY.

AND UNLESS THERE'S AN UNFORESEEABLE THING THAT WE DON'T KNOW, RIGHT.

ONCE WE START DIGGING YOU KNOW, IN ONE OF MY FORMER DISTRICTS, IT WAS IT BECAME A SACRED SITE FOR INDIAN TRIBAL GROUND, RIGHT? SO THEN YOU COULD NO LONGER DO THINGS ON THAT SITE.

BESIDES THOSE UNFORESEEABLE RISKS THAT SHOULD NOT EXCEED THIS AMOUNT FOR CONSTRUCTION.

OKAY. I GET SO I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT I GUESS WHERE I'M GOING TO KEEP COMING BACK AND IT SHOULDN'T BE ANYTHING NEW, IS THAT I DON'T THINK IT'S A SURPRISE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE OVER THAT 62 MILLION.

I DON'T THINK I DON'T THINK IT'S BEEN A SURPRISE TO ANYBODY, BUT I CAN'T SEEM TO LOCK DOWN WHAT WE THINK THAT TRUE OVER THE BUDGET IS BECAUSE I'M ASKING. BECAUSE, OKAY, YOU'RE LOOKING OVER TO 62.

PUT THE 62 AWAY. THE CONSTRUCTION BUDGET THAT WE PUT WAS ORIGINALLY WHAT WAS IT, 54? 57 ACCORDING TO THIS. I DON'T KNOW.

OKAY. YEAH. 57. NO, IT WAS NOT 57. I WON'T HAVE THAT.

I DON'T HAVE THAT IN FRONT OF ME. SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT JUST LOOK AT THE TWO CONSTRUCTION BUDGETS, RIGHT. SO WHAT'S CONFUSING IN THIS PART, A CMAR WORKS VERY DIFFERENT THAN A COMPETITIVE SEAL PROPOSAL.

WHAT HAPPENS WITH COMPETITIVE SEAL PROPOSALS, LIKE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE LATER ON IN THIS, IN THIS DOCKET, IS THAT THEY'LL GO AHEAD AND SAY FOR THIS, WE ARE THINKING IT'S NOT SAYING WE ARE THINKING WE COULD BUILD IT FOR X, OKAY. AND AS THEY START BUILDING THIS, I THINK THE BOARD REMEMBERS THIS IN 2014.

CHANGE ORDER. CHANGE ORDER. CHANGE ORDER. SO YOU DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THE CHANGE ORDERS WERE GOING TO STOP, RIGHT? CHANGE ORDER. CHANGE ORDER. SO YOU SAID WOW, WE'RE UNDER BUDGET.

BUT NOW NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING OVER BUDGET.

WHAT CMAR DOES IS KIND OF THE REVERSE. THEY'RE SAYING THIS IS THIS IS WHAT THE PROJECT'S GOING TO COST.

WE HAVE CONTINGENCIES BUILT. THIS IS WHAT WE WE DON'T FORESEE IT TO GO OVER.

SO FROM THE CONSTRUCTION END, IT'S ABOUT $4.5 MILLION OVER.

SO WITH THE SOFT COSTS AND EVERYTHING ELSE, OF COURSE, ON SOFT COSTS, YOU HAVE, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, JAVIER, IT'S A PERCENTAGE. SO THE HIGHER THE CONSTRUCTION BUDGET, THE MORE THE PERCENTAGES.

SO IT MOVES IT UP A LITTLE BIT. YES, SIR. SO ONE OF THE THINGS.

YES, SIR. AND THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP. SO TO, TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, IT'S ABOUT $4 MILLION THAT IS A PROJECTED THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT, DR. LOPEZ, AS YOU MENTIONED, THE ARCHITECTURAL CONTRACTS ARE PERCENTAGE FEE BASED OF CONSTRUCTION, TOTAL COST OF WORK. AND SO THE OVERALL WE'VE WE PROJECT THAT ONCE YOU ADD THOSE DOLLARS INTO THE PROJECT AND ONCE YOU ADD ANY ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT WE'RE SEEING, THE TOTAL IS GOING TO BE ABOUT 4 MILLION OVER.

OKAY. SO. I'M WORKING TO KEEP MY FRUSTRATION LEVEL DOWN, SO I APOLOGIZE IF I DON'T, BUT I TOTALLY, 100% UNDERSTAND HOW BUDGETS WORK.

I DO, AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF BUDGETS, AND IT ALL COMES INTO THE END.

BUT MY FRUSTRATION CONTINUES TO BE IN IS THAT I'M NOT GETTING A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING, BECAUSE WHEN YOU SHOWED US THE DRAWINGS, I WAS CONCERNED WITH THE OVER BUDGET, IF WE REMEMBER, AND IT WAS, WELL, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT BECAUSE WE STILL HAVEN'T DONE ALL THIS STUFF AND WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE AT.

BUT IF I WAS TO SAY TO YOU, NO, I'M NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR $59 MILLION, I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR 57 MILLION.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE AWAY. BECAUSE AT THIS POINT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT WE THINK OUR TOTAL BUDGET FOR WHAT WE SAID WE WERE GOING TO SPEND.

AND I GET THAT IT WAS A BUDGET AND I GET THAT IT'S FLUID AND I GET THAT WE CAN'T CONTROL.

BUT AT SOME POINT WE HAVE TO MAKE AN ESTIMATE OF WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE $5, AND NOW IT'S GOING TO BE $4.95, OR IT'S GOING TO BE $10.95. AND QUITE FRANKLY, I'M OKAY WITH IT.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW, BECAUSE WE'RE ASKING TO APPROVE 59 MILLION.

BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL WHAT WE THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO SPEND.

AND THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR MONTHS NOW, IS I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE THOUGHT AND WHAT WE THINK,

[01:25:04]

WE WOULD HAVE BROUGHT IT BACK BECAUSE WE SCRUBBED. THIS IS WHERE WE'RE GOOD OKAY. SO LET'S GO BACKWARDS.

WE ARE GOOD WITH THIS. BUT WE NEED TO GET THE DELTA BETWEEN WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION BUDGET AND WHAT IS THE THE NEW ONE.

THE ORIGINAL ONE WAS IN THE 4 WASN'T IT LIKE 47 MILLION I BELIEVE.

YES, IT WAS $47,346,402. THE ORIGINAL ONE THAT WE BUILT OUT.

RIGHT. SO OKAY. SO IT WAS LIKE 47 MILLION. THIS ONE SAYS 59.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE $12 MILLION DOLLAR DELTA.

BUT WE SCRUBBED OUT A LOT OF THE CONTINGENCIES, AND EVERYTHING ELSE WHERE THE 47 MILLION WOULD HAVE BEEN.

SO WHEN WE DO ALL THE AGGREGATE RIGHT NOW, LET'S JUST SAY WE'RE DOING ALL THE AGGREGATE WITH SOFT COSTS.

WE SAID WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO OVER THE 62 MILLION.

CORRECT. SO WHEN WE SAID THE 62 MILLION, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO OVER WITH ALL THE AGGREGATE FURNITURE, SOFT COSTS, ALL THE PERMITTING FEES, ALL OF THAT, WE'RE GOING TO BE 66 MILLION, NOT 62 MILLION WITH THAT.

BUT THAT'S NOT HOW THE PHASES GO. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT CONSTRUCTION PHASE.

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S A BIG DELTA. BUT BECAUSE OF ALL THE SCRUBBING IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE 4.5 MILLION OVER.

OKAY. AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT. BUT THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE BEFORE I'M ASKED TO APPROVE THE 59 MILLION IS ALL I'M ASKING IS I JUST WANT TO SEE WHERE WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE.

AND WE CAN SAY IT MIGHT LOOK LIKE IT'S 12 MILLION RIGHT NOW, BUT WE TRULY BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE CLOSER TO FIVE.

AND THEN YOU CAN OVERDELIVER AND GIVE ME FOUR AND A HALF.

I'M GOING TO BE THRILLED. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS, I JUST WANT THAT INFORMATION BEFORE YOU ASK ME TO VOTE ON 59 MILLION EXPENDITURE.

THAT'S ALL. OKAY, WELL, WE HAVE A FEW BUDGET SAVES COMING UP ON THE NEXT ONE, SO WE SHOULD BE OKAY.

SO. ALL RIGHT. NOTED. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

SO THIS IS AN ACTION ITEM. AND YOU ARE GOING TO BE ASKED TO VOTE.

SO WITH THAT I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MR. MILLER.

YEAH. THANK YOU. I CONSIDER KIMBERLIN ONE OF OUR SHOWCASE PLACES.

I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THAT THERE'S A NUMBER THAT I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THAT WE SPEND ON IT.

BUT I THINK THIS IS AN AWESOME PROJECT. YEAH, IT MAY BE A LITTLE OVER.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME A LITTLE UNDER. WE GOT SOME OTHER SAVES COMING.

SO I WOULD MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE THE RECOMMENDED GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE CONTRACT NUMBER TWO FOR BOND 2023 KIMBERLIN ACADEMY FOR EXCELLENCE AS PRESENTED TONIGHT IN THE BOARD BOOK.
