[I. Call to Order and Determination of Quorum]
SPECIAL BOND MEETING FOR TUESDAY, APRIL 8TH, 2025 DETERMINED THAT A QUORUM IS PRESENT AND WE WILL PROCEED WITH OUR AGENDA AS FOLLOWS.MISS HOGAN, ARE THERE ANY PUBLIC FORUM COMMENTS? NO, SIR. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. DOCTOR LOPEZ, SUPERINTENDENTS MESSAGE.
[III. Superintendent's Message]
WELL, I THINK TODAY IS KIND OF EXCITING. WE'RE GOING TO GO SEE A PRESENTATION ON THE CARSON MULKEY AGRICULTURAL CENTER.SO THAT'S COMING UP. SO I KNOW WE GOT THE DETAILS COMING WITH JAVIER FERNANDEZ RIGHT NOW, BUT AFTER THAT, IT'S GOING TO BE EXCITING. SO THIS IS A LONG OVERDUE.
[IV.A. Receive Presentation on Bond 2023 Program Summary Update – Javier Fernandez]
MR. FERNANDEZ.ALL RIGHT. GOOD AFTERNOON. BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
PRESIDENT SELDERS, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. DOCTOR LOPEZ, WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT TO YOU OUR APRIL 8TH, 2025 BOND PROGRAM SUMMARY UPDATE. WE ARE EXCITED TO REPORT WE'VE GOT A LOT OF PROGRESS GOING ON RIGHT NOW AND MORE TO COME.
SO WE'LL GET STARTED WITH THIS. FOR EVERYONE, THERE ARE THREE PROPOSITIONS THAT WE SPEAK OF.
ON OUR PROP A, PROJECT PHASE ONE BID PACK ONE, WHICH IS OUR SOFTBALL BASEBALL IMPROVEMENTS.
WE CONTINUE TO MAKE REALLY GOOD PROGRESS ON THAT.
AND SO WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THAT. ON PART THREE, WE ARE WORKING ON A DEMOLITION SOLICITATION.
SO THIS MONTH WE'LL ACTUALLY SOLICIT FOR A DEMOLITION PORTION.
SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. AND THAT THAT WILL BE THE THE CULMINATION OF THIS PROJECT HERE.
AND THIS IS SOUTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL. THIS IS A SOFTBALL FIELD.
THIS IS NORTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL AND NORTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL.
THE FIELDS THAT ARE HAVE BEEN REDONE THEIR LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL.
AND SO WE'RE MAKING VERY GOOD PROGRESS ON THAT.
THE FIELD HOUSE AND MULTI-PROGRAM ACTIVITY CENTERS.
WE CAN REPORT THAT. MOVING FORWARD, THERE'S ONLY ONE.
ONE SITE THAT WE LACK A BUILDING PERMIT FOR, AND THAT'S LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL.
WE RECEIVED THE BUILDING PERMITS FOR ALL THE OTHERS.
NOW, I WILL SHARE THAT ROWLETT AND SACHSE ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN THAT HOW THEY DO THEIR BUILDING PERMITTING, THEY WILL ACTUALLY NOT PROVIDE US THE ACTUAL PERMIT UNTIL THEY COMPLETE THE SITE, WORK AT THOSE SITES.
AND THE SITE ENGINEERING GROUP ACTUALLY APPROVES THAT WORK.
SO A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM EACH MUNICIPALITY.
WHEREAS GARLAND WILL ACTUALLY ISSUE YOU THE ACTUAL PERMIT FOR BUILDING.
ALL RIGHT. THESE ARE SOME AERIAL PHOTOS THAT YOU SEE OF OUR SCHOOLS.
THIS IS GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL. YOU CAN SEE THE STEEL THAT'S ALREADY BEEN DELIVERED THERE.
SOUTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE.
NORTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING WRAPPED UP. AS FAR AS GETTING THINGS READY TO GO.
ON WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE WITH THE FIELD. LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL.
AS I SAID, WE'VE GOT OUR. ALL OF OUR CONSTRUCTION TRAILERS ARE THERE.
OUR SITE FENCING IS THERE. WE'RE PUTTING IN OUR SWIP FENCING.
IT'S ALSO BEING PLACED THERE. OUR NORTH, EXCUSE ME, OUR NAAMAN FOREST HIGH SCHOOL.
THAT ONE IS COMPLETELY READY. AND WE HAVE STARTED TO DRILL PIERS IN THAT ON THAT PROJECT THERE.
ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL, THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE, THE EXCAVATION THAT'S ONGOING THERE.
[00:05:01]
AND YOU CAN SEE THE EXCAVATION WORK THAT IS TAKING PLACE AT SACHSE. SO WE'RE WELL ON THE WAY OF THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE FOR THESE FABULOUS BUILDINGS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE PROVIDING FOR OUR STUDENTS. ON THE FREEMAN ELEMENTARY, WE HAVE APPROVED, THANK YOU TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR APPROVING GMP NUMBER TWO IN FEBRUARY. I CAN SHARE WITH YOU THAT WHILE THIS IS A SITE PERMIT IS ANTICIPATED IN MAY, WE ARE WORKING REALLY HARD WITH THE CITY OF GARLAND TO EXPEDITE THE SITE, PERMITTING FOR THAT PROJECT. WE HAVE WORKED WITH THE CONTRACTOR.SAME THING WITH KIMBERLIN ACADEMY. THANK YOU FOR APPROVING THAT PROJECT IN MARCH FOR GMP NUMBER TWO, WE HAVE GOT THE BUILDING PERMITS, AS YOU SEE THERE, WHEN THEY WERE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY.
WE STILL ARE AWAITING THE SITE PERMIT FROM THE CITY FOR KIMBERLIN ACADEMY.
GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH A COUPLE OF REVIEWS WITH THEM.
I'M BEING TOLD FROM THE BUILDING OFFICIAL THAT THE MAJORITY OF DEPARTMENTS HAVE COMPLETED THEIR BUILDING REVIEW, BUT THE BUILDING PERMITS WILL NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL THE SITE PERMIT IS RELEASED.
AND SO THAT PROCESS GOES BACK AND FORTH WITH THE CITY OF GARLAND AND OUR DESIGN PROFESSIONALS.
ON LAKEVIEW, CENTENNIAL AND NAAMAN FOREST. WE PLAN ON BRINGING YOU THE GMP FOR THIS ONE NEXT MONTH.
FOR THAT PROJECT, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK ON GETTING THAT READY FOR YOU.
WE'LL BRING YOU A RECOMMENDATION NEXT MONTH, AND WE'LL BE EXCITED TO GET STARTED WITH THAT.
WE HAVE ACTUALLY SUBMITTED ALL THE DOCUMENTS TO THE CITY FOR PERMITTING AS WELL, AND SO WE'RE WAITING FOR FEEDBACK FROM THE CITY OF GARLAND ON THE PERMITTING PROCESS FOR THAT ONE AS WELL. THE ELEMENTARY AND PRE-KINDERGARTEN PLAYGROUNDS.
THANK YOU FOR APPROVING THE WORK TO TAKE PLACE ON MARCH THE 11TH.
WE'VE GOT A CONTRACT FOR THAT ONE. I BELIEVE THE CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT IS PENDING.
AND SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTOR NOW TO DETERMINE OUR FINAL STAGING SCHEDULE FOR THE WORK THAT HAS TO TAKE PLACE WITH THE CITY OF GARLAND, CITY OF ROWLETT, AND CITY OF SACHSE.
SO REALLY PLAN ON STARTING TO TURN SOME DIRT HERE WITHIN THIS SUMMER.
SO THAT ONE IS COMPLETE. AND SO NOW WE ARE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT CONTRACTOR AND DEVELOPING THE PROPER PHASING PLAN THAT WE NEED TO FOR THAT WORK TO TAKE PLACE WITH ALL THE THREE MUNICIPALITIES. OKAY. BEFORE YOU MOVE FROM THE FENCING ONE, I WAS AT AN EVENT RECENTLY, AND THERE WERE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FENCING THAT WE ARE PROPOSING FOR THE CAMPUSES FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.
AND THE CONCERN WAS THAT OUR SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE PRISONS. COULD YOU JUST ADDRESS THAT CONCERN? AND JUST KIND OF CLARIFY OR AT LEAST MAYBE SPEAK TO THAT? THAT'S NOT WHAT OUR INTENTION IS, AND THAT'S NOT OUR GOAL. OKAY.
I'LL BE HAPPY TO. CAN I SAY SOMETHING REAL QUICK? MR. PRESIDENT, ARE WE GOING TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AS WE GO ALONG? BECAUSE I HAVE ONE ON THE BASEBALL SOFTBALL.
I'M OKAY WITH QUESTIONS. MR. I WANTED TO GET TO THE PRESENTATION FIRST.
SO I WAS GOING TO BE. I'M FINE WITH THAT, I'M FINE WITH QUESTIONS. OKAY.
WELL, IF WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, I CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTION AND THEN TRUSTEE BEACH I WILL GO BACK AND ANSWER THE QUESTION REGARDING BASEBALL, SOFTBALL AND THEN PROCEED ON IF THAT'S OKAY. ALL RIGHT.
SO TO ANSWER THE QUESTION REGARDING FENCING, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT QUESTION UP. I KNOW THAT HAS BEEN A CONCERN FOR OUR FAMILIES AND FOR OUR COMMUNITY. WHAT DO OUR SCHOOL IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE? SO TO ASSURE TO PROVIDE SOME ASSURANCES FOR OUR SCHOOL, FOR OUR STUDENTS, STAFF AND OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR TEACHERS.
THE GOAL FOR US IN THIS FENCING PROJECT IS IT'S TWOFOLD.
ONE IS TO ENSURE THAT OUR THAT OUR FACILITIES FROM AN OWNER PERSPECTIVE IS PROPERLY FENCED.
THAT'S THE FIRST THING. THE SECOND THING IS TO PROVIDE OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF A SECURED PERIMETER AREA WHERE THEY CONGREGATE DURING THE DAY THAT THEY ARE PROVIDING INSTRUCTION.
[00:10:01]
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAFE.THEY FEEL SAFE. AND SO THAT'S PART OF WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE TODAY.
THEY GO OUT AND PLAY IN DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES, WHETHER THEY'RE PLAYING ON THE SOCCER FIELD, WHETHER THEY'RE PLAYING ON THE PLAYGROUND. ALL OF THOSE AREAS, DEPENDING ON THE CAMPUS ARE NOT REALLY SECURE.
YOU CAN ACCESS THOSE FROM THE ROAD. THE GOAL HERE IS TO FORCE ANYONE WHO WANTS TO ENTER THAT AREA.
THAT ALLOWS YOU TO GAIN ACCESS INTO THE BUILDING, WHICH THEN ALLOWS YOU TO GAIN ACCESS INTO THE OUTSIDE AREA WHERE OUR STUDENTS ARE RECEIVING THEIR EDUCATION. AND SO THAT'S THE PURPOSE.
WE ARE NOT CONTRARY TO WHAT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT THINK.
WE'RE NOT PUTTING FENCES IN FRONT OF OUR BUILDINGS AND FORCING OUR VISITORS, PARENTS TO COME IN THROUGH A GATE BEFORE YOU GET INTO THE FRONT DOOR.
THAT IS NOT THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT HERE. SO THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE IS AWARE.
I WILL SHARE WITH YOU THAT THERE ARE DISTRICTS THAT ARE DOING THAT.
ONE THAT COMES TO MIND AND YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
IT LOOKS LIKE A PRISON. THERE'S NO WAY AROUND IT.
YOU CAN'T CREATE THAT DECORATIVE FENCE ANY OTHER WAY.
IT LOOKS LIKE A PRISON. THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS PROJECT IS DOING HERE.
WE WANT TO ASSURE THAT OUR COMMUNITY, THAT WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAFE WHILE THEY ARE RECEIVING INSTRUCTION, WHETHER IT'S IN THE BUILDING OR OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING.
OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF FEEL SAFE, AND THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT.
THANK YOU. MR. BEACH. CAN I ASK MY QUESTION NOW ABOUT THE SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL? YES, SIR. YES. THANK YOU. I'VE BEEN ATTENDING A LOT OF GAMES AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER IS A JUNIOR SOFTBALL PLAYER FOR WYLIE EAST.
SO I'VE BEEN TO THEIR FACILITY AND I'VE BEEN TO OURS, AND OURS IS VERY COMPARABLE.
THE ONLY THING I'M CONCERNED ABOUT OR ASKING ABOUT ARE ALL OF OUR SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL BLEACHERS FOR THE PATRONS GOING TO BE CANOPIED? YES, SIR. THEY ARE OKAY. THAT'S ALL I NEED TO KNOW.
JUST SAY YES. YES, SIR. OKAY. THE SECOND THING IS ON WHERE THEY ARE, THE STANDS AND THE BLEACHERS ARE LOCATED FOR THE CANOPIES, FOR THE PLACEMENT OF THE SCOREBOARDS. OUR, DUGOUTS ARE A LOT BETTER THAN WILEY EAST.
SO THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION AND THANK YOU FOR THAT COMMENT.
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR US. AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S ABOUT TWO THINGS FOR OUR BASEBALL FIELDS.
AND PART OF THE THE SPECTATOR EXPERIENCE IS BEING ABLE TO SEE THE SCOREBOARD.
THE LAST THING WE WANT TO DO IS MAKE THIS TYPE OF INVESTMENT AND PUT THESE CANOPIES IN AND PUT THESE BLEACHERS IN, AND YOU CANNOT SEE THE SCOREBOARD. THAT IS NOT A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM.
BECAUSE YOU MAY SAY, WELL, JAVIER, YOU CAN SEE IT IF YOU SIT ON THIS PARTICULAR SEAT.
AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, I WOULD ACTUALLY BE SITTING ON THE SEAT THAT I CAN'T SEE.
WHEN I GO SEE WHEN I WOULD WANT TO GO SEE A GAME.
AND SO THAT'S HOW LUCK WOULD HAVE IT. SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE HAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE, WHETHER YOU'RE ON THE FIELD OR YOU'RE A SPECTATOR.
AND SO THANK YOU FOR FOR BRINGING THAT TO ATTENTION TO OUR ATTENTION.
YES, SIR. AND SO THEY HAVEN'T IMPEDED THE VIEW ON ANY OF THOSE THREE CAMPUSES.
SO THEY'RE TAKING GREAT CARE ON HOW THAT WORKS OUT.
THE INAUGURAL GAME THAT I WENT TO WAS AT THE NORTH GARLAND SOFTBALL FIELD, WHICH IS REALLY STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION, BUT THE FIELD WAS COMPLETED ITSELF FOR THEM TO HAVE THE GAME.
AND OF COURSE, NORTH GARLAND WAS THRILLED TO DEATH THAT THEIR SENIORS ARE GETTING TO PLAY ON THEIR SOFTBALL FIELD. IT WAS BEAUTIFUL. THE ISSUE WAS WHERE I THINK I SAW WHERE THE ELECTRICAL WAS GOING TO BE PLACED FOR THE SCOREBOARD TO BE PLACED, BUT IT COULD BE WHERE THE PLACEMENT OF THE BLEACHERS WERE ALSO.
[00:15:03]
BUT IF YOU WERE UP IN THE TOP CORNER, RIGHT HAND CORNER, THERE'S ABOUT 2 OR 3 SEATS OR AREAS THERE WHERE THE DUGOUT WOULD HAVE BLOCKED IT.SO I THINK IT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE THEY'RE GOING TO NEED TO COME UP A LITTLE CLOSER OR WHATEVER WHERE THAT DESIGN IS FOR THAT AND THOSE CANOPIES BUILT, BECAUSE I WANT EVERYBODY TO HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE, LIKE YOU SAID, WHERE THEY CAN SEE THE, THE SCOREBOARD.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, SIR. WE WILL ADDRESS THAT.
AND YOU ARE CORRECT. SO AND DOCTOR LOPEZ IS ALSO CORRECT.
WE DO HAVE THREE CAMPUSES THAT HAVE THE CANOPIES IN PLACE NOW.
I THINK WHAT TRUSTEE BEACH IS ALLUDING TO HERE IS THAT BECAUSE OF THE WAY WE DID THIS PROJECT, BECAUSE OF OUR DUGOUTS, HOW LARGE THEY ARE. WE'VE ACTUALLY MOVED THE DUGOUTS CLOSER TO HOME PLATE THAN WHAT THEY WERE ORIGINALLY BUILT FOR, SO THERE'S BEEN SOME WORK THAT HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE, AND BECAUSE OF THE DUGOUTS BEING MOVED CLOSER TO THE BLEACHERS AND TO HOME PLATE, THERE POSSIBLY IS A VISUAL IMPAIRMENT THAT WE NEED TO BE AWARE OF.
AND SO THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION.
WE WILL ADDRESS THAT. AND NO, WE WILL NOT HAVE THAT AS PART OF THE PROJECT.
I MEAN, IT WAS, IT'S WONDERFUL. IT'S REALLY WONDERFUL.
I MEAN, BECAUSE IT HAD POURED DOWN RAIN THAT MORNING AND THEY PLAYED SOFTBALL THAT AFTERNOON AT 5:00, SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT. SO THAT'S A GREAT THING.
WE WENT AHEAD. AND WHAT WE'RE DOING THIS TIME, AND GOING FORWARD, WE WOULD INCLUDE A SCHEDULE FOR ALL OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE PROVIDING TO YOU. SO YOU CAN SEE A PROJECT BY PROJECT SCHEDULE.
THIS IS A PROJECT THAT HAS FIVE PHASES IN IT, AND IT TALKS ABOUT THE DESIGN, THE CONSTRUCTION AND THE CLOSE OF THE WORK THAT HAS TO TAKE PLACE FOR EACH ONE OF THESE, ALONG WITH SOME BULLET POINTS OF WHERE WE ARE AT AND HOW WE ARE PROGRESSING FOR EACH ONE OF THESE.
SO A LITTLE DIFFERENT PRESENTATION, BUT I THINK THAT YOU'LL APPRECIATE THE EFFORT THAT'S GONE THROUGH WITH PROVIDING YOU A MORE SHARING MORE INFORMATION WITH YOU AS FAR AS THE SCHEDULE GOES ON THESE OF THESE PROJECTS. SO AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, PHASE ONE IS PROGRESSING.
THE PERCENTAGE OF COMPLETION FOR BRANDENBURG ARMSTRONG ETHERIDGE IS COMPLETE.
JUST TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL OF THESE PROJECTS ARE BEING DONE IN THE EVENING WHEN STUDENTS ARE NOT THERE, BUT SPECIFICALLY THE MARVIN PAGEANT PROJECT. IT HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO BE DONE DURING THE DAY SINCE THERE ARE ADULTS IN THAT FACILITY.
SO THAT WILL BE A PROJECT THAT TAKES PLACE DURING THE DAY, AND YOU CAN SEE THE OTHER CAMPUSES THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE DIFFERENT PHASES AND THE DURATION THAT IT TAKES TO GET THIS WORK COMPLETED.
SECURITY CAMERA REFRESH. IT IS ALSO A FIVE PHASE PROJECT.
AND SO THIS IS OUR SCHEDULE THAT WE WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU ON EACH ONE OF THESE.
OUR ACCESS CONTROL ALSO HAS FIVE PHASES IN IT.
YOU CAN SEE THE DURATIONS OF CONSTRUCTION. THEY VARY FROM EITHER FOUR MONTHS TO EXTENDING OUT TO FOUR, 4 OR 5 MONTHS. SO DEPENDING ON THE WORKLOAD THAT WE HAVE THERE.
THAT'S THE CONSTRUCTION OF YOUR QUESTION THERE ON ACCESS CONTROL.
WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT THE CHANGING OUT OF KEY FOBS AND EVERYTHING THAT TO GET ACCESS INTO THE BUILDING, OR IS THAT JUST WHAT DOES THAT TERM MEAN? THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT QUESTION UP.
TRUSTEE BEACH. SO ACCESS CONTROL FOR US IS A WHAT WE CALL IT IS THE SYSTEM.
THAT'S A THE PROPER DEFINITION IS A CARD KEY ACCESS CONTROL.
SO EVERY DISTRICT EMPLOYEE HAS THEIR DISTRICT BADGE, BUT THEY ALSO HAVE WHAT WE CALL THIS IS A CARD KEY. SO IT'S A WE CALL IT A CARD KEY BECAUSE IT'S A KEY BUT IT'S IN A CARD FASHION.
THIS ALLOWS US TO ACCESS THE BUILDING DEPENDING ON THE READER THAT'S THERE.
THE TYPE OF READER ALLOWS US TO ACCESS INTO CERTAIN AREAS.
ACCESS CONTROL MEANS THAT THE DISTRICT CAN CONTROL THIS CARD READER.
[00:20:01]
THE DISTRICT CAN PROGRAM THIS CARD READER FOR CERTAIN TIME OF DAY.THE NUMBER OF DAYS WHEN I CAN ACCESS CERTAIN SPECIFIC DOORS.
AND SO THAT ALLOWS THE DISTRICT TO BE TO ACTUALLY CONTROL IN A DOOR DOWN TO THE DOOR LEVEL.
WHO CAN ACCESS THAT DOOR. AND WHEN THEY CAN ACCESS THAT DOOR.
SO WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW IS WE'RE DOING TWO THINGS.
WE'VE GOT SOME WE'VE GOT SOME ENHANCEMENTS THAT WE'RE ADDING TO IT.
TO IT. WE'RE ADDING SOME READERS TO SOME CAMPUSES.
THE WHAT WE CALL SERVER TYPES OF MODULES THAT WE'RE ADDING TO THIS.
AND SO IT'S A, IT'S AN ENHANCEMENT TO A LOT OF, TO EVERY ONE OF THESE CAMPUSES THAT YOU SEE THERE.
OUR DOOR HARDWARE AND KEYING. THAT INVOLVES 61 CAMPUSES.
WE'VE STARTED THE WORK OF THE HIGH SCHOOL. WORK IS ACTUALLY ALREADY STARTED.
WANTED TO PUT THAT MAKE THAT NOTE THAT ACCORDING TO THE VENDOR, THAT IT'S ABOUT 8 TO 10 WEEKS UPON RECEIPT OF THE PURCHASE ORDER, THAT THEY WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE THE HARDWARE TO BE ABLE TO INSTALL. IT'S JUST A NOTE THAT WE'RE PUTTING THERE FOR YOU. THE LINDA L GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY.
WE'VE RECEIVED A FINAL CONCEPTS. WE WERE THE CONCEPTS WERE IN DEVELOPMENT.
WE'VE ACTUALLY RECEIVED THOSE FINAL CONCEPTS NOW IN USER MEETINGS.
OKAY. OUR AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE CENTER, OUR CARSON MULKEY AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE CENTER.
I WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT THAT WILL BE LOCATED IN THE CITY OF SACHSE.
THE DESIGN CONCEPTS WERE SELECTED FROM A DESIGN CHARRETTE.
SOUTH GARLAND AND NORTH GARLAND. END USER MEETINGS WITH THE MEP GROUP ARE COMPLETE.
WE ARE VETTING OUT THE WHAT WE CALL SCOPE. WE'RE SCOPING THAT PROJECT OUT.
I WILL TELL YOU SOME CHALLENGES THAT WE ARE HAVING WITH THIS PROJECT, AND WE WILL HAVE WITH THE ROWLETT, SACHSE AND GARLAND, AND THAT IS OUR PROGRAMS FOR DANCE.
OUR DANCE SPACE IS VERY, VERY TIGHT IN THESE CAMPUSES.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS MOVING ALONG NICELY WITH THESE PROJECTS.
OUR HICKMAN NORTH LAKE ROWLETT AND TOLAR PROJECT, WE'VE GOT MULTIPLE CONCEPTS THAT HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND THE ARCHITECT AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK, ARE WORKING THROUGH SOME VARIOUS DESIGN CONCEPTS, AND WE PLAN TO BRING SOME COST ESTIMATES HERE TO YOU VERY SHORTLY.
OKAY. OUR COOPER, HERFURTH AND STEADHAM ELEMENTARY PACKAGE.
WE HAVE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
NOW, OUR FENCING PROJECT FOR OUR 23 CAMPUSES, WHICH IS OUR SEVEN HIGH SCHOOLS, 12 MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND FOUR SPECIAL CAMPUS SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPUSES. WE'VE GOT A SCOPE TO BUDGET THAT'S COMPLETE THERE.
AND THEY'RE DEVELOPING THEIR SCHEMATIC DESIGN SO THAT WE CAN PRESENT THAT TO YOU AS A BOARD.
OKAY. SO WE'VE DONE AGAIN, THIS IS A LITTLE CHANGE IN THE PRESENTATION.
WE WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU THE INTRUSION SYSTEM.
THIS IS THE ALARM. WHAT WE CALL SECURITY ALARM.
PHASE TWO IS THE BEAVER, AND PHASE FIVE IS THE GARLAND AND CARVER.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE DESIGNS AND THE CONSTRUCTION DURATIONS FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE.
[00:25:06]
FACILITY THAT WE HAVE THERE. SO READY TO GET THAT ALMOST STARTED AS FAR AS THE CONSTRUCTION WORK GOES.I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE CALL IT AN ATHLETIC PACKAGE.
WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. HERE'S OUR SCHEDULE THAT YOU SEE THERE, THE WORK THAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE.
I THINK THAT THAT PROJECT AS PEOPLE START GETTING AWARE OF WHAT THIS PROJECT ACTUALLY ENTAILS BECAUSE IT ONLY SAYS ATHLETIC PACKAGE. SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? I THINK OUR, OUR CITIZENRY IS GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY EXCITED WHEN THEY SEE WHAT IS PART OF THIS FOR SOUTH GARLAND, NORTH GARLAND AND LAKEVIEW. WE'RE GOING TO CREATE EVERY SINGLE HIGH SCHOOL WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE THEIR WHAT YOU CALL NON-VARSITY GAMES ON SITE, ON CAMPUS. AND SO THAT'S EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR US WHEN WE SAY NON-VARSITY BECAUSE MOST VARSITY, ALL OF OUR VARSITY TEAMS PLAY OR SAY FOOTBALL VARSITY WILL PLAY AT OUR TWO STADIUMS OR WILLIAMS STADIUM AND HBJ WHEN IT COMES TO SOCCER, YOU CAN HAVE YOUR WE WILL BE ABLE TO SAY WE CAN PROVIDE OUR SOCCER VARSITY SOCCER PROGRAM, CAN ACTUALLY PLAY THEIR GAMES AT THEIR HOME CAMPUS.
HOW EXCITING IS THAT? WHEN THIS PROJECT IS DONE, THEY WILL HAVE LIGHTS.
THEY WILL HAVE LIGHTS, THEY WILL HAVE SOUND SYSTEMS. THEY WILL HAVE ACTUALLY HAVE BLEACHERS FOR THESE CAMPUSES THAT OUR STUDENTS CAN REALLY ADVOCATE.
SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROJECT HERE.
YOU CAN SEE THE SCHEDULE FOR THAT ONE. THAT ONE INCLUDES AUSTIN ACADEMY, HOUSTON ACADEMY, JACKSON TECHNOLOGY, ABBETT AND BRADFIELD. SO A LOT OF WORK IS TAKING PLACE WITH EVERY ONE OF THESE PROJECTS.
EVERY ONE OF THEM HAS A DIFFERENT SCHEDULE THAT WE'RE TRACKING.
AND SO THERE'S JUST A LOT OF WORK TAKING PLACE WITH THE VARIOUS PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE.
THIS IS OUR OTHER ENHANCEMENT PROJECT THAT WE HAVE IN PHASE THREE.
SO WE ARE STILL DOING SCOPE TO BUDGET VALIDATION ON THAT ONE AS WELL.
OUR NEW NETWORK TECHNOLOGY CENTER. SO WE PRESENTED A SCHEMATIC DESIGN TO YOU ON MARCH 11TH.
VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT PROJECT. THAT THAT IS GOING TO BE A FANTASTIC FACILITY ONCE IT'S COMPLETE.
WE ARE DOING SOME REZONING AND PLANNING THAT'S IN PROGRESS WITH THE CITY.
AND OUR PROPOSITION C, THAT PROJECT, THERE IS NO CHANGE FROM LAST MONTH.
THAT SLIDE IS STATED THAT YOU SAW THERE FROM LAST MONTH.
SO THANK YOU. AND I'M HERE TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MAY HAVE.
THANK YOU MR. FERNANDEZ. TRUSTEES ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? MISS GRIFFIN? YES. THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE WE GET PER PROJECT AND THE TIME FRAME. WE'RE ABOUT A YEAR INTO THIS OR A YEAR AND A HALF.
SO. ANY SURPRISES? ANY AND I KNOW DOCTOR LOPEZ OVER THERE LOOKING AT ME.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING? OR HOW IS THE STAFF AND THIS AUGMENTATION IN THIS HYBRID MODEL? ALL OF THIS STUFF THAT WE'VE NEVER DONE BEFORE.
HOW ARE ALL OF THOSE PIECES WORKING TOGETHER? I COULD MAKE AN ASSUMPTION THAT BECAUSE I CAN GET THIS REPORT, BUT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE ACTUALLY OUT THERE DOING THE WORK AND WHAT JUST TELL ME HOW THAT'S GOING. AND AS YOU BEING OUR LEADER WITH THAT, HOW ARE YOU FEELING ABOUT HOW WE ARE PROGRESSING AND ALL
[00:30:02]
OF THAT? OH VERY EXCITED. I THINK WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO BE MOVING THIS PROJECT ALONG.THE OVERALL PROGRAM ITSELF. A LOT OF WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE.
I'VE SHARED WITH I'VE SHARED WITH STAFF. AND WHEN I SAY STAFF, I MEAN THE STAFF THAT'S WORKING ON THE PROJECTS AND OUR CAMPUS STAFF THAT EVERYTHING YOU SEE HERE IS PART OF PHASES ONE, TWO AND THREE.
WE STILL HAVE FOUR AND FIVE THAT WE'RE ABOUT TO RAMP UP.
SO THERE'S A LOT OF MORE DESIGN WORK THAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE.
SO VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. THE I WILL SAY THAT FOR THE COMMUNITY AND I'VE STATED THIS BEFORE PLEASE PARDON OUR DUST, BUT THIS WILL CONTINUE ON FOR THIS SUMMER AND FOR THE NEXT THREE SUMMERS.
SO THERE WILL BE A LOT OF DIRT MOVING. THERE WILL BE DIRT MOVING THIS SUMMER.
THERE'LL BE DIRT MOVING A LOT MORE DIRT MOVING NEXT SUMMER.
SO THIS IS GOING TO CONTINUE ON FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS.
BUT THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE. I THINK EVERYONE'S EXCITED.
A LOT OF EXCITEMENT IS IN THE AIR. I THINK ONCE PEOPLE SEE DIRT TURNING, SO MANY TIMES PEOPLE SAY YOU'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING. THE DESIGN PORTION, THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TAKING PLACE IN DESIGN THAT PEOPLE DON'T SEE.
PEOPLE WANT TO SEE TRACTORS OUT THERE. PEOPLE WANT TO SEE EXCAVATORS OUT THERE MOVING DIRT.
THEY WANT TO SEE WALLS GOING UP. AND THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE CASE WHEN YOU'RE DOING A PROJECT.
IF I WAS TO SHARE WITH YOU, HERE'S OUR OVERALL PROJECT TIMELINE.
SO WE FEEL IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO BE EXTREMELY TRANSPARENT WITH YOU, WITH THE COMMUNITY AND WHATEVER PROJECT THAT THEY HAVE A FOCUS ON OR THEY HAVE AN INTEREST IN, THEY CAN GO TO THIS PRESENTATION AND THEY CAN SEE WHAT THE SCHEDULE IS FOR THAT SPECIFIC PROJECT AND GIVES THEM THE INFORMATION THAT THEY NEED FOR THAT SPECIFIC PROJECT.
IN ADDITION TO THIS, THEY CAN SEE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION IN THE STATUS REPORT THAT WE'RE ACTUALLY NOT SHARING AT THIS POINT, BUT IT IS PART OF THE PRESENTATION. IT IS PART OF THE INFORMATION THAT'S SHARED ON OUR WEB, WHERE THE COMMUNITY CAN GO AND SEE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION SPECIFICALLY TO THAT PROJECT.
SO I REALLY FEEL THAT WE'RE BEING VERY, VERY TRANSPARENT ON THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE.
A LOT OF WORK IS BEING GOING INTO THIS, AND SO I'M EXCITED.
I'M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE. I HOPE OUR COMMUNITY IS EXCITED.
AND SO ONCE REALLY KIMBERLIN AND FREEMAN, ONCE PEOPLE START TO SEE THE DIRT BEING MOVED AND AH WALLS GOING UP, I THINK I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET A LOT OF PEOPLE TO SAY, WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT IS THAT? I HAD NO IDEA THAT THAT IS BEING BUILT. AND I THINK I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET A LOT OF ACCOLADES.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWER. ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS. THANK YOU, MR. FERNANDEZ. WE'LL MOVE TO INFORMATION ITEM B, RECEIVE PRESENTATION ON PHASE TWO.
[IV.B. Receive Presentation on PH2-BP02 Carson-Mulkey Agricultural Science Center Schematic Design – Javier Fernandez]
BID PACKAGE 02, CARSON MULKEY AGRICULTURAL CENTER.AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE CENTER. SCHEMATIC DESIGN.
MR. FERNANDEZ. THANK YOU. OKAY, WELL, REALLY EXCITED TO BRING TO YOU TONIGHT REPRESENTATIVES FROM VLK WHO ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU A PRESENTATION ON OUR NEW AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE CENTER THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING REALLY, REALLY HARD ON.
AND SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN THE PRESENTATION OVER TO REPRESENTATIVE FROM VLK, WHO WILL INTRODUCE HIMSELF AND THEN PRESENT TO YOU THE PRESENTATION. WE ALSO HAVE AN ANIMATION PORTION THAT'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT PROJECT FOR A LOT OF FOLKS IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. AND AS DOCTOR LOPEZ ALLUDED TO AT THE BEGINNING, IT'S THERE'S A LOT OF EYES ON IT, SO. MY NAME IS MARTY SIMS. I'M A PRINCIPAL WITH VLK ARCHITECTS. AND I'M LEADING THE TEAM OF A LOT OF FOLKS WHO ARE WORKING ON Y'ALL'S BEHALF ON THIS IN THIS WORK.
[00:35:02]
AND I'M GOING TO JUMP RIGHT INTO THE PROCESS THAT WE UTILIZED BECAUSE IT WAS A, IT WAS A NEAT PROCESS.SO WE STARTED OUT BY IDENTIFYING KIND OF WHAT THE NEEDS ARE.
LIKE YOU DO ON MOST PROJECTS SETTING OUT A SUMMARY OF SPACES, ADJACENCIES, SQUARE FOOTAGES.
WHAT YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT SIDE, THERE IS A GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATION OF THOSE SPACES.
AND THAT'S IMPORTANT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE ULTIMATELY GAVE THE COMMUNITY DURING A DESIGN CHARRETTE.
IT IS IN SACHSE, TEXAS. IT'S JUST SOUTH OF PLEASANT VALLEY.
AND IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA AND THE MUDDY CREEK PRESERVE THAT'S ADJACENT TO IT.
IT IS A PRETTY NEAT SITE. AS AN ARCHITECT, TO EVALUATE IT BECAUSE THAT THAT AREA IS A PRESERVE.
AND SO WE'RE THE FROM HIGH TO LOW. RIGHT. SO THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF FALL.
THERE'S A LOT OF TOPOGRAPHY A NICE FEATURES OF THAT SITE.
THERE ARE TREES THERE. WE'VE BEEN OUT TAKING A LOOK AT IT.
LOTS JUST TO GET A FEEL FOR WHAT'S THERE. AND WE'VE LOOKED AT SETTING THE BUILDING OR SITING THE BUILDING ON THE HIGH END OF THE SITE CLOSEST TO PLEASANT VALLEY AND LEAVING ROOM FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO, TO DEVELOP IN THE FUTURE.
THE REMAINING ACRES, YOU CERTAINLY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO SO.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE DESIGN CHARRETTE, AND I'M GOING TO GO INTO JUST A LITTLE BIT OF DETAIL.
WE ASKED THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO, TO IDENTIFY, YOU KNOW, 40 TO 50 STAKEHOLDERS, INCLUDING TEACHERS, STUDENTS ADMINISTRATORS, STAFF, COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THEN ASK THEM TO COME OUT AND SPEND AN EVENING WITH US.
AND DIVIDED THEM UP INTO FOUR TEAMS, GAVE THEM SOME PARAMETERS AROUND HOW THEY MIGHT SET PRIORITIES FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, GAVE THEM A SITE BOARD. AND OF THOSE FOUR TEAMS, THEY, THEY DEVELOPED FOUR SEPARATE CONCEPTS PRESENTED TO EACH OTHER AND DECIDED ON WHO WON BEST, THE BEST OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT. FROM THAT, WE DEVELOPED A NUMBER OF OPTIONS.
SO I'VE TRIED TO SHOW KIND OF THE BIG IDEAS FOR EACH OF THESE HERE, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO THE NITTY GRITTY FOR EACH ONE, BUT THAT REPRESENTS KIND OF THE MESSY THING THAT WAS PRODUCED FOR EACH ONE.
AND THEN ULTIMATELY WHAT WE DERIVE FROM IT. SO WE TOOK THE TOP TWO CONCEPTS AND DEVELOPED THEM FURTHER, PRESENTED THEM BACK TO THE GROUP, AND RECEIVED FEEDBACK ON THAT.
FROM THAT, WE DEVELOPED A CLEAR THE CLEAR WINNER AND CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THAT.
SO YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE BIG IDEAS THAT WERE COMING IN MANY CASES.
AND, YOU KNOW, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, THE CENTRALIZED SHOW ARENA WAS IMPORTANT.
SO THESE ARE COMMON THEMES THAT WE WERE SEEING ACROSS ALL OF THESE CONCEPTS.
AGAIN, THIS IS THE TEAM HIGH STAKES. SO THEY CAME UP WITH SOME GREAT NAMES.
STEAK, LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU EAT. SO THE SOME OF THE CONCEPTS AGAIN, FAB FOUR HERE.
SO YOU COULD TAKE A TRAILER THROUGH WHICH WAS A NEAT CONCEPT THAT WE THAT KIND OF CAME LATER IN THE DESIGN PROCESS, BUT BASED ON THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED AND THIS PARTICULAR PLAN LEND ITSELF TO THAT PRETTY WELL.
SO SWINE, SHEEP AND GOATS TO THE WEST, AND THEN THE MORE CONDITIONED SPACE OR SEMI CONDITIONED SPACE TO THE EAST WITH THE KIND OF A MEETING SPACE AND POTENTIALLY LAB SPACE, RABBITS AND POULTRY WITH, WITH SOME COVERED STORAGE AND THEN A FLEXIBLE AREA IN THE CENTER.
SO THE IDEA IS THAT THE SPACE COULD BE RECONFIGURED AT WILL AND IT COULD WORK IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CAPACITIES FOR YOU, IN ADDITION TO JUST TO THE SHOW ARENA CAPACITY.
SO. SO FROM THERE, WE MOVED INTO THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN.
BUT THIS IS THE FURTHER DEVELOPED SCHEMATIC DESIGN SITE PLAN HERE.
AND SO YOU SEE PLEASANT VALLEY HERE TO THE TOP OF YOUR PAGE. AS I INDICATED, WE'VE, SITED THE BUILDING UP ON THE TOP OF THE HILL WITH A GOOD PRESENCE TO PLEASANT VALLEY. THERE'S HOMES JUST TO THE NORTH OF US AND TO THE, TO THE WEST OF US.
AND WE WANT TO BE COGNIZANT OF THOSE NEIGHBORS AND BE GOOD NEIGHBORS FOR THEM. AND I THINK YOU WILL SEE SOME REFLECTED MATERIALS FROM SOME OF THOSE FROM THAT SITE CONTEXT IN THE BUILDING THAT WE'RE PROPOSING.
WE'VE GOT SITE CIRCULATION IN AND OUT OFF OF PLEASANT VALLEY.
SERVICE KIND OF AROUND THE SIDES OF THE BUILDING.
AND THEN WHAT YOU'LL NOTICE HERE IS, IS THE BUILDING IS, IS ACTUALLY DIVIDED NOW INTO, INTO THREE SEPARATE BUILDINGS WITH THE SHOW BUILDING AND THE SEMI CONDITIONED SPACE WITH THE AND THE BARNS SEPARATE.
[00:40:04]
THIS IS A FLOOR PLAN OF THOSE SPACES. AND SO YOU SEE THE SHOW AREA IN THE CENTER.THERE IS CONCESSIONS AND SUPPORT SPACES. THE IDEA IS THAT THE FENCES HERE WOULD BE RECONFIGURABLE.
SO THAT COULD BE RESIZED AS APPROPRIATE FOR THE FOR THE EVENT THAT'S TAKING PLACE.
YOU'LL NOTICE SOME BLEACHERS ON EITHER SIDE. AGAIN, WE'VE GOT THE WORKSHOP AND MEETING SPACES WHICH WOULD BE CONDITIONED AND SEMI CONDITIONED, AS WELL AS A RABBIT AND POULTRY UP TO THE EAST, AND THE AND THEN THE ANIMAL BARNS SEPARATELY, BUT ADJACENT WITH COVERED AREAS IN BETWEEN TO ACCESS THE SHOW AREAS.
AND HERE WE HAVE WHAT THIS MIGHT START TO LOOK LIKE.
AND SO RECOGNIZING THAT WE WANT TO GRAB SOME OF THE LANGUAGE FROM THE HOMES AROUND THERE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, WHAT IS COMMONLY A RANCH STYLE KIND OF AN ENTRY HERE WITH GATES, AND THEN YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE NATURAL STONE AND METAL PANEL ON THE BUILDING ITSELF.
AND I THINK IT WORKS WELL TO PULL SOME OF THE SOME OF THE MATERIALS THAT WE'RE COMMONLY FINDING ON SOME OF THOSE, SOME OF THOSE HOMES AROUND THERE AS SITE CONTEXT.
SO THIS IS THE FRONT DOOR. YOU HAVE A LOBBY INTO THE SHOW ARENA.
WE'RE EVALUATING DIFFERENT OPTIONS AS FAR AS A METAL PANEL THAT LOOKS LIKE WOOD TO GIVE IT KIND OF A FEEL OF A, OF A RANCH STYLE FEEL THAT'S KIND OF APPROPRIATE FOR THE FACILITY.
AND SO THIS, THIS WOULD BE CONFIGURED FOR, FOR A TYPICAL SHOW WITH A, WITH THE AUCTIONEER PODIUM ON YOUR LEFT AND YOU'LL SEE THERE'S SOME, SOME OPEN AREAS AND THEN WE'LL BE NATURALLY VENTILATING THIS WITH FANS TO GET SOME AIR MOVEMENT TO KEEP THE SPACE SEMI FAIRLY COMFORTABLE? AGAIN, THIS IS SOME JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF RENDERINGS OF THE INDIVIDUAL SPACES, THE FIRE LANE ACCESS BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS AND SOME OF THE DIFFERENT BARNS.
AND IF WE COULD SHOW THE ANIMATION.
ROBERT. FANTASTIC. SO YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING WHAT THE COST IS. WE'RE RIGHT AT OR JUST SHY OF THE BUDGET CURRENTLY.
WE'VE ENGAGED YOUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER, LEE LEWIS, TO CONDUCT AN ESTIMATE FOR US.
AND SO, YOU KNOW THAT I THINK PROBABLY ANY PROJECT THAT'S DONE TODAY IS, YOU KNOW, THE BUDGET IS ALWAYS SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE KEEPING AN EYE ON, BUT WE'RE KEEPING IT, SO WE'RE KEEPING AN EYE ON IT. THIS IS JUST THE DETAILED COST BREAKDOWN AS IT CURRENTLY STANDS.
[00:45:01]
I KNOW YOU CAN'T READ THAT, BUT IT'S PROVIDED IF YOU WANT TO DIG INTO ANY OF THE DETAILS THERE.BUT KEEP IN MIND IT'S A CONCEPTUAL ESTIMATE AT THIS POINT.
SO FROM THERE WE WILL, YOU KNOW, WITH YOUR APPROVAL, ASSUMING THAT YOU GUYS YOU KNOW, AUTHORIZE US TO MOVE FORWARD, THE GOAL WOULD BE TO MOVE INTO DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND ULTIMATELY BID THIS PROJECT. WITH THE GOAL OF 2027 FACILITY OPEN. WE'RE THINKING AT THIS POINT, ABOUT 16 MONTHS OF CONSTRUCTION, ALTHOUGH THAT'S A LITTLE FLEXIBLE.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GIVE THEM ENOUGH TIME, BUT NOT TOO MUCH TIME.
I HOPE WE WON'T PARK THEM OUT FRONT IN FRONT OF THAT BEAUTIFUL BUILDING, BECAUSE THAT'S AN EYESORE.
BUT I'M HOPING THAT THEY HAVE A PLACE FOR THAT.
IF YOU SEE THE GRAY TRIANGULAR SPACE KIND OF ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE BUILDING HERE, THAT'S THE IDEA, IS THAT THEY WOULD PARK THEM OVER HERE. YES. AND WE'VE ACTUALLY MEASURED WE'VE GOTTEN THEY'VE PROVIDED US KIND ENOUGH TO PROVIDE MEASUREMENTS OF ALL OF THE CURRENT TRAILERS AND THE TRACTOR THAT THEY HAVE OUT THERE, AND WE'VE TRIED TO ACCOMMODATE THAT WITH A LITTLE COVERED AREA AS WELL OUT IN THAT SPACE.
THAT WOULD ALSO BE WHERE IF YOU'RE HAVING A SHOW, YOU'LL HAVE A NUMBER OF TRAILERS COMING FROM ELSEWHERE THAT COULD BE PARKED IN THAT AREA AS WELL. ALSO, IN THIS SCHEMATIC DESIGN, I DID NOT SEE ANY THING TO HELP.
IS THAT NOT A? NO, THAT WAS NEVER PART OF THE PROJECT SCOPE.
NEVER WAS. NO. OKAY. THOUGHT IT WAS. THAT'S MY BAD, I GUESS THERE.
AND LET ME THINK WHAT ELSE I HAD. I'LL THINK OF SOMETHING IN A FEW MINUTES.
THANK YOU. YES, SIR. ABSOLUTELY. MR. MILLER? YEAH.
THANK YOU. JUST REAL QUICK. MINE ARE KIND OF SIMILAR.
WHAT'S THE. I MAY HAVE MISSED IT, BUT WHAT'S THE SEATING CAPACITY INSIDE? WE'RE LOOKING AT 600 RIGHT NOW, SO 300 ON EACH SIDE.
GREAT. AND THEN THERE'S ENOUGH PARKING FOR THAT KIND OF CROWD.
YES. THE CODE WOULD REQUIRE A NUMBER OF PARKING TO PERSON RATIO, AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM, WHETHER THAT'S A THREE TO WE'LL BE WORKING WITH THE TOWN OF SACHSE ON WHETHER IT'S A 3 TO 1 OR A 4 TO 1 RATIO, BUT WE'LL BE PROVIDING ENOUGH. SO EVERYBODY CAN PARK ON PAVEMENT.
ABSOLUTELY. THERE'S PLENTY OF LAND IN THAT AREA.
I MEAN, HISTORICALLY THE AG SHOW HAS ALWAYS ACCOMMODATED WITH SOME KIND OF THUNDERSTORMS AND RAIN.
SO IT MAKES IT FOR A SLOG IN THE MUD. AND SO THIS IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS WITH ENOUGH PARKING SPACE, TURNAROUND SPACE FOR THE TRAILERS AND THE CAPACITY WITHIN THE WITHIN THE AUDITORIUM OR THE ARENA, LET'S CALL IT. I THINK THAT SHOULD WORK. DID YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THAT FROM YOUR STEERING COMMITTEE WITH REGARD TO THE ARENA SPECIFICALLY? YEAH, THE ARENA AND THE CAPACITY.
I THINK EVERYBODY WAS THRILLED FOR THE FOR BOTH THE CAPACITY AND THE SIZE OF THE ARENA.
YOU KNOW, AND THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION AROUND, YOU KNOW, WHAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE YOUR NEIGHBORS HAVE AND HOW DOES IT COMPARE. AND YOU'RE A MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I DON'T THINK IT PUTS YOU AS AN OUTLIER IN EITHER DIRECTION, WHICH IS A NICE PLACE TO BE.
SO IT'S A I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY FUNCTIONAL SPACE FOR YOU.
OKAY. THANK YOU. MISTER GLICK. I'M SORRY. CAN I FINISH MY OTHER QUESTION? SURE. COME UP WITH. ONE IS I'M LOOKING AT THE ARENA AREA AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT.
AND I'M SURE THAT MISTER CISCO WAS PROBABLY INVOLVED IN IT.
ON WHERE THE STAGING AREA WILL BE FOR THE ANIMALS WHENEVER THEY DO COME IN FOR PARTICULAR SHOWS OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE, SO THAT THEY'RE READY TO COME IN THERE. AND I GUESS TO ADD TO THAT, I KNOW THAT WITH THIS FACILITY BEING BUILT, I GUARANTEE YOU THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF PEOPLE WANT TO DO REGIONAL SHOWS AND THAT TYPE OF THING HERE NOW.
AND MY CONCERN WITH THAT WAS WHEN THEY BRING THEIR ANIMALS IN, WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO BE PLACING THOSE ANIMALS TO WITH THIS NEW FACILITY? ABSOLUTELY. SO ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS ABOUT BEING ABLE TO RECONFIGURE THE FENCING, ESSENTIALLY, WE'VE GOT A BIG OPEN SPACE WITH THE BLEACHERS ON EITHER SIDE. AND WE HAVE FLEXIBILITY WITH HOW WE WITH REGARD TO HOW WE CAN ARRANGE THAT.
WHAT YOU HAVE IS, IS, IS ONE SUGGESTED ARRANGEMENT, BUT IT COULD BE DEPENDING ON THE SIZE AND SCALE OF THE, OF THE SHOW, THE TYPES OF ANIMALS THAT YOU MAY BE DISPLAYING OR AUCTIONING. YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO SIZE THAT UP OR DOWN ACCORDINGLY.
WE ARE SUGGESTING A STAGING AREA TO THE RIGHT THERE.
AND AN ANIMAL HOLDING AREA THAT'S QUITE, QUITE LARGE RELATIVE TO WHAT WE WOULD TYPICALLY SEE NOW.
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR EVERY OPPORTUNITY THAT YOU MAY HAVE. AND SO THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO RECONFIGURE SOME OF THOSE FENCING CONFIGURATIONS TO ACCOMMODATE A LARGER OR SMALLER AREA BASED ON YOUR NEEDS.
PORTABLE FENCING TYPE STUFF. YES, SIR. OKAY. MR.
[00:50:04]
GLICK. THANK YOU. MANY YEARS AGO, MR. BEACH AND MYSELF AND DISTRICT STAFF MADE A TOUR.WE WENT TO MANSFIELD AND WE WENT TO NORTHEAST.
THE ONE OVER BY THE RACETRACK? YES, SIR. DID YOU VISIT ANY EXISTING AG CENTERS? AND IS THIS MODELED AFTER ANY OF THOSE? SO YOU KNOW, I WILL SAY THAT THE THERE'S A PROJECT IN KATY THAT HAS WON SOME AWARDS BEEN ON, YOU KNOW, THAT HAPPENS TO BE ONE THAT WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH BECAUSE WE DESIGNED IT. SO I WAS MOST FAMILIAR WITH THAT. AND THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN REFERENCED DURING THE DESIGN.
THEY DO HAVE A RATHER LARGE ARENA THAT'S NOT WITHIN THE SCOPE OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE.
THEY HAVE A SEPARATE SHOW ARENA THAT IS MORE COMPARABLE TO WHAT YOU HAVE GOING ON.
AND THEY BUILT THEIR BARNS OVER A PERIOD OF TIME AND HAVE ADDED ADDITIONAL BARNS.
SO THE SCALE IS A LITTLE LARGER. BUT LONG STORY SHORT, THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION AROUND THAT AS A POTENTIAL IF WE WERE TO LOOK TO SOMETHING FOR INSPIRATION, SAY BUT WE'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE OTHER ONES AS WELL.
AND WE'VE LOOKED AT CASE STUDIES ACROSS THE, ACROSS THE VARIOUS ONES, NOT JUST ONES THAT WERE DESIGNED BY VLK, BUT ONES THAT WERE DESIGNED BY OTHER ARCHITECTS AS WELL, TRYING TO DEVELOP BEST PRACTICES AND BRING FORWARD OPPORTUNITIES THAT MAKE SENSE FOR YOU GUYS.
BUT THEN MOST IMPORTANTLY, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE USERS FEEDBACK AND MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE ACCOMMODATING THEIR NEEDS, BECAUSE YOU'LL FIND IN THESE AGRICULTURAL FACILITIES THERE'S A LOT OF OPINIONS ON OPINIONS ON THE BEST WAY TO DO THINGS.
AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE FOLLOWING THE RIGHT OPINION ON THE BEST WAY TO DO THINGS.
AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DOING SOMETHING THAT BOTH MEETS KIND OF A BEST PRACTICE.
AND YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS FOR GARLAND ISD. THANK YOU.
YES, SIR. MR. BEACH. A COUPLE MORE QUESTIONS.
I'M PRETTY ACTIVE IN AG MYSELF WATCHING THIS.
CAN YOU SHOW ME ON THE SLIDE THERE TO WHERE THE WASHING BAYS WOULD BE FOR THE ANIMALS.
YES, SIR. SO IF YOU SEE THE GRAY AREAS, THE WASH AND TRIM ARE TYPICALLY IN THE GRAY AREAS.
THOSE ARE KIND OF A CINDER BLOCK, LOW WALLS THAT YOU SAW IN THE ANIMATION.
AND THEY ARE AT THE END ON THE CATTLE AREA. AND THAT WAS BASED ON FEEDBACK.
SO THEY'RE SEPARATED FOR THE DIFFERENT ANIMALS. YES, YES.
AND THE OTHER THING IS, IS THERE AN AREA FOR THE VETERINARY TO COME IN IF THERE'S WHEN ANIMALS NEED TO BE TREATED? SO THE THAT COULD HAPPEN IN THE ARENA. OR THAT COULD THERE IS ALSO EXERCISE PENS WHICH KEEP IN MIND WE'RE TALKING FLEXIBLE SPACE.
SO THE GREEN AREAS ARE FOR EXERCISING THE ANIMALS.
AND SO YOU HAVE A MULTIFUNCTION SPACE AREA WHERE IT COULD BE A QUARANTINE AREA, OR YOU COULD USE THE STAGING AREA IN THE ARENA AS A QUARANTINE AREA AS YOU RECEIVE ANIMALS AS WELL. AND THE FILTRATION SYSTEM, AS FAR AS THESE WILL YOU BE ABLE TO OPEN ENDS OR WHATEVER TO? SO UNDERSTAND THAT VENTILATION IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT, ESPECIALLY WITH PIGS. WE'RE VERY MUCH LOOKING AT HOW WE ARE GOING TO CREATE THE AIR TURNAROUND THAT WE NEED FOR THAT. YES, IT WILL BE A COMBINATION OF LOUVERS AND OPENINGS AND ACTIVE FANS AS WELL TO PULL THAT AIR OUT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE HAVING THE CIRCULATION THAT WE NEED. IS THE RUNOFF GOING TO MUDDY CREEK OR WHERE IS IT GOING? WELL, THAT'S DOWNHILL. AND SO, YOU KNOW, I EXPECT THAT WE WILL BE WE WILL NEED TO DIVERT SOME PORTION OF IT, ESPECIALLY THINGS THAT MIGHT BE, YOU KNOW, ENCOUNTER THINGS LIKE MANURE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
EXACTLY. SO IT'S TO BE DETERMINED. THANK YOU.
AND SO I WAS JUST. WHERE ARE YOU GUYS FACTORING THAT IN? IS THAT GOING TO BE PER PEN, OR IS THAT GOING TO BE JUST SORT OF STRATEGICALLY PLACED AROUND THE FACILITY? SO IN MOST CASES THE PENS ARE GENERALLY ARE GENERALLY DIRT.
THE PIGS ARE THE EXCEPTION, AND SO WE TYPICALLY DO A TRENCH DRAIN DOWN THE CENTER WALKWAY OF THE PIGS, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF THE BEST OPTION THAT WE FOUND.
IT'S NOT A PERFECT OPTION BECAUSE IT CAN CLOG IF IT'S ALLOWED TO FILL WITH DEBRIS.
BUT THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR, IN YOUR NEWER PORTION OF THE PIG AREA CURRENTLY.
AND SO IT'S A COMBINATION OF SURFACE DRAINAGE AND COLLECTION WITHIN THE INSIDE THE FACILITY, WE'LL HAVE AREA DRAINS. THEY'RE STRATEGICALLY LOCATED AROUND THE WALKWAYS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
WE CAN'T HAVE THEM SLIPPING AND DAMAGING THEMSELVES.
IT'S THAT'S SOMETHING WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SURFACE WE PROVIDE IS ACCEPTABLE FOR THAT.
SO AS FAR AS THE PENS GO WILL THE FLOORING BE SLOPED IN ANY WAY TO GET TO THE DRAINS? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S I MEAN, SO TYPICALLY WE'LL SLOPE IT, YOU KNOW, TOWARDS TO DRAIN TOWARDS THE DRAIN, AND THE INSTANCES WHERE IT'S A DRAIN AND THE INSTANCES WHERE IT'S DRAINING TO THE EXTERIOR, IT WOULD SLOPE, YOU KNOW, OUT TO THE EXTERIOR. AND THERE'S TYPICALLY IT'S CHANGED PERIODICALLY, YOU KNOW, SO AS IT GETS AS IT GETS DIRTY, THEY WOULD TAKE IT AWAY.
AND TYPICALLY HOW MUCH OF A SLOPE IS THAT? IS THAT LIKE TWO INCH OR AN INCH AND A HALF? I MEAN YOU'RE USUALLY LOOKING AT SO IF IT'S IN A WALKWAY IT'S YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A WHEELCHAIR ACROSS IT,
[00:55:03]
SO IT CAN'T BE GREATER THAN 2%. SO BUT BEYOND THAT AREAS OUTSIDE OF A WALKWAY OR A PATH OF EGRESS, IT WOULD BE STEEPER AS MUCH AS A QUARTER INCH PER FOOT, DEPENDING ON THE ANIMALS THAT ARE WALKING ON IT AND THE ACCESS REQUIRED.IN FACT, MY FIRST TIME GOING TO AN ACT SHOW WAS JUST RECENTLY AT THE ONES THAT WE HAD.
AND SO IT WAS REALLY COOL TO GET A CHANCE TO TALK TO SOME STUDENTS AND SOME PEOPLE OUT THERE ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS. AND ONE QUESTION THAT CAME TO MIND WAS LIKE VENTILATION WITH THIS PARTICULAR FACILITY. I MEAN, OUT THERE, WHAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IS KIND OF WIDE OPEN.
BUT FOR THIS I'M SEEING LIKE LOTS OF WALLS AND WHATNOT.
SO I WAS JUST CURIOUS WHERE THE ANIMALS WOULD BE HOUSED, HOW MUCH AIRFLOW WILL BE PRESENT FOR THEM TO KIND OF HAVE SOME VENTILATION AND GOOD AIRFLOW? YEAH, THAT'S A THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. AND IT DEPENDS ON THE ANIMAL. AND THERE ARE BEST PRACTICES WITH REGARD TO DIFFERENT ANIMALS. AND SO, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SOME THAT REQUIRE A TIGHTER RANGE OF TEMPERATURE CONTROL.
THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES WITH HUMIDITY AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT ARE IMPORTANT. AND SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS ARE FACTORED INTO THE INDIVIDUAL AREAS. AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE WITHIN THOSE PARAMETERS. SO YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE AREAS THAT ARE MORE CLOSED WITH HIGHER VENTILATION FOR SAY, THE PIGS. RIGHT. WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY REQUIRE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TURNOVER OF AIR TO KEEP POTENTIAL, JUST TO KEEP THINGS FROM COMMUNICATIVE TYPE DISEASES FROM DEVELOPING.
RIGHT. AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TURNING THAT AIR AROUND AND EXHAUSTING IT ACCORDINGLY.
THE CATTLE SEEM TO LIKE THE COLD. THEY THEY LIKE TO BE.
THEY SEEM TO WANT TO HAVE A LITTLE MORE EXPOSURE, POTENTIALLY.
NOW WE'RE A LITTLE BIT EARLY TO SAY 100% FOR SURE WHAT THE SYSTEM IS.
BUT WE WOULD LOOK AT RIGHT NOW, WE'RE LOOKING AT A RADIANT HEAT SYSTEM TO KEEP THINGS ABOVE, ABOVE FREEZING WITHIN THE PARAMETERS THAT WE NEED. AND WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT AREAS THAT EITHER OPEN UP THEIR LOUVERS AND CREATING KIND OF A PASSIVE VENTILATION RIGHT THROUGH KIND OF A THERMAL COLUMN OF HEAT.
AND IN A COMBINATION OF THAT WITH, WITH SUPPLEMENTAL FANS TO, TO ACCOMMODATE THE AIR MOVEMENT.
SO YOU MENTIONED, I GUESS ON ONE OF THESE SLIDES WHERE YOU SHOW PREVAILING WINDS AND WINTER WINDS.
YES. ARE WE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THAT? ABSOLUTELY.
RIGHT. SO WE HAVE TO KIND OF LOOK AT THERE'S NOT A YOU CAN'T RECONFIGURE YOUR BUILDING NECESSARILY FOR, YOU KNOW, EACH SEASON. SO WE HAVE TO FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKS ACROSS SEASONS AS FAR AS THE BEST OPPORTUNITY.
WE CAN RUN THAT THROUGH AND LOOK AT THINGS LIKE PREVAILING WINDS AND SOLAR ANGLES AND THOSE TYPES, ALL OF THOSE TYPE OF THINGS AS WELL, AND CERTAINLY HAVE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.
AND WITH THE CATTLE PENS, ARE THERE WALLS THERE? SO THE CATTLE IS GENERALLY OPEN. THERE ARE WALLS TOWARDS THE CENTER.
IN SOME CASES WE FIND WHERE THEY WANT SOME FLEXIBILITY THERE, WHERE, YOU KNOW, IF THERE IS A PREVAILING WIND, WE WOULD LOOK AT CREATING SOMETHING THAT COULD OPEN AND CLOSE TO SHIELD THAT.
SO YOU MAY CLOSE IT IN THE WINTER AND OPEN IT IN THE SUMMER. BUT AGAIN, WE'RE, WE'RE CONTINUING TO KIND OF WORK THROUGH THOSE, THOSE OPTIONS AS WE GET INTO THE DESIGN DEVELOPMENT THAT WILL BE FURTHER REFINED.
AND LIKE THE ARENA AND THE SHOW ARENA, IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S TYPICALLY IT'S DIRT.
AND THEY'VE EVEN TALKED ABOUT POTENTIALLY TREATING IT WITH A, THERE'S A COTTONSEED OIL, I BELIEVE THAT KEEPS THE DUST DOWN, WHICH WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS. AND SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
SO THE WAY YOU GUYS CURRENTLY HAVE THIS DESIGN, DOES IT MITIGATE THAT OR? SO WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO HAVE THE GOATS WITH DIRECT ACCESS TO ACCESS TO THE EXTERIOR WHERE POSSIBLE, BECAUSE GIVING THEM ACCESS TO THE SUN IS IMPORTANT IN THEIR PIGMENTATION DEVELOPMENT.
SO WE HAVE TO PROVIDE A BALANCE THERE. AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT POTENTIALLY OVERHANGS.
THAT'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT'S COME UP RECENTLY ON ANOTHER AG FACILITY THAT WE'RE WORKING ON. AND SO WE'RE GOING TO ASK THE QUESTION AROUND, YOU KNOW WHAT'S MOST APPROPRIATE THERE. YOU KNOW, DO WE WANT TO LOOK AT A LOOK AT AN OVERHANG ALONG THE PERIMETER THAT MIGHT PROVIDE A LITTLE MORE SHELTER FROM WIND DRIVEN RAIN TO KEEP THEM UNDER A DRY, A DRY AREA FOR THEIR PENS AND STILL HAVE YOUR EXTERIOR ACCESS THAT THEY'VE ASKED FOR.
SO THE EXTERIOR ACCESS MAKES IT SO THAT THEY DON'T DEVELOP FUNGAL INFECTIONS.
AND SO THAT'S PART OF, YOU KNOW, YOU WANT A BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL TO SHOW, RIGHT.
SO YOU'VE GOT TO GET ACCESS TO THE SUN IN ORDER FOR THAT ANIMAL TO DEVELOP TO ITS, TO ITS BEAUTY.
[01:00:03]
AND WITH THE STUDENTS WORKING IN THESE VARIOUS SPACES HOW MUCH OR WHAT WAS THE THOUGHT BEHIND MAYBE ADDITIONAL OUTLETS TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THEY HAD THINGS THAT THEY CAN PLUG INTO IF THEY NEEDED TO WORK.I KNOW THAT THERE'S, YOU KNOW, WATER GOING TO BE AROUND, SO THERE'S A SAFETY COMPONENT THERE. SO I'M JUST CURIOUS. CERTAINLY, YOU SEE A LOT OF SUPPLEMENTAL THINGS BROUGHT IN OFTEN. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE A BETTER INFRASTRUCTURE IN GENERAL THAT THAT SO THAT LESS SUPPLEMENTATION FROM WITH REGARD TO HEATERS AND FANS THAT THE KIDS MIGHT BRING IN ARE REQUIRED. BUT THERE'S STILL GOING TO BE PROBABLY SOME THAT WANT TO DO THAT.
WE'VE TALKED ABOUT PROVIDING, YOU KNOW, A QUAD OUTLET FOR EVERY FOUR PINS IN THE CADDELL AREA.
THAT'S KIND OF A CENTRALLY LOCATED. SO IF YOU IMAGINE FOUR IN THE CENTER RIGHT, THAT WE'D HAVE ONE THAT COMES DOWN FROM THE CEILING AND THEY CAN PLUG IN THERE. BUT PROVIDING PLENTY OF POWER FOR ANYTHING THAT THEY NEED ALONG THE WAY.
AND THEN THERE'S SPECIFIC POWER REQUIREMENTS FOR LIKE THE DRYERS, THERE ARE HIGHER VOLTAGE, REQUIRE MORE POWER THAN JUST YOUR AVERAGE COURTESY POWER.
AND SO WE'RE MAKING SURE TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE AS WELL. YOU MIGHT HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS, BUT AS FAR AS LIGHTING GOES IT'S GOING TO BE LED LIGHTING? YES, SIR. WE'RE LOOKING AT LED LIGHTING. WE HAVEN'T SPECIFIED THE FIXTURE YET, BUT AND KIND OF WHAT YOU SAW IN THE ANIMATION WAS MORE OF A PLACEHOLDER, BUT WE WOULD BE LOOKING AT LED LIGHTING FOR SURE.
OKAY. AND ONE LAST QUESTION. ACTUALLY MAYBE TWO, WHERE YOU HAVE THE WASH AND TRIM AREAS.
I WAS JUST CURIOUS WHY YOU SEPARATED THEM INSTEAD OF HAVING A ONE BIG WASH AREA AND ONE BIG TRIM AREA, YOU SEPARATED THEM. YEAH. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THEY'RE WHEN THEY COME IN FOR SHOWS THAT YOU MAY HAVE TWO DIFFERENT SCHOOLS OR OTHER, YOU KNOW, TWO DIFFERENT GROUPS USING THEM. AND SO THAT ALLOWS YOU TO HAVE THEM SEPARATED POTENTIALLY. AND IT JUST GIVES YOU SOME FLEXIBILITY TO HAVE THEM SET UP, YOU KNOW, TO ALLOW FOR MULTIPLE USE. OKAY. AND THEN THE LAST QUESTION IS WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT VENTILATION BEFORE WITH THE CATTLE PENS, HAVING THAT FEED AREA AND THE STORAGE AREA TOWARDS THE BACKSIDE OF THAT, DO YOU THINK THAT THAT WOULD OBSTRUCT ANY OF THE AIRFLOW THAT POTENTIALLY MIGHT BE AVAILABLE TO THE CATTLE? SO THE IDEA IS WE CAN OPEN IT UP ABOVE THOSE SPACES TO ACCOMMODATE THAT AIRFLOW, BUT IT ALLOWS FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING OF TRAILERS TOWARDS THE PERIMETER OF THE BUILDING, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT WE WERE TRYING TO ACCOMMODATE AND THAT THE HEIGHT OF THE SPACE WILL STILL ALLOW AIRFLOW THROUGH THERE. OKAY, COOL.
YES. MR. BEACH. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS PRESENTATION AND ALL THE ANSWERS HERE TODAY.
I'M CURIOUS, ARE THE PINS FOR THE CATTLE, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE AISLE, IN OTHER WORDS, WILL THERE BE PLACES FOR THE ANIMALS HERE WITH AN OWL IN BETWEEN AND THEN PINS OVER HERE SO THE STUDENTS MAY MOVE IN BETWEEN? YEAH. SO, YOU KNOW, KEEPING IN MIND THAT WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE A FLEXIBLE ARRANGEMENT OF PINS.
THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS DEPENDENT ON HOW THE PINS ARE CONFIGURED. AND SO WHAT WE'VE TRIED TO ACCOMMODATE IS THE NUMBER OF SQUARE FOOTAGE PER COW THAT WE, THAT WE NEED. BUT IT DEPENDS ON HOW YOU WANT TO CONFIGURE THE PINS.
AND SO WE HAVE SOME FLEXIBILITY WITH THAT. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A, IF THERE'S A I MEAN, RIGHT NOW WE'RE SUGGESTING ACCESS ALONG THE PERIMETER AND ACCESS IN THE CENTER.
BUT THE IDEA IS IF THAT'S IF THEY WANT TO DO IT A LITTLE DIFFERENT, THEY COULD CERTAINLY RECONFIGURE IT ACCORDINGLY. AND THE REASON I ASK THAT IS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THE STUDENTS, ALL OF THEM PUT A STORAGE BOX IN WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO ACCOMMODATE OR PUT THOSE SO THAT THEY CAN STORE THEIR BRUSHES AND EVERYTHING THAT THEY NEED TO ACCOMMODATE FOR THEIR CATTLE, THE COVERS ON THEM AND EVERYTHING ELSE, AND ALSO THE FEEDING TROUGHS AND, YOU KNOW, ARE THEY JUST GOING TO THROW DOWN A BUCKET AND HERE IT GOES. IT DUMPS OVER IN THERE AND YOU GOT A BIG MESS ON YOUR HAND.
I MEAN, THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE A STATE OF THE ART ONE TIME SHOT HERE.
IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THOUGHT THERE. YEAH. I MEAN, WE'RE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF WORKING THAT OUT. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION AROUND THINGS LIKE HOW THE WATER IS DELIVERED. YOU KNOW, HOSE BIBS VERSUS SOME SORT OF AN AUTOMATIC SYSTEM.
AND DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON THE VALUE OF THAT. YOU KNOW, CERTAINLY THE FEEDING STANDPOINT IS, IS, IS GOING TO BE CRITICAL. GENERALLY SPEAKING, WE TRY AND PROVIDE CENTRAL STORAGE WHERE WE CAN, BUT RECOGNIZING THAT THAT'S NOT PERFECT FOR EVERY SITUATION, IF THAT MAKES SENSE.
BUT WE WANT TO TRY AND LIMIT THE WHERE THE STRUCTURES THAT ARE COMING IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL STRUCTURES ARE NOT MORE THAN THEY HAVE TO BE, YOU KNOW, SO THAT KIDS AREN'T HAVING TO BRING IN THOSE BIG BOXES IF THEY DON'T HAVE TO.
THE IDEA WOULD BE TO PROVIDE SOMETHING THAT'S A UNIFORM STORAGE SYSTEM, AND THERE'S THINGS THAT ARE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT PURPOSE WHERE THEY'RE STORING THEIR FEED IN SIMILAR CONTAINERS, AND IT'S LABELED AND LOCKED AS NECESSARY TO PROVIDE SECURITY.
BUT THEY'RE ABLE TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S DESIGNED FOR THAT PURPOSE VERSUS HAVING TO CONSTRUCT SOMETHING ON THEIR OWN. BUT WE'LL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THAT IN THE NEXT IN THE NEXT PHASE. MR. JOHNSON, I DON'T HAVE ANY TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.
I'M NOT REALLY AN AG PERSON, SO TO SPEAK. I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO RAISE A RABBIT, MUCH LESS A COW, BUT I ADMIRE THE KIDS THAT DO. MY QUESTION IS FAR SIMPLER.
DO WE HAVE AN ADEQUATE BATHROOM SPACES FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO BE THERE? YES, SIR. WE'VE GOT BOTH A WHAT WE WOULD CONSIDER A PUBLIC RESTROOM.
[01:05:04]
SO FOR THE ASSEMBLY SPACE FOR THE 600 PATRONS THAT MAY BE SITTING IN THE STANDS, AND THEN THERE'S A NUMBER OF SMALLER RESTROOMS THAT ARE MORE FOR DAILY USE.AND SO THE THOUGHT IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THE STUDENTS WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THE SMALLER RESTROOMS, BOTH MALE AND FEMALE, AND, AND THEN THE PUBLIC WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO THE, TO THE GROUP RESTROOMS OR THE MULTI.
IT'S GOING TO BE LOTS OF STALLS YOU KNOW, TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE.
THANK YOU. THAT ANSWERED MY QUESTION QUITE WELL.
WITH THIS DESIGN, WHAT DOES IT GIVE US THE ABILITY TO EXPAND TOO? AND THEN YOU TALKED ABOUT EXPANSION FROM THAT POINT ON.
ABSOLUTELY. SO, YOU KNOW, THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT THIS SITE IS YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF ACREAGE.
AND SO WHETHER THAT'S ADDITIONAL ANIMAL BARNS OR ADDITIONAL LARGE SHOW ARENA OR SOME OTHER FUNCTION, YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP THIS SITE.
THE NATURE OF THE BARNS, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT IN THIS PLAN, WE COULD INFILL ON EACH SIDE AND STILL HAVE ACCESS BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS AND, AND CREATE, YOU KNOW, 2 TO 3 LARGER KIND OF BARN AREAS.
IF THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS WERE LOOKING FOR TO DO IN THE FUTURE. AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE LOOKED AT AND WE DO ON EVERY PROJECT IS JUST TRYING TO IMAGINE, YOU KNOW, IF WE PACKED EVERYTHING WE COULD ON A POTENTIAL SITE, WHAT MIGHT IT LOOK LIKE? AND THEN WE TRY AND WORK WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF WHERE WE FIT, YOU KNOW, SO THAT WE GIVE YOU GUYS THE FLEXIBILITY.
WE DON'T EVER WANT TO PAINT YOU INTO A CORNER WHERE YOU CAN'T DO SOMETHING YOU NEED TO DO BECAUSE NOBODY THOUGHT ABOUT IT, RIGHT. SO WE TRY VERY HARD TO THINK ABOUT POTENTIAL EVENTUALITIES THAT YOU GUYS MAY BE FACING, WHETHER YOU DO OR NOT.
IF WE DESIGN IT THAT WAY TO ACCOMMODATE FUTURE, THEN THEN YOU'RE NOT MAD AT ME DOWN THE ROAD.
WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO DO AN ADDITION AND YOU'RE ABLE TO FIT EVERYTHING YOU NEED, RIGHT? I GUESS I WAS LOOKING MORE FOR AND MAYBE THIS IS A QUESTION FOR MISS BLAKEY OR DOCTOR LOPEZ. YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF WHERE WE ARE WITH OUR NUMBERS YOU KNOW, HOW DOES THIS FACILITY ACCOMMODATE THAT? AND THEN WHAT PERCENTAGE OF GROWTH TO OUR CURRENT PROGRAM WILL THIS CURRENT DESIGN ACCOMMODATE BEFORE WE WOULD NEED TO EXPAND? SOMEBODY I SAID, MR. BLAKEY, I MEAN, MISS BLAKEY.
OH, I'M SORRY, MISS. MISS BLAKEY OR DOCTOR LOPEZ.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO CALL YOU MR. MISS. I'LL ANSWER.
ALL RIGHT. GOOD EVENING, BOARD OF TRUSTEES. DOCTOR LOPEZ.
SO AS FAR AS THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF DISCUSSION BETWEEN OUR DEPARTMENT AND VLK, AND WE HAVE TALKED A WHOLE LOT ABOUT EXPANSION AND BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE, NOT JUST FOR OUR CURRENT NEEDS. A LOT OF ENGAGEMENT WITH THE AG TEACHERS AND STUDENTS AND ALUMNI.
AND SO AS FAR AS EXPANSION I THINK YOUR QUESTION WAS ABOUT HOW MUCH, HOW MUCH WE TALKED ABOUT EXPANSION AND HOW MUCH SPACE, NO PLAN. WHERE WE CURRENTLY ARE. YOU KNOW, HOW THIS CURRENT DESIGN ACCOMMODATES THAT.
AND THEN WHAT COULD WE GROW TO WITHIN THIS CURRENT DESIGN, AND THEN WHAT EXPANSION LOOKS BEYOND THAT? OKAY. SO AS FAR AS EXACT NUMBERS, I DON'T HAVE THAT FOR YOU.
BUT WE HAVE TALKED A LOT ABOUT WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
SO CURRENT NUMBERS IN OUR AG PROGRAM ARE IN FFA.
IN GENERAL, OUR SEVERAL HUNDRED STUDENTS IN FFA.
I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER BECAUSE WE HAVE FIVE CAMPUSES INVOLVED IN FFA RIGHT NOW.
AND SO OUR VET PROGRAM AT THE GRCTC IS ALSO USES HAS THE POTENTIAL TO USE THIS FACILITY.
BUT THE THESE FACILITIES WILL HOLD WELL OVER THE NUMBER OF ANIMALS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE, BECAUSE WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO SIGNIFICANT GROWTH IN OUR AG PROGRAM ONCE WE HAVE SIGNIFICANT FACILITIES AND THEIR CLEAN AND ABLE TO BE ACCESSED BY ALL CAMPUSES AND EVEN ALL SEVEN IF IT GROWS TO THAT.
OKAY. SO WE'LL GET YOU EXACT NUMBERS. OKAY. THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT.
MY PLEASURE. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL NOW MOVE TO OUR ACTION ITEMS FOR NON
[V.A. New Bids]
CONSENT. UNDER A, NEW BIDS, WE HAVE NUMBER ONE CONTRACT NUMBER 51002-2.5, CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDATION TO AWARD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ROOF REPLACEMENT FOR COOPER, GIDDENS-STEADHAM AND HARTFORD.MR. FERNANDEZ. THANK YOU. BOARD PRESIDENT SELDERS.
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. DOCTOR LOPEZ. MAY I ASK THAT WE EXPAND THE DISPLAY? MATT, MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT BIGGER. IT'S A LITTLE HARD FOR ME TO SEE THERE.
[01:10:13]
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, SIR. THANK YOU. OKAY, SO TONIGHT WE'RE HERE TO TONIGHT WE ARE HERE TO PROVIDE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO MOVE TO APPROVE PARAGON ROOFING, TO BE THE CONTRACTOR TO PROVIDE ROOF REPLACEMENT AT COOPER, GIDDENS-STADIUM AND HERFURTH ELEMENTARY FOR A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $5,977,046.THIS IS BEING FUNDED OUT OF THE BOND PROCEEDS.
THIS THE INFORMATION WE'RE SHARING HERE, WHAT'S ON THE WEBSITE IS ALTA ALTA VISTA ROOFING.
WAS ACTUALLY THE NUMBER ONE SUBMISSION THAT WE RECEIVED.
AND SO WE HAVE GONE TO THE SECOND BIDDER, WHICH IS PARAGON ROOFING.
AND SO WE'VE ADJUSTED THE FINANCIAL IMPACT ACCORDINGLY FOR THAT.
SO SO THAT WHAT YOU SEE HERE, THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS ARE UNDER BUDGET.
SO WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU THIS PROJECT AND RECOMMENDING THAT FOR AWARD.
AND WITH THAT, WE'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MAY HAVE.
ANY QUESTIONS. MR. MILLER? YES. ONE RIGHT QUICK.
DID YOU EXPLAIN WHAT WERE THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE WITHDRAWAL OF THE FIRST CANDIDATE OR FIRST BIDDER? THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THAT. IF I'D LIKE TO DEFER TO PURCHASING FOR THAT.
THAT WAS A COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE BUT IT WAS WITHDRAWN BY THE BIDDER, RIGHT? YES, SIR. IT WAS NOT WITHDRAWN BY THE DISTRICT. IT WAS WITHDRAWN BY THE BIDDER.
OKAY, THAT'S REALLY ALL I NEED. I CAN MAKE A MOTION IF YOU WANT.
MR. JOHNSON HAD A QUESTION? YES. AS I RECALL, PRESENTATION MAYBE A FEW MONTHS AGO WHERE SEVERAL OF OUR SCHOOL BUILDINGS, INCLUDING HERFURTH, HAD NEEDED SOME TYPE OF ROOF ISSUES WITH RESPECT TO IT.
THEY WERE ALL IN THAT CASE, THEY WERE ALL THE SAME STANDING SEAM METAL TYPE OF ROOF.
AND I NOTICED THE ONLY ONE THAT'S HERE WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT IS HERFURTH.
IS THIS A DIFFERENT SECTION OF THE ROOF? NO, THIS IS THE EXACT SAME ROOF.
THERE'S ACTUALLY TWO, THREE FACILITIES THAT ARE LIKE THIS.
I BELIEVE IT'S 2 OR 3. AND WE PULLED ALL OF THE WORK ORDERS FOR THAT.
SO WE HAVE ATTRIBUTED THAT WE'VE GONE BACK AND LOOKED AT THAT.
WE'VE ALSO LOOKED BACK AT THE DESIGN DRAWINGS THAT WE HAVE FOR RECORDS FOR THOSE CAMPUSES.
AND THE ONLY THING WE CAN ATTRIBUTE THAT TO IS THE MEANS AND METHODS AND THE CONSTRUCTABILITY OF HOW IT WAS CONSTRUCTED WHEN THE BUILDING WAS FIRST, WHEN IT WAS FIRST BUILT. BECAUSE I REMEMBER HERFURTH HAS THE SAME DESIGN BASICALLY AS ABBETT.
YES, SIR. AND SEWELL. YES, SIR. AND BUT THESE OTHER TWO SCHOOLS, GIDDENS-STEADHAM AND COOPER, THEY'RE VERY DIFFERENT. YES, SIR. BUILDINGS. SO AT THE TIME WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HERFURTH, I THINK THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE ROOF WE WERE LOOKING AT WITH RESPECT TO LEAKS OVER THE KITCHEN AREA, IF I RECALL. NOW YOU CAN CORRECT ME, SIR, BUT I BELIEVE WE HAD AGAIN, WE WENT BACK, AND HERFURTH IS THE ONLY ONE THAT IS HAVING THAT THAT PREDOMINANT LEAKING ISSUE BETWEEN THE KITCHEN AND THE DINING AREA.
BUT REGARDLESS OF WHICH WE'RE REPLACING THE ENTIRE ROOF, IT'S GOING TO FIX THAT ISSUE AS WELL.
WE'RE REPLACING THE METAL PANEL ROOF FOR HERFURTH.
THIS PARTICULAR ROOF PROJECT REPLACES THE METAL PANEL ROOF.
THAT IS WHERE THE ROOF. THAT IS WHERE THE LEAK IS ACTUALLY COMING FROM.
OKAY. BUT THOSE TWO, THOSE BIG LONG SECTION THAT GOES ACROSS.
YES, SIR. OKAY. YES, SIR. BUT SO THIS IS GOING TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE WE HAD HEARD ABOUT PREVIOUSLY.
[01:15:01]
YES, SIR. THAT IS CORRECT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. THANKS VERY MUCH. YES, SIR.MISS MILLER, IF THERE'S NO OTHER DISCUSSION, I WOULD MAKE A MOTION THAT WE APPROVE.
PARAGON ROOFING LLC FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ROOF REPLACEMENT FOR COOPER AND GIDDENS-STEADHAM AND HERFURTH WITH ALTERNATIVE ONE AS PRESENTED TO THE BOARD TONIGHT IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT CODE TITLE TEN, CHAPTER 2269.155 ALSO APPROVED REQUEST APPROVAL FOR NEGOTIATIONS TO PROCEED WITH THE SECOND RANKED FIRM IF NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE TOP RANKED FIRM ARE UNSUCCESSFUL. SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED BY MR. MILLER AND SECONDED BY MR. JOHNSON. WE'RE GOING TO BE VOTING MANUALLY THIS EVENING, SO THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION OR QUESTIONS.
GO AHEAD AND VOTE. SHOWING OF HANDS. MOTION CARRIES SEVEN ZERO.
THANK YOU. WE'LL MOVE TO ACTION ITEM NUMBER TWO.
CONTRACT NUMBER 510-25-04. CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDATION TO AWARD MODULAR BUILDINGS, CLASSROOMS AND RELOCATION SERVICES CONTRACT. MR. BOOKER, MR. FERNANDEZ. YES, SIR. THE CONTRACT BEFORE YOU CONTRACT NUMBER.
MATT, COULD YOU JUST LOWER THAT JUST A LITTLE BIT SO I CAN.
HE TOLD ME NOT TO TOUCH IT ANYMORE. CONTRACT 5 102504 IS FOR MODULAR BUILDINGS RELOCATION AND THE ABILITY TO, IN FACT, RENT ONE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AS NEEDED.
AND THE AWARDED VENDORS ARE ATTACHED IN EXHIBIT A WITH A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $500,000.
80% OF THAT WOULD BE PAID FOR OUT OF THE BOND FUNDS AND 20% OUT OF THE GENERAL FUND.
ANY QUESTIONS? MISS STANLEY? WELL, I THOUGHT WE ALREADY HAD SOMEONE WHO WAS, IS THE MODULAR BUILDINGS DIFFERENT FROM OUR PORTABLES? WELL, WE HAVE PORTABLE BUILDINGS, BUT THIS THIS PARTICULAR MODULAR, THIS PARTICULAR CONTRACT IS FOR US TO BE ABLE TO PROCURE SOME ADDITIONAL MODULAR BUILDINGS IF WE NEED THEM.
WE HAVE ANOTHER CONTRACT FOR THE ACTUAL PORTABLES.
BUT I THOUGHT WE WERE GETTING RID OF PORTABLES, SO WHY WOULD WE BE? THIS WOULD BE THE CONTRACT TO RELOCATE AND MOVE PORTABLES.
BUT IF THE NEED ARISES, WE COULD BRING IN A FACILITY.
SO THIS WOULD BE STRICTLY A TEMPORARY. TEMPORARY.
MODULAR, WE'RE NOT. THAT'S CORRECT. IT WILL NOT BE AROUND IN TEN YEARS.
IT'S A RENTAL CONTRACT FOR BUILDING IF NEEDED.
OKAY, SO IT'S OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? IF NOT, I WILL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MISS STANLEY.
