[00:00:03]
ALL RIGHT, WE'RE ON. GOOD AFTERNOON. I AM TAKING THE PLACE OF PRESIDENT ROBERT SELDERS.
[I. Call to Order and Determination of Quorum]
HE HAD TO STEP OUT FOR THIS MEETING, AND SO I'M TAKING HIS PLACE TODAY.SO THIS IS A MEETING OF THE SPECIAL MEETING. BOND MEETING FOR TUESDAY, MAY THE 13TH AT THE TIME IS 4:42, AND WE ARE CALLING THIS MEETING TO ORDER, AND I DETERMINE THAT THERE IS A QUORUM PRESENT.
MISS HOGAN, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC FORUM FORMS OR CARDS? NO CARDS. THEN WE'LL GO TO THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR HIS MESSAGE.
[III. Superintendent's Message]
WELL, WE GOT A LOT OF PROJECTS ON ON THE DOCKET, AND I THINK PEOPLE ARE WAITING WITH ANTICIPATION TO START SEEING THINGS GET CONSTRUCTED AND GO UP. RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE OUR MAX MOVING FORWARD, DIFFERENT PACES AT DIFFERENT SCHOOLS.IT'S I JUST WANT THE COMMUNITY TO KNOW IT IS SO UNIQUE THAT EACH SITE IS SO DIFFERENT, AND SO THEY'RE GOING TO SAY, WELL, YEAH, IT'S DIFFERENT, BUT I'M EVEN TALKING ABOUT UNDERGROUND IN SOME OF OUR SITES, SOME OF THE UNDERGROUND.
WE HAD NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE CITY BACK IN THE DAY TO ALLOW OUR SEWAGE DRAINS TO GO UNDERNEATH THE SCHOOLS AND OTHERS, THE WAY IT'S LANDLOCKED AND, AND WE HAVE DIFFERENT TYPE OF.
LET'S TALK ABOUT TECHNOLOGY LINES AND EVERYTHING ELSE UNDERGROUND IN THOSE AREAS.
BECAUSE THE PREDICTION BACK THEN WAS AND THEY'RE CEMENTED, BY THE WAY, THEY WEREN'T JUST LIKE UNDERGROUND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT UNDER UNDERGROUND CEMENTED LINES. THE FEELING WAS, NOTHING WILL EVER BE BUILT IN THIS AREA AND LET'S GO AHEAD AND DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, WHICH THEY DID. SO ALL OF THOSE HURDLES ARE CAUSING DELAYS HERE AND THERE, BUT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO MOVING FORWARD, AND WE HAVE JAVIER WITH SOME EXTENSIVE PLANNING COMING FORWARD.
[IV.A. Receive Presentation on Bond 2023 Program Summary Update]
UPDATE. JAVIER FERNANDEZ.THANK YOU. COMMITTEE CHAIR, MR. BEACH, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DR.
LAST, I'LL START OFF WITH SAYING THAT LAST MONTH I BROUGHT THIS SUMMARY TO YOU, AND I MIGHT HAVE OVER EXTENDED THE USE OF THE WORD EXCITED. SO THIS MONTH, I'M NOT SO EXCITED, AND SO WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH THAT GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME INFORMATION TODAY SOME FACTUAL INFORMATION OF WHAT WE HAVE AND WORKING ON A PLAN TO GET US TO MOVE FORWARD. SO WITH THAT, WE'LL GET STARTED. AGAIN, FOR THE COMMUNITY, THE BOND PROPOSITIONS THAT WERE THREE THAT WERE PASSED FOR A TOTAL OF 1.279 BILLION. YOU CAN SEE THE BREAKOUT THERE OF HOW EACH ONE IS BROKEN OUT FUNDING WISE.
OKAY. THE SOFTBALL BASEBALL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
YOU SEE THAT WE HAVE ACTUALLY DROPPED OFF PART ONE BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE ITEMS BELOW, BUT IT DOES SHOW UP ON THE SCHEDULE AT THE TOP.
I WILL SAY THAT WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SHARE WITH YOU ON THESE PRESENTATIONS, ALL OF THE SCHEDULES HAVE BEEN THE MAJORITY OF SCHEDULES HAVE BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT THE LATEST INFORMATION THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED FROM BOTH OUR ARCHITECTS AND OUR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS, CONTRACT MANAGERS THOSE BEING GIVING YOU THE LATEST INSIGHT AS TO WHAT WE HAVE AS FAR AS DURATIONS FOR OUR WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE. THIS TIMELINE THAT YOU SEE UP ON TOP, THIS ONE HAS CHANGED FROM LAST MONTH.
WHAT WE HAVE DONE THIS MONTH IS WE HAVE ACTUALLY TAKEN PART THREE, AND WE'VE BROKEN THAT PART THREE UP INTO THREE, TWO SEPARATE AREAS, AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS THE SOFTBALL FIELD AND BASEBALL FIELDS FOR GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL ARE BEING LOCATED AT WILLIAMS STADIUM. SO THEY ARE BEING RELOCATED TO THAT AREA.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE WE'RE NOT PUTTING IN TURF AT THEIR EXISTING LOCATIONS.
IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THAT, THE DISTRICT MADE AN INVESTMENT TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY AT THE CORNER THERE AT WILLIAMS, WHERE THERE WAS A BUSINESS ON THE CORNER. WE'VE ACQUIRED THAT PROPERTY AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF WE JUST RECEIVED
[00:05:03]
SOLICITATIONS FOR THE DEMOLITION OF THAT PROPERTY, ALONG WITH THE ADDITIONAL PROPERTY THAT THE DISTRICT OWNS, THE STUDENT SERVICE CENTER THAT IS BEING PROPOSED TO BE DEMOLISHED AS WELL, AND THAT IS WHERE OUR NEW BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL COMPLEX FOR GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL WILL BE LOCATED. THAT BEING SAID, YOU CAN SEE THAT PIECE OF PART THREE HAS NOW HAS TWO SEPARATE PIECES TO IT.ONE BEING ADDED IS THE ABATEMENT. THERE ARE ABATEMENT THAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE FOR THE P ROPERTY THAT WE ACQUIRED ALONG WITH THE PROPERTY THAT WE CURRENTLY OWN, AND SO YOU CAN SEE THOSE TWO TIMELINES THAT EXIST THERE AS FAR AS THE PART TWO PIECE GOES.
THE LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL NORTH, GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, SOUTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL.
HAPPY TO REPORT THE SOUND SYSTEMS, BACKSTOPS, THE BENCHES AND THE BAT RACKS.
OUR CANOPY INSTALLATION IS GOING TO START AT THE END OF THIS MONTH, AND WE SHOULD BE COMPLETED IN JUNE, AND THEREBY HOPEFULLY FINISHING UP THE PART TWO PIECE.
P ART THREE, AS I STATED, WE HAD A SOLICITATION.
THOSE WERE DUE BACK THIS MONTH. WE PLAN TO BRING THAT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR A RECOMMENDATION NEXT MONTH SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH THE DEMOLITION, AND THEN WE WILL BE BRINGING THE BASEBALL SOFTBALL COMPLEX DESIGN IN JULY FOR THE GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL AREA, PART THREE. THESE ARE THE AERIALS FOR SOUTH GARLAND SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL AREAS, FOR NORTH GARLAND NORTH GARLAND SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL, AND I HAVE TO TELL YOU THOSE THOSE ARE SOME FANTASTIC LOOKING FACILITIES THAT WE WERE BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR OUR STUDENTS HERE IN GARLAND. THIS IS THE LAKEVIEW SOFTBALL AND BASEBALL.
NO LONGER ARE THEY SEPARATED BY A CAMPUS AND A PARKING LOT.
THEY'RE NOW NEXT TO ONE ANOTHER SO THAT WE CAN CREATE A COMPLEX FEEL, WHICH IS REALLY WHAT YOU WANT TO GROW THOSE PROGRAMS, AND SO WE'RE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THAT. SO THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY FOR ALLOWING US TO DO THAT FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR STUDENTS.
YOU'LL START TO SEE HEAVY EQUIPMENT BEING CENTERED AROUND LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL.
SO BEAR WITH US. I WILL SAY THAT THIS IS WHILE WE HAVE STARTED LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL DOING THE BASEBALL FIELDS AND SOFTBALL FIELDS, AND THERE HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTION LAST YEAR AT LAKEVIEW AND THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, WE REALLY ANTICIPATE LAKEVIEW TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT THREE YEARS, BECAUSE FOLLOWING THIS PROJECT, HERE IS OUR LAKEVIEW PROJECT WHERE WE WILL DO A RENOVATION TO THE FACILITY ITSELF. A LARGE ENHANCEMENT TO THAT FACILITY.
SO BEAR WITH US AS WE WORK THROUGH THAT. I THINK AT THE END OF THE DAY, ONCE ONCE WE ARE FINISHED WITH LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL, YOU WILL NOT RECOGNIZE LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL AFTER THIS BOND PROGRAM.
IT WILL BE TREMENDOUS. I THINK THE PEOPLE WILL REALLY ENJOY THE PROGRESS THAT WE'RE MAKING THERE.
YOU CAN SEE THE REST OF THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE AT THE OTHER CAMPUSES.
NAAMAN FOREST ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL.
I WANT TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION TO THE TIMELINE THAT HAS BEEN ADJUSTED FROM LAST MONTH.
SO THE PERMITTING ON THIS, YOU CAN SEE THE DURATIONS FOR PERMITTING, WHICH EXTEND OUT MANY MONTHS.
WE'VE HAD TO WAIT BECAUSE OF THAT. WE'RE HAVING SOME DIFFICULTIES ACHIEVING OUR ABILITY TO MOVE IN WHEN WE INITIALLY WANTED TO MOVE IN. NOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS MOVING IN THE BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER OF NEXT YEAR.
THE DURATION IS THE SAME, AND SO THAT PERMITTING HAS CAUSED US A DELAY IN BEING ABLE TO COMPLETE THE PROJECTS, AND I WILL ADD THAT THE DELAY ON THE PERMITTING FOR THIS IS WITHIN THE CITY OF
[00:10:04]
GARLAND. WE HADN'T EXPERIENCED ANY DELAYS WITH THE CITY OF ROWLETT OR THE CITY OF SACHSE.THOSE WERE THOSE WERE LONGER THAN EXPECTED, BUT WE WOULD NOT CONSIDER THOSE FROM A DELAY STANDPOINT.
ALL OF THIS YOU SEE HERE IS IS INFORMATION THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH WITH THE CITY OF GARLAND, AND SO YOU'LL SEE THESE ARE JUST THE AERIALS THAT WE HAD WITH THOSE CAMPUSES.
WE'VE ADDED FOR THIS TIMELINE, WE'VE ADDED THE PERMITTING FOR THIS PROJECT THAT WASN'T THERE BEFORE, AND THE CONSTRUCTION ON THIS ONE. WE INITIALLY HAD ANTICIPATED BEING ABLE TO MOVE IN IN AUGUST LIKE A REGULAR SCHOOL YEAR IN 2026. WE'RE NOW WORKING WITH THE CONTRACTOR, AND BECAUSE OF THE DURATION OF CONSTRUCTION, WE'RE SEEING OCTOBER 1ST AS THE EARLIEST MOVE IN DATE AS WE STAND NOW.
WE HAVE NOT STARTED THE CONSTRUCTION OF FREEMEN, WE HAVE DEMOED FREEMEN, WE HAVE DEMOED THE SLAB, WE'VE DEMOED ALL THE EXISTING UTILITIES, BUT I CAN SHARE WITH YOU THAT ON FREEMAN.
WHILE THIS SAYS SITE PERMIT ANTICIPATED IN MAY.
UNFORTUNATELY, BASED OFF OF THE INFORMATION I JUST RECEIVED LATE LAST WEEK THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO PUSH US INTO JUNE, AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS WE HAVE A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS, WHICH IS CALLED A TEA THAT IS REQUIRED ANYTIME YOU DO A NEW FACILITY WHERE THE CITY WANTS TO KNOW WHAT ARE THE TRAFFIC IMPACTS TO THIS BUILDING THAT YOU'RE BUILDING? WE ARE AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT, WE ARE CONSIDERED A DEVELOPER WITHIN THE CITY OF GARLAND, WITHIN THE CITY OF ROWLETT, AND WITHIN THE CITY OF SACHSE. SO WE ARE TREATED JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DEVELOPER.
IF WE'RE GOING TO PUT A NEW BUILDING OUT THERE, THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW IS HOW IS THAT GOING TO IMPACT OUR EXISTING HOW IS IT GOING TO IMPACT OUR EXISTING ROADWAYS? SO WHAT WE HAVE HEARD FROM THE CITY OF GARLAND, THEY'RE NOW WANTING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL ADDED TO THE CORNER OF WALNUT AND HILLCREST IS WHERE THERE IS DISCUSSION ABOUT ADDING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THEY'RE ALSO WANTING ADDITIONAL DECELERATION LANES ADDED TO HILLCREST WHICH IS A NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL, BUT THEY'RE WANTING TO ADD A DECELERATION LANE TO THAT.
IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY'RE ASKING FOR US TO REVIEW OUR SITE PLAN THAT WE SUBMITTED TO THEM.
THEY'VE BEEN PRETTY ADAMANT, AND THEY'VE SAID THAT THEY'VE TAKEN A STANCE THAT SAID THEY WILL NOT APPROVE ANY DRAWINGS WHERE ANY. I SHOULD STATE THIS. THEIR COMMENTS WERE ALL ALL TRAFFIC GOING INTO THAT FACILITY MUST BE MAINTAINED ON SITE. IT CANNOT BE MAINTAINED ON THE STREETS.
THAT'S CAUSING US TO INCREASE OUR SITE. CONCRETE, IF YOU WILL.
PARKING DRIVES. SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT.
I CONSTANTLY TELL PEOPLE WE DON'T BUILD SCHOOL PARKING LOTS FOR CHRISTMAS AND EASTER.
YOU DON'T BUILD PARKING LOTS FOR THOSE TWO DAYS, AND THAT'S NOT HOW WE BUILD SCHOOLS EITHER.
SO WE'RE WORKING WITH THE CITY AND TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THEIR REQUEST, BUT WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN ACCOMMODATE THOSE REQUESTS AND STILL MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF, AND SO THAT'S SOME OF THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING BACK FROM THE CITY OF GARLAND WITH FREEMAN.
SO YOU CAN SEE THERE THE EXTENT OF THE PERMITTING DURATION.
AGAIN, FREEMAN WAS TURNED IN IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR TO THE CITY OF GARLAND.
ON KIMBERLIN ACADEMY FOR EXCELLENCE. THOSE DOCUMENTS WERE SUBMITTED TO THE CITY IN DECEMBER OF LAST YEAR TO REVIEW FOR PERMITTING. THAT CAMPUS. I JUST RECEIVED RIGHT BEFORE THIS MEETING HERE.
I JUST RECEIVED INFORMATION FROM THE DESIGN FIRM ADVISING US THAT THE CITY IS NOW REQUESTING A
[00:15:09]
RELOCATION OF THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT MILLER AND DAIRY, AND SO THAT'S GOING TO IMPACT THAT PROJECT, AND SO I JUST GOT THAT RIGHT BEFORE THIS MEETING.SO AGAIN, THESE ARE THESE ARE CHANGES OR REQUESTS THAT ARE COMING IN FROM THE CITY WELL BEYOND THE TIME THAT WE'VE TURNED IN OUR PERMITS, AND SO WE'RE DOING THE BEST WE CAN TO RESPOND TO THESE REQUESTS GET THEM THE INFORMATION THAT THEY REQUIRE IN ORDER FOR US TO GET STARTED, I WILL SAY THIS.
WE HAVE NOT WE HAVE NOT GONE SILENT WITH THE CITY.
WE HAVE IN MULTIPLE OCCASIONS VISITED WITH THE CITY.
WE HAVE ASKED FOR SITE GRADING PERMITS FOR FREEMAN AND FOR FREEMAN AND KIMBERLIN TO ALLOW US TO GET STARTED, TO DO THE GRADING, TO DO THE UTILITY WORK, WHICH IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE GET THAT DONE, AND THE CITY ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT HAS FLAT OUT TOLD US, NO, YOU CANNOT DO THAT.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT. WORKING THROUGH THAT, THOSE PROCESSES WITH THESE TWO PROJECTS.
I WISH I HAD BETTER NEWS, BUT THAT'S WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY ON THESE TWO PROJECTS.
THE LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL AND NAAMAN FOREST HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT.
YOU CAN SEE THE PERMITTING WHEN IT WAS TURNED IN IN MARCH, AND WE'RE STILL VETTING THROUGH THE PERMITTING PROCESS FOR NAMING AND LAKEVIEW. WE HAVE RECEIVED WE'VE RECEIVED RESPONSES BACK FROM THE SOLICITATION FROM THE CMAR, AND WE ARE WORKING THROUGH THAT. WE WILL HAVE TO DO A VALUE ENGINEERING ON THIS PROJECT, BECAUSE THE COST THAT WE'VE RECEIVED ARE OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF THE BUDGET THAT WE HAVE FOR THIS PROJECT.
SO WE ARE WORKING WITH BOTH THE ARCHITECTURAL FIRM AND THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK TO DEVELOP A VALUE ENGINEERING PACKAGE SO THAT WE CAN BRING THIS PACKAGE BACK TO THE BOARD FOR APPROVAL FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL, SO THAT WE CAN GET STARTED WITH THIS WORK.
THE GOOD NEWS? ELEMENTARY PLAYGROUNDS. THOSE AGREEMENTS ARE COMPLETE, AND WE ARE MOVING FORWARD.
WE'VE GOT PERMITTING WE'VE WE HAVE PAID FOR SEVERAL PERMITS.
WITH THE CITY OF GARLAND. WE PAID FOR ALL OUR PERMITS WITH THE CITY OF SACHSE, AND WE PAID FOR ALL OUR PERMITS WITH THE CITY OF ROWLETT. SO THIS PROJECT IS IS ON TARGET TO MEET OUR DECEMBER 1ST COMPLETION DATE. OUR ELEMENTARY CAMPUSES FOR OUR FENCING PROJECT. THIS IS PHASE ONE BID PACK SEVEN.
WE HAD I WANT TO CALL YOUR ATTENTION THAT THE BOARD APPROVED A CONTRACT 510-01-1.7.
IT WAS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON MARCH 11TH.
SINCE THAT TIME, THE DISTRICT BEGAN NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE CONTRACTOR WHO WAS RECOMMENDED.
THOSE THOSE NEGOTIATIONS FELL APART, AND BECAUSE OF THE SECOND BIDDER, THE DISTANCE FROM COST BETWEEN THE FIRST RESPONDER TO OUR SOLICITATION AND THE SECOND, THE DOLLAR AMOUNT WAS SUBSTANTIAL, AND SO THE DISTRICT HAS CHOSEN TO RE SOLICIT THIS PACKAGE FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE DISTRICT, AND SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT. WE'RE GOING TO EXPEDITE THAT WITH OUR PURCHASING DEPARTMENT, AND YOU CAN SEE THE TIMELINE HAS BEEN ADJUSTED FOR THIS PROJECT HERE.
THIS IS SLID INTO THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2026 TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT.
THE FIRE ALARMS, THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO THE TIMELINE YOU SEE THERE.
THERE ARE SOME UPDATES. THE GOOD NEWS IS BRANDENBURG IS COMPLETE.
ETHERIDGE IS COMPLETE. PARSONS IS COMPLETE, AEC IS COMPLETE, AND THE TAX OFFICE IS COMPLETE.
WE'RE MAKING SOME VERY GOOD PROGRESS ON THOSE, AND WE'LL BE MOVING FORWARD WITH PHASE TWO, AS IT SAYS SOUTHGATE IS ABOUT 55% COMPLETE FOR SOUTHGATE.
SO WE'RE MOVING. THIS PROJECT IS MOVING ALONG VERY NICELY.
OUR SECURITY CAMERA REFRESH THAT PROJECT, WE WILL BE ISSUING PURCHASE ORDERS TO START THE PHASE ONE.
I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT EVERYTHING THAT CALLS OUT FOR IN THAT PROJECT.
SO THERE'S SOME FORMAL VETTING THAT'S TAKING PLACE BEFORE WE ACTUALLY ISSUE THOSE.
[00:20:02]
WE SHOULD GET THOSE DONE HERE WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK.SAME THING WITH THE ACCESS CONTROL. WE'RE PERFORMING SOME FINAL VETTING ON THE ACCESS CONTROL WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT WE ARE REPLACING, WHAT WE'RE ADDING IS, IN FACT THE THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE WITHIN THOSE PROJECTS.
NOW, AGAIN, I WANT TO SAY THE ACCESS CONTROL PIECE, ALONG WITH THE SECURITY CAMERAS, THOSE AREN'T JUST THE UNIT ITSELF THAT YOU SEE EITHER ON THE DOOR OR THE CAMERA.
THIS ALSO IS HARDWARE AT THE CAMPUS. SO SOME OF THESE ARE SERVER REPLACEMENTS.
DOOR HARDWARE AND KEYING, WE MADE SOME REALLY GOOD PROGRESS THERE. YOU CAN SEE THE HIGH SCHOOLS , THE ONES THAT ARE COMPLETE AND NAAMAN FOREST IS IN PROGRESS AND WE'VE GOT SOME HARDWARE THAT'S PENDING FOR ROWLETT HIGH SCHOOL.
WE'VE AS STATED LAST MONTH, THERE'S ABOUT A 6 TO 8 WEEK LEAD TIME UPON RECEIPT OF A PURCHASE ORDER.
YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
WE'VE B EEN STATING THIS FOR ABOUT THE LAST, I GUESS, ABOUT THE LAST 5 TO 8 YEARS FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE LAST 5 TO 8 YEARS. DOOR HARDWARE. DOOR. CAUSE FRAMES, DOORS.
THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A LONG LEAD ITEM, AND THEY JUST, THEY JUST ALWAYS HAVE FOR THE LAST 5 TO 8 YEARS, AND SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THAT, AND YOU CAN SEE THE HARDWARE TIMELINE.
YOU CAN SEE IT'S BEEN ADJUSTED. WE STILL PLAN ON COMPLETING THIS BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
OKAY. OUR NEW LINDA GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, OUR SCOPE TO BUDGET IS ABOUT 90%, AND OUR SCHEMATIC DESIGN PRESENTATION WE PLAN ON BRINGING NEXT MONTH TO THE BOARD. A PRESENTATION FOR THE FACILITY ITSELF, AND GIVING THE BOARD AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT THIS FABULOUS SCHOOL THAT IS BEING BEING PLACED AT THE CURRENT MONTCLAIR SITE.
SO MONTCLAIR STUDENTS WILL TRANSITION OVER TO HEATHER GLEN STARTING IN AUGUST OF THIS YEAR, AND AT THE END OF THIS MONTH WHEN THE STUDENTS VACATE MONTCLAIR, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD WITH REMOVING EVERYTHING FROM MONTCLAIR, AND THE DEMOLITION OF THE MONTCLAIR BUILDING WILL COMMENCE.
OUR SOUTH GARLAND NORTH GARLAND PROJECT. THAT PROJECT IS STILL ON SCHEDULE.
IT HAS WORKING THROUGH SOME ISSUES WITH I WILL SAY THAT OUR FINE ARTS.
THE ABILITY TO PROVIDE THE SPACE. AS YOU KNOW, LAKEVIEW, CENTENNIAL AND NAAMAN FOREST HIGH SCHOOL HAVE HAVE LOCKER ROOMS THAT ARE INSIDE THE BUILDING FOR OUR ATHLETIC LOCKER ROOMS. THOSE ARE BEING VACATED WITH THE NEW MULTI-PROGRAM ACTIVITY CENTERS.
THESE TWO CAMPUSES DON'T HAVE THAT. THESE TWO CAMPUSES HAVE SEPARATE WHAT WE CALL FIELD HOUSES, AND THESE ARE VERY OLD FIELD HOUSES. THE ONE AT NORTH GARDEN IS ACTUALLY IN THE WAY OF THE NEW MULTI-PROGRAM BUILDING.
SO IT WILL BE DEMOLISHED. THE ONE IN SOUTH GARLAND IS ACTUALLY IN THE WAY OF OUR NEW PROMENADE FOR OUR BASEBALL FIELD AND FOOTBALL AREAS AT SOUTH GARLAND. SO IT WILL ALSO BE GOING AWAY.
IF YOU RECALL, THAT'S AN ENHANCEMENT PROJECT.
SO THERE ARE THERE WERE ABOUT FOUR DIFFERENT CONCEPTS THAT WE CAME UP WITH THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO DO PROVIDE THE SERVICES WE NEED TO PROVIDE TO OUR STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND STAFF WITHIN THAT BUILDING AND WE'VE SETTLED ON ONE CONCEPT, AND SO WE'LL BE BRINGING THAT TO YOU HERE VERY SHORTLY.
[00:25:05]
COOPER, HERFURTH, STEADHAM THAT ROOF PACKAGE THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVED THAT IN APRIL, AND WE ARE STARTING WORK ON THAT ONE, AND WE PLAN ON FINISHING THAT ONE IN THE END OF SEPTEMBER SO THAT IS GOT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT. SO THOSE CAMPUSES COMPLETE WE'LL HAVE SOME ROOF WORK TAKING PLACE AT THOSE THREE FACILITIES.OKAY. OUR FENCING PROJECT. THERE'S 23 CAMPUSES AT SEVEN HIGH SCHOOLS.
12 MIDDLE SCHOOLS FOUR SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPUSES.
WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE A SCHEMATIC DESIGN PRESENTATION TO YOU AT THE END OF THIS PRESENTATION ON ANOTHER AGENDA ITEM, WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BRING TO YOU THE CONCEPTS THAT WE'VE DEVELOPED FOR THAT PROJECT.
OUR INTRUSION ALARM AGAIN, THAT ONE IS SCHEDULED TO START NEXT MONTH.
ON THE BEST APPROACH TO DO THAT, IT'S WE'RE WANTING TO GO STRAIGHT WITH A WATERPROOFING COMPANY SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH A GENERAL CONTRACTOR AND PAY GENERAL CONTRACTOR PREMIUM FEES.
SO WE WANT TO GO DIRECTLY WITH A WATERPROOFING COMPANY IN ORDER TO DO THAT WORK.
LOCAL AREA NETWORK. YOU CAN SEE THERE THE WORK THAT'S TAKEN PLACE, THE EQUIPMENT HAS SHIPPED FOR HUB SITES AND OUR METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK, THAT EQUIPMENT HAS BEEN ORDERED AND YOU CAN SEE THE TIMELINE THAT EXISTS THERE.
OUR ATHLETIC PACKAGE, WHICH IS SOUTH GARLAND, NORTH GARLAND, LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL.
WE'RE DEVELOPING ESTIMATES TO CONFIRM THE PROJECT SCOPE.
AGAIN, AT THE SOUTH GARLAND, W E HAVE A REVIEW OF THE CURRENT FOOTBALL FIELD LOCATIONS IN RELATION TO THE BLEACHERS THAT IS AT SOUTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL. THE WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOUTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, THAT'S A VERY, VERY TIGHT SITE WHEN THE FOOTBALL FIELD IS WHERE THE BASEBALL FIELD IS, WHERE A NEW MULTI-PROGRAM BUILDING IS BEING PLACED, AND SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE RELATIONSHIPS TO THOSE AND THEN ADDING BLEACHERS SPECTATOR BLEACHERS FOR FOOTBALL FIELD WE ARE LOOKING AT MAKING SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THAT FIELD, AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO DO THAT. WE PLAN ON ISSUING AN EARLY SITE PACKAGE FOR THAT ONE, JUST BECAUSE OF THE LESSONS LEARNED FROM THE OTHER PACKAGES, AND THEN OUR ENHANCEMENTS ON PHASE THREE, BID PACK THREE OUR SCOPE TO BUDGET IS COMPLETE, AND WE'LL BE PLANNING ON BRINGING TO YOU A SCHEMATIC DESIGN PRESENTATION FOR THAT PROJECT, AND WE'LL BE BRINGING TO YOU THE SAME TIME.
RIGHT NOW, OUR PLAN IS TO BE A HEAVY JUNE, WHERE WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU QUITE A FEW PROJECTS FOR REVIEW, FOR SCHEMATIC DESIGN NEXT MONTH. SO WE'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK THAT IS AT THAT FOREFRONT WHERE WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU DESIGNED OPTIONS.
WHAT THOSE CAMPUSES ARE PLANNING TO LOOK LIKE THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE INCLUDED WITHIN THEM.
WE'RE WORKING ON THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PRESENTATION FOR THAT ONE.
WE'RE DOING SCOPE REVIEW REVISIONS. THERE'S BEEN SOME REQUESTS FOR ADDITIONAL ITEMS TO BE ADDED WITHIN THE PROJECT, AND SO WE'RE REVISITING THAT PROJECT AND PLAN ON ON LOOKING AT A REVIEW OF THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THE ADDITIONAL SCOPE THAT WE'VE ADDED.
WE PLAN TO. WE STILL PLAN TO ISSUE AN EARLY SITE PLAN, BUT I WILL CALL YOUR ATTENTION.
LET ME BACK UP HERE. I HAVE NOT CHANGED THE I'VE NOT CHANGED THE CONSTRUCTION DURATION FOR THIS, AND THE CONSTRUCTION DURATION IS COMING FROM THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK.
I WILL I WILL ADD THAT THIS IS A FACILITY THAT'S LESS THAN 40,000FT².
SO IT'S A FACILITY THAT'S LESS THAN 40,000FT², AND I'VE ADDRESSED THIS WITH THE CMAR AND AT THIS POINT WE'RE NOT ADJUSTING THE SCHEDULE UNTIL WE GET A MORE SOLID INFORMATION FROM THE DESIGN TEAM, BUT WE DO EXPECT THAT CONSTRUCTION DURATION TO BE REDUCED.
IT IS RATHER LONG FOR A 40,000 SQUARE FOOT BUILDING, AND THEN OUR PROP C, YOU CAN SEE OUR
[00:30:05]
STUDENTS AND STAFF, THE COMPUTER REPLACEMENTS THAT'S IN THE DEPLOYMENT PHASE, AND OUR CHROMEBOOK REFRESH ON THAT PROJECT THAT STARTED DEPLOYMENT THIS MONTH, AND IT'S GOING TO CONTINUE THROUGH AUGUST.WE'VE MADE SOME REALLY GOOD PROGRESS. AGAIN, I WISH THERE WAS BETTER NEWS THAT I COULD GIVE YOU.
FROM THE PERMITTING STANDPOINT, WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH OUR CITIES ON A LOT OF THESE ISSUES, AND HOPEFULLY NEXT MONTH I'LL BE ABLE TO SHARE SOME GREAT NEWS TO YOU. QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD.
DAPHNE. MISS STANLEY. THANK YOU. SO GOING BACK TO PROBABLY THE VERY BEGINNING.
SORRY, BUT IT KIND OF CONCERNS ME WHEN YOU HAD MENTIONED FOR THE I BELIEVE YOU SAID IT WAS A HILLSIDE, THAT THE CITY OF GARLAND IS WANTING US TO RELOOK AT OUR PLANS BECAUSE THEY WANT BASICALLY OUR DROP OFF AND PICKUP TO NOT IMPACT ANYTHING OTHER THAN OUR OWN PROPERTY. CORRECT.
THEY HAVE STATED THAT THEY'VE WRITTEN THAT TO ME FOR THE FREEMAN PROPERTY AND ARE TAKING THE SAME STANCE FOR OUR NEW KIMBERLIN ACADEMY AS WELL. OKAY, SO THEN IT'S PROBABLY SAFE TO SAY THEY'RE GOING TO PROBABLY TAKE THAT SAME STANCE FOR THE BUILDING THAT'S GOING TO THE LINDA GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY. THAT IS CORRECT. SO THAT I HAVE I MEAN, THAT CONCERNS ME.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT CONCERNS ANYBODY ELSE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE VERY I MEAN, WHAT'S OUR ACREAGE.
IT'S EXTREMELY SMALL. YEAH, IT'S EXTREMELY SMALL, BUT I THINK WE'VE GOT A HIT ON THIS ONE AS FAR AS LINDA GRIFFIN GOES ON THAT ELEMENTARY. WE, WE GOT A LITTLE BIT AHEAD ON THAT ONE AS FAR AS THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC FLOW.
WELL, WE HAVEN'T BROUGHT ANYTHING TO YOU YET.
I CAN SHARE WITH YOU THAT WE'RE ROUTING A LOT OF THE TRAFFIC.
OUR PARENT DROP OFF WILL BE RIGHT TOWARDS THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY, AND WE'LL HAVE SOME DRAWINGS THAT WE CAN BRING TO YOU, BUT WE'LL BE ROUTING THAT TO THE BACK OF THE PROPERTY. SO IT'S A VERY LONG DRIVE THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE CREATING FOR THAT SCHOOL.
THE GOOD NEWS IS WE DO NOT ANTICIPATE A LARGE BUS AMOUNT.
SO THAT'S GOING TO BE GREAT NEWS FOR US AS FAR AS HOW WE SERVICE THE BUSSES, BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO WITH OUR CAMPUSES, AND WE'VE DONE THIS FOR MANY, MANY YEARS ON ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS, AND YOU TRY TO DO THAT ON HIGH SCHOOLS WHENEVER YOU CAN, BUT YOU WANT TO TRY TO SEGMENT SEGREGATE YOUR BUS TRAFFIC AWAY FROM YOUR PARENT TRAFFIC, PARENT TRAFFIC AWAY FROM YOUR STAFF TRAFFIC. WE'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT WITH A LOT OF OUR EXISTING FACILITIES.
UNFORTUNATELY, OUR BUSSES, THEY ARE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR PARENT DROP-OFF IN A LOT OF OUR SCHOOLS, AND SO WE'RE NOT DOING THAT WITH OUR NEW SCHOOLS.
WE'RE CREATING SEPARATE BUS DROP OFF AREAS, AND SO WE KEPT THAT IN THE BACK OF OUR MIND WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT LINDA GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY, AND SO I THINK YOU'LL BE PLEASED ON THE SOLUTION THAT WE CAME UP WITH THERE, BUT THAT IS A BIG CONCERN.
WELL, IT'S NOT SO MUCH I WOULD BE PLEASED. MY CONCERN IS I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE ONLY SEEN A SMALL PORTION OF THE RESISTANCE WE'RE GOING TO RECEIVE FROM JUST THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IN GENERAL, AND WE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH LAND TO BEGIN WITH, AND IF THE CITY IS DIGGING IN ON THOSE OTHER TWO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, WHY DO WE THINK THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO DIG IN A LITTLE BIT DEEPER ON THIS ONE, WHEN THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THEIR MOST COMPLAINED ABOUT ALREADY WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITY? BECAUSE WE'VE ON OUR DESIGN, WE ALREADY HAVE TWO DECELERATION LANES ADDED TO ON THAT CORNER SECTION.
SO WE'VE ALREADY INCLUDED TWO DECELERATION LANES.
WE'VE ALREADY INCLUDED A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF WE CALL FLAT WORK SITE WORK SITE CONCRETE TO ALLOW US TO PUT OUR PARENTS WE'RE GOING TO ACTUALLY HAVE TWO SPECIFIC PIECES OF PARKING AND, AND THEN A PARENT DROP OFF LANE, WHICH IS COMPLETELY SEPARATE FROM THAT. AGAIN, I THINK, BUT WE DIDN'T DO THAT WITH THE FREEMAN AND KIMBERLIN? WE HAVE; WE'VE DONE THAT WITH THOSE TWO CAMPUSES--BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH.
BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH, THAT'S CORRECT. SO, SO I GET I'M TRYING TO THINK HOW TO SOMEONE HELP ME HERE.
I GET THAT WE THOUGHT OF IT AND I GET THAT WE'RE TRYING, BUT IF WE'VE ALREADY DONE IT IN THOSE TWO AND IT'S NOT ENOUGH, WHY DO WE THINK THAT THE THIRD ONE WE'VE DONE IT IN IS GOING TO BE ENOUGH? AT THIS POINT, MY DESIGN TEAM FEELS THAT IT'S ENOUGH.
[00:35:01]
NOW I WILL SHARE WITH YOU THIS. WE DO NOT HAVE A COMPLETED TIA FOR THE LINDA GRIFFIN PROJECT AT THIS TIME.MY STANCE MAY CHANGE UPON RECEIPT OF THAT, BUT AT THIS POINT, THE INFORMATION THAT I'M RECEIVING FROM THE DESIGN TEAM, THEY DON'T FEEL CONCERNED ABOUT THE INFORMATION THAT WE'VE GOTTEN SO FAR. OKAY.
THANK YOU, MR. MILLER. YEAH. I WANT TO CONTINUE ON WITH THAT DISCUSSION.
I MEAN, SOME OF WHAT I HEAR FROM YOU CONCERNS ME.
SOME MAYBE WE CAN MAYBE CAN BE WIRED AROUND. A GOOD SOLUTION CAN BE MAINTAINED.
WHAT YOU'RE CALLING A DECELERATION LANE. IS THAT JUST A KIND OF A RIGHT TURN LANE OR LEFT TURN LANE KIND OF THING? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? YES, SIR. WHAT IT IS, IS WE IMPACT DECELERATION LANES IS WHERE YOU'RE ADDING.
YOU'RE ADDING TO THE EXISTING CITY STREET. SO YOU'RE TAKING THE CITY STREET, AND THEN YOU'RE ADDING A LANE, A SMALLER LANE THAT GETS YOU OFF. IF IT'S IF YOUR PROPERTY IS ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, YOU'LL GET YOU OFF THAT RIGHT HAND SIDE LANE, YOU'LL CREATE A SEPARATE LANE. THEY'RE TYPICALLY ABOUT 100FT 150FT IS WHAT THEY REQUEST FOR YOU.
SO YOU CAN GET OFF OF THE MAIN TRAFFIC FLOW, BUT THAT'S A COST THAT IS BURIED.
IT'S A STREET, BUT IT'S BURIED BY THE PROJECT, NOT BY THE CITY.
THAT IS CORRECT. IS THAT A THREE WAY OR IS THAT WHERE THE HILLCREST CUTS THROUGH THERE BY THE POST OFFICE? IT'S BY WHERE THE POST OFFICE IS.
IT'S SPLITS THERE. IT IS. IT'S NOT IT'S NOT A TRUE.
IT'S NOT A TRUE INTERSECTION. NOW, HOW WOULD THEY LINE THAT UP? THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
THAT'S AT THE THREE WAY TRAFFIC LIGHT, RIGHT? IT IS. IT IS NOT A IT IS. IT DOES NOT LINE UP CORRECTLY.
I'VE ACTUALLY GONE ON HILLCREST AND TRIED TO TURN LEFT WHEN I'M ON HILLCREST AT FREEMAN AND TRYING TO TURN LEFT ON WALNUT AND IT'S A LITTLE ODD BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT THIS ROAD THAT'S COMING FROM THE FROM THE POST OFFICE.
IT DOESN'T LINE UP CORRECTLY WITH RESPECT TO THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.
DO YOU THINK THERE WILL BE FEES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT ONCE THEY'VE BEEN STUDIED? OH, WE PAY FOR--THE TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS ARE PAID AS PART OF THE PROJECT.
I'M TALKING ABOUT INCREASED TRAFFIC IN THE AREA.
WILL THERE BE A STREETS AND ROADS ASSESSMENT, OR WILL THERE BE ANY THING THAT GOES ALONG WITH THAT? I REMEMBER WHEN I REDID MY BANK AT BAYLOR HOSPITAL, TOOK IT FROM A DOCTOR'S OFFICE TO A BANK, WHICH REDUCED TRAFFIC FLOW BY ABOUT 75%. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME A A TRAFFIC ASSESSMENT FEE, IF YOU WILL. ROAD ASSESSMENT FEE, IF YOU WILL, AND IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO NEGOTIATE THAT.
SO I JUST WONDER IF YOU'VE RUN INTO THAT AT ALL.
SO WE ARE A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION EQUAL TO THE CITY.
SO BECAUSE OF THAT, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'VE WORKED WITH THE CITY ON IS THAT AND I'VE SHARED THIS WITH THEM, I'VE ACTUALLY HAD TO SEND IT TO ALL THREE CITIES.
THOSE IMPACT FEES OR THOSE ROAD FEES THAT, THAT, THAT THEY REQUIRE.
NOW, WE DO HAVE TO PAY OUR REGULAR FEES THAT WE HAVE TO PAY, BUT ANY ADDITIONAL FEES THAT THEY WOULD BESTOW UPON A REGULAR DEVELOPER IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO PAY. SO APPROXIMATELY WHAT WOULD AN INTERSECTION WITH TRAFFIC LIGHTS COST US? HOW MUCH WOULD THAT RUN IT UP? YOU'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT AN ADDITIONAL ROUGHLY ABOUT 2 TO 225, 225,000. THE LAST ONE I DID WAS SEVERAL YEARS BACK WAS 125-150.
LAST ONE I DID. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THE BOARD? THANK YOU, MR. FERNANDEZ. YES, SIR. THANK YOU.
OKAY. THAT WILL TAKE US TO ITEM FOUR B RECEIVE THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN PRESENTATION ON BOND 2023.
[IV.B. Receive Schematic Design Presentation on Bond 2023 Safety Perimeter Fencing at all High School, Middle School, and Special Service Campus Locations]
SAFETY PERIMETER FENCING AT ALL HIGH SCHOOLS, MIDDLE SCHOOL AND SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPUS LOCATIONS.THIS IS OUR PHASE TWO FENCING PROJECT. THIS IS OUR SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR OUR PERIMETER FENCING, AND SO THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT HERE THIS IS THIS HAS TO DO WITH OUR HIGH SCHOOLS, MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND SPECIAL PROGRAM FACILITIES.
[00:40:07]
WINSLOW WHO WILL BE PRESENTING IF YOU WANT TO COME FORWARD AND THEY WILL ACTUALLY PROVIDE THE PRESENTATION FOR YOU TODAY AND GO OVER THIS PROJECT FOR YOU. SO IF YOU WANT TO USE YOURSELF AND THEN JUST USE THE ARROW UP RIGHT NOW.ALL RIGHT. PERFECT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT. GOOD AFTERNOON. MR. BEACH, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
DR. LOPEZ AND STAFF. MY NAME IS TARA ORTIZ. I'M A PRINCIPAL WITH ORCUTT WINSLOW.
WITH ME IS BRIAN HARLAND. HE IS AN ASSOCIATE WITH THE FIRM, AND SO WE ARE HERE THIS AFTERNOON TO PRESENT THE PHASE TWO FENCING SAFETY PERIMETER FENCING. AGAIN, AS JAVIER MENTIONED, FOR THE HIGH SCHOOLS, MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPUSES.
I'M NOT GOING TO GO THROUGH THE TABLE OF CONTENTS. WE'LL JUST GO AHEAD AND JUMP INTO THE PROJECT.
SUMMARY. OUR PRIMARY OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROJECT IS SIMILAR TO THE PHASE ONE FENCING, WHICH HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY PRESENTED TO THE BOARD TO COMPLY WITH THE TEXAS ADMINISTRATIVE CODE 61 1031. THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THAT CODE IS TO ENSURE A SECURED EXTERIOR PERIMETER FOR CAMPUSES THAT IS, VIA A FENCE OR WALL. THAT'S NON-SCALABLE.
AGAIN, IT CAN GO AROUND THE PERIMETER. IT CAN GO SEGMENTED.
THERE'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS YOU CAN ADDRESS THAT. ALSO TO BE EASILY MAINTAINABLE AND THEN ALSO TO PROVIDE LOCKED GATES WITH EMERGENCY EGRESS FOR THE PHASE TWO PERIMETER PERIMETER FENCING. WE ARE ADAPTING THE REQUIREMENTS OF TAC 61.1031 SIMILAR AS WE DID FOR PHASE ONE.
WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO AVOID AS MANY VEHICULAR GATES AS POSSIBLE ON THESE.
WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO CREATE AN INSTITUTIONAL APPEARANCE, AND OVERALL, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ENCLOSING AS MANY DOORS WITHIN THE FENCED AREA AS POSSIBLE. AS WE HAVE DISCUSSED.
THIS INCLUDES 23 TOTAL CAMPUSES. THAT'S 12 OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS, SEVEN OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS AND FOUR OF THE SPECIAL SERVICE FACILITIES, AND OBVIOUSLY, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE MAP, WE'RE IN ALL THREE MUNICIPALITIES.
JUST TO KIND OF REITERATE, AS I MENTIONED BEFORE IN TERMS OF THE FENCING AND GATES, WE'VE TRIED TO PROVIDE A REPRESENTATION OF WHAT EACH OF THESE GATES AND FENCING LOOKS LIKE. UP HERE IN THE TOP ITEM NUMBER ONE, THAT IS A REPRESENTATION OF THE SIX FOOT HIGH DECORATIVE METAL FENCE.
AGAIN THAT'S STEEL. IT WILL BE PREFINISHED WITH BLACK, SO IT'LL BE EASILY MAINTAINABLE.
THE PHOTO DOWN BELOW IS TYPICAL CHAIN LINK FENCE.
HOWEVER, WE'RE NOT JUST USING GALVANIZED. WE ACTUALLY ARE GOING TO HAVE THAT BLACK VINYL COATED.
SO IT'LL DRESS IT UP A LITTLE BIT, AND THEN WE HAVE THE GATES WHICH ARE SHOWING OUR PANIC HARDWARE DISTRICT APPROVED CARD ACCESS. THAT WILL BE PUT ONTO ANY OF THE GATES WITHIN THE WROUGHT IRON FENCING, AND THEN CHAIN LINK WILL BE SECURED BY BOLTS AND HASP, AND THEN IT CAN ALSO BE MODIFIED THE CHAIN LINK GATES WITH ACTUALLY PANIC HARDWARE AND CARD ACCESS AS IT'S REQUIRED.
WE WERE TASKED WITH COMING UP WITH ACTUALLY TWO OPTIONS PER SITE.
OPTION ONE IS ESSENTIALLY FOR THE ENTIRE PERIMETER OF THE CAMPUS.
THERE ARE SOME PROS AND CONS TO EACH OF THESE, WHICH I WON'T GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL, BUT THE OPTION TWO IS MORE OF A SEGMENTED PERIMETER APPROACH. SO THAT'S BRINGING THE FENCING A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE BUILDING IN SOME CASES.
AS YOU KNOW, AS WE START GETTING INTO SOME OF THE LARGER CAMPUSES AND AS DR.
LOPEZ MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, EVERY CAMPUS IS UNIQUE AND HAS ITS OWN CHARACTERISTICS.
SO THERE REALLY ISN'T ALWAYS A11 APPROACH FITS ALL.
SO WE LOOKED AT TWO DIFFERENT OPTIONS AS WE WENT THROUGH THIS.
WE ALSO WORKED WITH VARIOUS DISTRICT STAKEHOLDERS, WHICH INCLUDED NOT ONLY THE FACILITIES DEPARTMENT, BUT ALSO TRANSPORTATION THE EDL'S SECURITY, ETC.
SO THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF EYES LOOKING ON THESE OPTIONS AS WE'VE GONE THROUGH THAT.
SO I'M GOING TO TURN THIS OVER TO BRIAN TO PRESENT THE THREE EXAMPLES THAT WE HAVE FOR YOU TONIGHT.
[00:45:01]
YES. AS WE MENTIONED, WE'RE DOING THE HIGH SCHOOLS, MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND THE SPECIAL SERVICES, SPECIAL SERVICE CAMPUSES, AND WE BROUGHT AN EXAMPLE OF EACH ONE.THE FIRST EXAMPLE WE'RE SHOWING YOU IS HUDSON MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE BEST OPTION HERE, THE BEST APPROACH WAS THAT OPTION TWO, THE SEGMENTED APPROACH IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN CALLING IT.
THE RED REPRESENTS THE SIX FOOT HIGH DECORATIVE METAL OVER BY BY THE BUILDING ITSELF, AND THEN THAT ALLEY RIGHT BETWEEN THERE OFF OF HUDSON IS WHERE THE PARENTS QUEUE AND THE BEST APPROACH OR THE BEST, SMOOTHEST TRANSITION THAT THE CAMPUS DECIDED WAS LET THOSE PARENTS DRIVE ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
THE QUEUING IS IN THE BACK. SO THAT WAS THIS MADE A SMOOTH, MUCH SMOOTHER TRANSITION.
THIS OPTION TWO. SO THAT WAS THAT'S THAT CAMPUS, AND HERE'S A KIND OF A RENDERING RENDERING OF IT.
SECOND OPTION IS SEXY HIGH SCHOOL, AND AGAIN WE WENT WITH OPTION TWO.
YOU CANNOT QUEUE ON MILES ROAD ON THE EAST. YOU HAVE TO QUEUE WITHIN YOUR SITE, WITHIN THE CAMPUS.
SO THEREFORE IT'S THE NORTH SIDE IS WHERE THEY BEGIN QUEUING, AND THEN THEY DROP OFF IN BETWEEN THE FIELDS AND THE SCHOOL BUILDING, AND THEN THEY DROP OFF RIGHT THERE IN THE KIND OF ON THAT WEST SIDE, AND THEN THEY CAN KIND OF TRANSITION ON OUT TO THE CAMPUS, AND AGAIN, THE RED ALL AROUND THE CAMPUS, AROUND THE BUILDING ITSELF IS GOING TO BE THE DECORATIVE METAL.
THAT'S KIND OF THAT VIEW TO THE BACKSIDE OF THE BUILDING, AND THEN GILBREATH-REED THE CTC, THIS WAS THE OPTION ONE WAS THE BEST APPROACH HERE.
A LOT OF VISUAL. VISUAL FROM GEORGE BUSH HIGHWAY.
YOU HAVE CULWELL ON THE NORTHWEST, AND THEN YOU HAVE NAAMAN FOREST ON THE BACK SIDE.
NO CHAIN LINK AT ALL JUST BECAUSE OF THE VISIBILITY.
SO THEN IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, WE'LL SHOW YOU THIS.
OH I'M SORRY. YEAH. IT'S JUST THE HIGH VISIBILITY FROM THE GEORGE BUSH FREEWAY.
SO WE DECIDED, WELL, A THE TRAFFIC FLOW DETERMINED THE FACT THAT WE FELT LIKE WE SHOULD, SHOULD GO AHEAD AND FENCE IN THAT STUDENT PARKING. THEN HERE'S OUR APPROACH. STUDENTS WOULD WALK ACROSS NAAMAN FOREST BOULEVARD FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL, AND THAT'S THEIR APPROACH. YEAH, AND THEN WITH THAT, I WILL TURN IT BACK TO TARA, AND SHE WILL GO THROUGH THE OPINION OF PROBABLE CAUSE. YES. THANK YOU. SO WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH OUR THIRD PARTY COST ESTIMATORS SINCE THIS IS GOING TO BE A CSP PROJECT.
THE PRICING IS EFFECTIVE HERE AS SHOWN. AS OF FEBRUARY OF 2025 OBVIOUSLY UNTIL THE PROJECT IS ACTUALLY BID AND PROCURED THAT PRICING CAN CHANGE GIVEN THE ECONOMY THAT WE'RE IN, IN TERMS OF WHERE WE'RE AT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PHASE TWO FENCING OVERALL PROJECT COST. WE ARE AT OUR BASE COST OF 8,600,000 THAT IS ENCOMPASSING A MIXTURE OF, YOU KNOW, OPTION ONE AND OPTION TWO. WE ALSO HAVE PROVIDED A 5% CONTRACTOR CONTINGENCY OF ABOUT 430,000, BRINGING OUR PROJECT ANTICIPATED COST TO JUST OVER 9 MILLION.
THE PROJECT PROJECT BUDGET FOR THIS IS 9.3. SO WE ARE STILL TRACKING POSITIVELY THAT THIS PROJECT WILL BE WITHIN THE BUDGET IN TERMS OF A CONCEPTUAL SCHEDULE WE HAVE IDENTIFIED HERE.
WE ARE CURRENTLY AS AS WE ARE HERE TONIGHT TO PRESENT THE SD.
OUR ANTICIPATION IS THAT WE WILL HAVE APPROVAL TO MOVE FORWARD AND THEN BE MOVING INTO OUR CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS, ULTIMATELY INTO CDS, AND THEN HOPEFULLY STARTING CONSTRUCTION PROBABLY WITHIN THE AUGUST AUGUST TO OCTOBER TIME FRAME, DEPENDING ON PERMITTING. SO OVERALL, OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE THIS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED BY NEXT SUMMER.
[00:50:08]
JULY, AND SO AS A SUMMARY, AS WE'VE ALREADY KIND OF MENTIONED YOU KNOW, OUR GOAL HERE IS TO, YOU KNOW, ENSURE THAT ALL OF THE CAMPUSES, ALL 23 HERE THAT PRESENTED THIS EVENING ARE SECURE FROM A PERIMETER PERSPECTIVE.TRYING TO DO THAT VIA NON-SCALABLE MAINTAINABLE FENCING EITHER 6 FOOT OR 8 FOOT TRYING TO KEEP IT AS AS FRIENDLY AS POSSIBLE ALONG THE FRONT OF THE CAMPUSES TRYING TO MINIMIZE CROSSOVER WITH PEDESTRIANS AND VEHICULAR.
SO JUST TRYING TO MAKE THEM A VERY SAFE SITE.
AS I MENTIONED, WE'VE BEEN WORKING REALLY CLOSELY WITH THE DISTRICT LEADERSHIP, TRANSPORTATION CENTRAL SECURITY, THE EDLS. WE CAME UP WITH TWO OPTIONS. WE'VE VETTED THOSE OPTIONS WITH ALL OF THOSE ENTITIES THAT I JUST LISTED, AND THEN ULTIMATELY, AS A COLLECTIVE, CAME UP WITH THE BEST SUITED APPROACH FOR EACH CAMPUS TO DIRECT TO ADDRESS THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF EACH CAMPUS. SO WITH THAT WE'RE OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE.
ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD? I'VE GOT ONE I WAS GOING TO ASK, TOO.
I NOTICED ON ONE OF THE RENDERINGS THAT YOU HAD OF DRAWINGS I THINK THE GOAL ON ALL OF THESE, ESPECIALLY FOR SACHSE HIGH SCHOOL, I'M KIND OF CURIOUS.
I KNOW WE WERE TRYING TO FEED ALL THE EVERYBODY WHEN WE DID THIS FENCING TO COME TO THE FRONT DOOR, AND SO I CAN'T REALLY TELL. IS THAT THE ONE THAT YOU SHOWED THERE, THAT PICTURE, DOES THAT GO OUT TO MILES ROAD? IS THAT TAKEN? DOES THAT GO ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE STREET? THE FENCING ITSELF? YES. NO, SIR. NO, SIR. IT DOES NOT? NO, SIR, AND THE RED UP AGAINST THE BUILDING.
THAT'S WHAT REPRESENTS OUR. THAT'S WHAT IS OUR FENCING OVER HERE.
OKAY, HERE IT IS. OKAY. THERE YOU GO. SO WHAT WITH WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO IS IS SECURE.
I THINK I'D SAY 99% OF THE DOORS WITH EXTERIOR DOORS, WHICH IS OUR MAIN TASK WAS TO.
OUR TASK WAS TO COVER THOSE EXTERIOR DOORS THAT HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO THE SCHOOL ITSELF.
WHETHER IT'S A CORRIDOR, A CAFETERIA, WHATEVER IT COULD BE, THERE'S SOME DOORS THAT MAY NOT BE COVERED, BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE MAINTENANCE. MAYBE THEY'RE A FIRE RISER ROOM THAT'S THAT DOESN'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE SCHOOL.
SO THE WHERE THE RED IS SHOWN, WE'RE COVERING ALL THOSE EXTERIOR DOORS.
PERFECT. OKAY. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS. STANLEY.
