AGAIN, THE CHART THAT'S THERE IS IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF ALL 39 SITES.

BUT 10 OF THE SCHOOLS ARE ARE COMPLETE. AND AND YOU'LL SEE THAT TWO ARE YET TO BE UNDER CONSTRUCTION.

AND SO THAT CHART IS IT'S MISSING A COUPLE OF SCHOOLS, BUT AS THEY GET COMPLETED, THEY'LL FALL OFF AND THE NEW ONES WILL JUMP ON ON THAT PROJECT THERE. SO PLAYGROUNDS MOVING VERY, VERY WELL.

ELEMENTARY FENCING. WE'VE STARTED THE SUBMITTAL PROCESS FOR THAT, AND WE'VE, WE'VE HAD WORK THAT'S TAKEN PLACE.

SO BEAR WITH US, BUT YOU'RE GOING TO START TO SEE SOME FENCING GOING ON IN ALL OUR ELEMENTARIES AND PRE-K CENTERS AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT PROJECT AND GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THAT FENCING IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE, THAT'S A PHOTO OF A OF A FENCE TYPE THAT'S GOING TO BE INSTALLED AT ALL OUR CAMPUSES, OUR FIRE ALARM.

OTHER THAN THAT, A LOT OF THE WORK IS TAKING PLACE ON THE FIRE ALARM PORTIONS, SECURITY CAMERA REFRESH AS WELL.

SOME OF THESE ARE 0'S BECAUSE WE'RE JUST STARTING OFF, BUT SOME OF THESE HAVE GOT 60%, FOR EXAMPLE, ARMSTRONG. AND SO WE'RE WORKING THROUGH THIS AND IN CONJUNCTION WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT WE'VE GOT GOING ON.

ACCESS CONTROL WE'VE GOT SUBMITTALS HAVE BEEN DONE FOR THOSE WE'RE GOING TO WE SHOULD BE GETTING PERMITS FOR SOME OF THESE AND THEN MOVING FORWARD WITH WITH OUR PURCHASE ORDERS FOR THIS AS WELL. SO THIS IS, THIS IS REALLY MOVING FAST.

AND SO LINDA GRIFFIN, LINDA L GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY, WE PLAN TO BRING YOU A RECOMMENDATION FOR GMP NUMBER 1 LATER IN THIS BOARD MEETING TO GO OVER THAT. AND THAT IS THE MONTCLAIR DEMOLITION FOR THE SITE PERMIT REVIEW.

IT IS STILL ONGOING. AND WE LOOK TO HAVE, A FINISHING UP OUR 100% 90% DOCUMENTS THAT'S BEEN DONE.

AND SO LOOKING TO PUSH OUT THAT THAT PROJECT GMP NUMBER 2 IS ACTUALLY HIT THE STREET.

AND SO WORKING TOWARD WORKING THROUGH THAT WITH OUR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK, WHICH IS CORE CONSTRUCTION.

AND THE DESIGNER OF RECORD ON THIS PROJECT IS WRA.

THE CARSON-MULKEY AGRICULTURE SCIENCE CENTER.

YOU CAN SEE THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE.

WE ARE PART OF OUR PRESENTATION TONIGHT IS WE'VE GOT A INFORMATION ITEM THAT WE'RE BRINGING BACK AT THE REQUEST OF THE BOARD, AND ASK THIS FOR SOME MORE INFORMATION OF THE AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE CENTER.

AND SO WE HAVE A VOK PRESENT WHO WILL BE PROVIDING SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO THE BOARD SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THIS PROJECT AFTER THIS PRESENTATION.

SOUTH GARLAND, NORTH GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL, THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE, WE ARE PLANNING ON BRINGING IN 2 SEPARATE GMP'S.

1 GMP FOR THE ROOF PACKAGE. THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF ROOF WORK THAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE FOR THESE 2 CAMPUSES.

AND SO TO THE TO THE BETTERMENT OF THE PROJECT AND THE DISTRICT, THAT PROJECT IS, HAS BEEN BROKEN UP INTO 2 SEPARATE GMP'S ONE TO HANDLE THE ROOF AND THEN

[00:10:03]

NORTH LAKE ROWLETT AND TOWLER. WE ARE GETTING PRETTY CLOSE TO ISSUING THAT OUT TO THE STREET.

THAT'S THAT'S COMING IN NEXT MONTH, AND WE'LL BE ISSUING FOR SOLICITATION.

YOU CAN SEE THIS THE TIMELINE THAT THAT IS ABOVE.

AND SO AGAIN, THAT'S THE ENHANCEMENTS FOR THOSE 3 CAMPUSES THAT YOU SEE THERE.

SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT ONE VERY RAPIDLY.

OUR 23 CAMPUSES FOR THE FENCING, WHICH IS OUR HIGH SCHOOLS, MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND SPECIAL SERVICES, WE STILL GOT SOME VETTING TO DO WITH ABOUT THERE'S ABOUT 4 OR 5 CAMPUSES THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH WITH ADMINISTRATION.

WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF DESIGNS ON IT. WE'RE REVISING THE DESIGNS SPECIFICALLY TO THOSE SPECIFIC CAMPUSES, AND WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THIS RIGHT BEFORE WE ACTUALLY PUT THIS OUT FOR SOLICITATION.

SO VETTING THAT OUT, WE SHOULD HAVE THAT DONE HERE WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK AND A HALF OR TWO.

BEAVER TECHNOLOGY. AS I STATED IN PREVIOUS BOARD MEETING, WE'VE COMBINED BEAVER TECHNOLOGY, GARLAND HIGH SCHOOL AND CARVER. WE'RE PUSHING ALL THOSE OUT AT THE SAME TIME TO GET THAT WORK TAKEN CARE OF.

AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE'VE DONE ON OUR HVAC CONTROLS.

THAT'S THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE FOR THE CAMPUSES.

THE CAMPUSES THAT THAT ARE PART OF THIS PROJECT AND OUR LOCAL AREA NETWORK.

A LOT OF WORK HAS TAKEN PLACE THERE. OUR HUB SITES THAT CLOSE OUT IS IN PROGRESS.

THE METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK, THAT ONE'S ALSO CLOSED OUT SOME PROGRESS.

AND OUR DISTRICT NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE EQUIPMENT THAT'S THE EQUIPMENT THAT GOES IN AT THE CCC AND OUR TECHNOLOGY KNOCK NOT WHAT WE CALL THE TECHNOLOGY. KNOCK IS A REMINDER THAT OUR OUR NETWORK SYSTEM HERE IN THE DISTRICT, IT'S IT IS VERY ROBUST SYSTEM AND IT'S IT USES A SYSTEM WHERE IT'S GOT THE PRIMARY WE'VE GOT A BACKUP SYSTEM.

SO OUR, OUR MAJORITY OF OUR SERVICES ARE OFFERED THROUGH THE TECHNOLOGY KNOCK AND THEN THE BACKUP SYSTEMS AT THE CCC SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE EQUIPMENT AT 2 SPECIFIC SITES THERE. THERE'S A REDUNDANCY, IF YOU WILL.

SOUTH GARLAND, NORTH GARLAND, LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL. THIS IS OUR ATHLETIC PACKAGE.

GETTING READY TO WORK ON THAT, PUSHING THAT OUT.

THIS MONTH WE WILL BE PUSHING OUT THE SOLICITATION FOR THAT WORKING WITH OUR PROCUREMENT GROUP.

THAT ONE, THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK IS A SATTERFIELD PONTICUS, AND THE DESIGN FIRM IS HKS.

THEY'VE BEEN WORKING VERY, VERY HARD ON THIS ONE TO GET THIS SET UP RIGHT FOR OUR CAMPUSES.

SO I THINK, AGAIN, I THINK OUR COMMUNITY IS GOING TO BE VERY THRILLED WHEN THEY SEE THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE AT THREE CAMPUSES.

IT'S GOING TO MAKE THEM IN LINE WITH WHAT THE SERVICES AND THE FACILITIES THAT WE OFFER AT OUR OTHER REMAINING HIGH SCHOOLS.

AGAIN, THIS IS A REMINDER WHAT THIS IS. THIS IS PROVIDING BLEACHER SPECTATOR BLEACHERS, PROVIDING A PRESS BOX, RESTROOMS FOR THE SPECTATORS PROVIDING A TICKET BOOTH, A SOUND SYSTEM, A LIGHTING FOR SPORTS LIGHTING FOR THEM, AND NORTH GARLAND, SOUTH GARLAND. THEY'RE GOING TO GET A NEW TRACK RUNNING TRACK FOR THEM.

AND SO AND THEY ALSO GET A NEW FOOTBALL FIELD.

IT'S GOING TO BE CONVERTED. THEY'VE GOT AN OLD TURF SYSTEM. IT'S GOING TO BE UPGRADED TO THE NEW TURF SYSTEM. LAKEVIEW CENTENNIAL WILL ACTUALLY GET A PRESS BOX AND SPECTATOR BLEACHES ALONG WITH CONCESSIONS AND RESTROOMS. AND SO I THINK I THINK THE COMMUNITY WILL WILL WELCOME THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE AT THESE SPECIFIC CAMPUSES ONCE WE'RE DONE.

THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROJECT.

THIS IS AUSTIN, HOUSTON, JACKSON, ABBOTT AND BRADFIELD.

SO WHAT WE HAVE DONE WITH THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT IS WE'VE GOT ABBOTT AND BRADFIELD, THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE.

IT'S ALL SWITCHGEAR RELATED, MEANING SWITCHGEAR IS ELECTRICAL WORK.

SO WE'VE GOT SOME SWITCHGEAR REPLACEMENT THAT HAS TO BE DONE AT ABBOTT AND BRADFIELD.

WE'VE TAKEN THAT AND WE'VE SEPARATED THAT OUT.

WE HAVE SOME EXISTING CONTRACTS THAT THE DISTRICT ALREADY HAS AND THAT THE BOARD HAS APPROVED FOR US TO UTILIZE ELECTRICAL CONTRACTS.

AND SO WE'RE WE'RE SOLICITING THAT WORK DIRECTLY WITH THAT SPECIFIC CONTRACT.

WE ARE WORKING WITH THE DESIGN FIRM, WHICH IS STANTEC, THAT'S GOING TO TAKE AUSTIN, HOUSTON AND JACKSON.

THAT SPECIFIC WORK IS GOING TO BE PUSHED OUT AS A CSP SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT WORK.

IN ADDITION TO THAT WHEN THE STANTEC PRESENTED TO YOU? THE SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR THIS PROJECT? THEY SHARED WITH YOU A NEED AT AUSTIN ACADEMY AND A NEED FOR A PROPOSED PARKING LOT EXPANSION AT AUSTIN. AND SO THAT WAS PRESENTED AT THAT TIME IN THE INTEREST OF GETTING THIS PROJECT DONE AND EVERYTHING DONE QUICKLY FOR THE BETTERMENT OF THE DISTRICT THE, THE FACILITY WORK IS BEING ISSUED OUT AS ONE CSP AND

[00:15:08]

WE'VE THANK YOU FOR APPROVING GMP NUMBER1, WHICH WAS APPROVED ON IN SEPTEMBER.

AND WE PLAN TO BRING YOU THAT GMP NUMBER 2 HERE WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO, WE WILL BE BRINGING TO YOU GMP NUMBER TWO, WHICH IS THE ACTUAL FACILITY. THE SITE PACKAGE WAS APPROVED.

AND SO WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT. WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO WRAPPING UP, PERMITTING ON ON THAT PIECE THERE FOR THE SITE WORK.

THE GRCTC ADDITION, WHICH IS PHASE 4 BIT PACK 1.

WE CONDUCTED A KICKOFF MEETING BACK IN SEPTEMBER.

WE'VE HELD SEVERAL DISCOVERY PLANNING AND DISCOVERY MEETINGS WITH OUR CTE DEPARTMENT, ALONG WITH THE CAMPUS.

AND SO WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE WE UNDERSTAND THE PROGRAM THAT IS BEING REQUESTED AT THAT FACILITY.

AND NOW WE'RE MOVING FORWARD. WE'RE WE'RE MOVING FORWARD FROM THE PLANNING AND DISCOVERY INTO THE DESIGN PHASE FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT HERE, ROWLETT AND SACHSE. WE HAD A KICKOFF MEETING IN SEPTEMBER, AND WE'RE STILL IN THE DISCOVERY PHASE FOR THAT PROJECT.

AGAIN, ROWLETT AND SACHSE RENOVATION, VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT WE'RE DOING AT NORTH GARLAND AND SOUTH GARLAND.

YOUR STANDARD. WE'VE GOT THE AUDITORIUM, AUDITORIUM RENOVATIONS, WE'VE GOT DANCE SPACE RENOVATIONS, AND AND THERE ARE SOME OTHER MAINTENANCE ITEMS THAT ARE BEING TAKEN CARE OF AT THESE FACILITIES AS WELL.

SO OUR NEW MEMORIAL PATHWAY ACADEMY AND STUDENT SERVICES CENTER, THAT IS A SEPARATE FACILITY WHERE WE'RE COMBINING THOSE 2 PROGRAMS, AND WE'RE ENCOMPASSING THOSE 2 PROGRAMS IN A NEW FACILITY TO BE BUILT AT THE HBJ FACILITY.

THAT IS GOING TO BE THERE. SO WE'VE GOT SOME REALLY GOOD PROGRESS MEETINGS THAT WE'VE HAD WITH WITH THE DESIGN FIRM GLENN PARTNERS AND THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK FOR THAT ONE IS CORE CONSTRUCTION.

WE FINISHED THE DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND MOVING INTO CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS. AND SO WE'VE GOT A REALLY GOOD PLAN ON HOW WE'RE GOING TO SERVICE THESE 2, THESE 2 PROGRAMS. AND SO WE LOOK WE LOOK TO BE MOVING JUST FINE ON THAT PARTICULAR PROJECT.

OUR PROP C YOU CAN SEE THE WORK THAT'S TAKING PLACE THERE.

STUDENT STAFF, COMPUTER REPLACEMENTS DEPLOYMENTS ABOUT 65%.

AND OUR IPADS. YOU CAN SEE WE'RE CLOSING OUT THE PHASE 1 OF THE IPADS.

AND THEN THE PHASE 2 DEPLOYMENT IS SCHEDULED FOR THIS MONTH THROUGH FEBRUARY.

THAT'S THE UPDATE THAT WE HAVE FOR THIS MONTH, AND WE'RE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MAY HAVE IN RELATION TO ANY SPECIFIC PROJECT. ANY QUESTIONS, MR.. GLICK? THANK YOU SIR.

CAN WE GO BACK TO PAGE 43, PLEASE? YES, SIR. SO THIS IS ON THE GRCTC ADDITIONS.

WILL THERE BE ANY POINT WHERE THE BOARD HAS ANY INPUT INTO WHAT PROJECTS ARE PUT INTO THE NEW 32 33,000 SQUARE FOOT ADDITION.

WE'RE GOING AHEAD AND WE'RE WE'RE DOING A MARKET ANALYSIS OF WHAT'S GOING TO BE TAKING PLACE AT THIS THE SITE THE SITE THAT THE EXPANSION THAT WE'RE DOING ISN'T, I WOULD SAY A GRAND, BIG, HUGE SITE.

IT'S A LOT OF SQUARE FOOTAGE, BUT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AT PLACING THERE IS ALSO GOING TO BE VERY RELATED TO WHAT THE MARKET SHOWS.

AND PARTICULAR PROGRAMS WILL TAKE THE MAJORITY OF THE SITE.

AND ONCE WE SECURE WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE, WE'LL PRESENT THEM TO THE BOARD.

SO I'M NOT SURE. WILL WE HAVE ANY INPUT? WELL, I MEAN, WE'RE DOING A MARKET ANALYSIS ON WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, AND THAT'S THAT'S THE ROUTE THAT WE'RE TAKING.

WE'RE GETTING AWAY FROM LIKE, LET'S JUST SAY HOBBIES OR INTERESTS OR WHAT WE THINK THESE THESE ARE LIKE SOLID LEADS THAT THE MARKET IS SHOWING THAT IN OUR AREA IN THE DALLAS FORT WORTH AREA.

WE'LL COME IN AND THEN WE'LL PRESENT THOSE TO THE BOARD. OKAY.

BECAUSE OVER THE PAST, I DON'T KNOW, LET'S CALL IT SEVERAL YEARS.

EVEN WHEN WE WERE CONTEMPLATING THE ADDITIONS, I'VE MADE A COUPLE OF SUGGESTIONS THAT I THOUGHT MIGHT BE MARKET ORIENTED.

THEY MAY NOT BE ANYMORE. ONE WAS CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND THE OTHER WAS FLIGHT MECHANICS AND PILOTS.

AGAIN, WE HAVE 2 OF THE LARGEST AIRLINES IN THE WORLD HEADQUARTERED RIGHT HERE.

[00:20:04]

THEY'VE BEEN NEGATED. BUT BE INTERESTING TO JUST KNOW WHERE THAT'S AT.

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

THANK YOU. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, PLEASE EXCUSE ME TILL MY COUGHING OF SO MUCH.

I'VE KIND OF GOT A SINUS HEADACHE, AND THE SINUSES ARE KILLING ME, BUT MY COUGHING GOT THAT TICKLE THAT TAKES US TO ITEM B,

[IV.B. Receive Presentation on PH2-BP02 Carson-Mulkey Agricultural Science Center Design Update – Javier Fernandez]

ALRIGHTY. PRESIDENT BEACH. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DOCTOR LOPEZ AT THE REQUEST OF THE BOARD WE ARE COMING BACK TO THE BOARD TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON THIS SPECIFIC PROJECT.

KIND OF THERE HAVE BEEN SOME MINOR CHANGES TO THE PROJECT, SO WE FELT THAT IT WAS APPROPRIATE TO BRING THAT BACK TO YOU.

WE'VE INVITED VOK, WHO IS THE DESIGNER OF RECORD FOR THIS TO COME IN AND PROVIDE YOU A PRESENTATION AND GIVING YOU AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE STAND THERE. SO AT THIS POINT, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE MARTY, WHO IS WHO'S REPRESENTING VOK.

THANK YOU. FANTASTIC. HAPPY TO BE HERE TO PROVIDE AN UPDATE.

HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE. I'M ASSUMING I JUST ADVANCE IT WITH THE ARROW. THERE WE GO.

SO THIS SHOULD LOOK MORE OR LESS IN LINE WITH WHAT WE SHOWED YOU LAST TIME.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. THE RENDERINGS ARE A LITTLE A LITTLE NICER.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE CONTINUED TO KIND OF REFINE THE SPACE AS WE GO.

I'M GOING TO FOCUS MAINLY ON SCOPE. BUT AGAIN, IF IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO ASK. SO THIS IS THE FRONT DRIVEWAY HERE. AND THE, THE MAIN ENTRY OF THE OF WHAT WILL BE THE SHOW ARENA.

THERE'S A LOBBY AREA KIND OF JUST PAST THE OVERHANG.

IT IS A HIGH VOLUME. IT'S A METAL BUILDING, AS YOU GUYS WILL REMEMBER.

WE'RE FOCUSING THE, YOU KNOW, THE THE MORE EXPENSIVE MATERIALS ON THE ON THE FRONT FACADE THAT FACES PLEASANT VALLEY.

SO WE'VE GOT SOME NICE STONE THERE AND SOME METAL PANEL.

AND THEN WE'RE KIND OF MOVING AROUND TO AS YOU GET AROUND TO THE BACK SIDE, WE'RE LOOKING AT GETTING TO MORE KIND OF A BARN TYPE OF AN AGRARIAN ESTHETIC SO THAT WE CAN FOCUS THE MONEY IN THE, IN THE PLACE THAT'S GOING TO HAVE THE HIGHEST IMPACT.

THERE ARE DRIVES ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BUILDINGS.

THERE'S 3 MAIN BUILDINGS WHICH YOU'LL SEE IN THE SITE PLAN. BUT THE IDEA IS THAT THE TRAILERS AND EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS IS PROVIDED BETWEEN THE BUILDINGS, AND THERE ARE LARGE OPEN DOORS WITH COVERED WALKWAYS IN BETWEEN THAT ARE ABOVE YOU KNOW, THE FIRE TRUCKS WHERE THEY CAN GET UNDERNEATH.

THIS IS IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN KIND OF THE CAPACITY OF THINGS, THIS IS A TO SCALE AND YOU CAN KIND OF COMPARE ONE TO THE OTHER.

BUT THE GROSS ALLOCATIONS OF ANIMALS, WE'VE GOT PENS FOR 46 CATTLE, WHICH IS ROUGHLY 1600 SQUARE FEET.

45 GOATS AND SHEEP FOR 4,520 AND 53 SWINE FOR 4,580.

AND THE VARIOUS COLORED BOXES HERE ARE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT ARE INCLUDED AND AND THEIR RELATIVE AREA.

SO THE PINK IS THE SHOW ARENA, WHICH IS KIND OF THE LARGEST SINGLE VOLUME AREA THAT WE HAVE.

THIS IS THE THE FLOOR PLAN ON THE SITE, SO IT'S KIND OF A ZOOMED IN SITE.

OBVIOUSLY THIS THE SITE ITSELF IS MUCH LARGER, BUT WE HAVE A, YOU KNOW, TWO AND A HALF, TWO AND A HALF ACRE KIND OF AREA TO TURN THE ANIMALS OUT IN THE LOWER LEFT. THE CATTLE BARN IS THE ORANGE PORTION DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

THE TOP LEFT IS GOAT, GOATS AND SHEEP UP TO THE TOP OF THAT BUILDING WITH THE WITH THE PINK BEING THE SWINE SHOW ARENA IS IN THE CENTER.

AND THE MEETING AREA IS UPPER RIGHT WITH THE MANUFACTURING LAB AND THE RESTROOMS THAT SERVICE THE SHOW ARENA.

AGAIN, A LITTLE BIT SIMILAR IMAGE HERE, BUT THESE ARE THE 3 BUILDINGS YOU CAN GET A FEEL FOR, FOR THE THREE SEPARATE METAL BUILDINGS THAT WE HAVE PARKING FOR PUBLIC UP FRONT, TRAILER STORAGE AROUND TO THE SERVICE SIDE, AS WELL AS AN AREA FOR DURING SHOWS FOR FOR TRAILERS TO BE PARKED FOR LOADING AND OFFLOADING.

THIS IS ANOTHER KIND OF 3D IMAGE. LOOKING AT THE KIND OF THE TRAILER AND PARKING AREA ON THE SERVICE SIDE OF THE BUILDING.

YOU CAN SEE THIS IS THE CATTLE BARN IN THE FOREGROUND HERE, AND THE IN THE FAR ON THE FAR END IS THE SWINE, SHEEP AND GOATS. WITH THE SHOW ARENA IS THE TALLER VOLUME SPACE IN THE CENTER WITH THE CONDITION SPACE TO THE RIGHT WITH WITH THE MEETING AREAS AND THE MANUFACTURING LAB. ANOTHER VIEW OF THE FRONT SHOWING THE SHEEP AND GOAT AREAS HERE WITH THE TURNOUT AREAS

[00:25:01]

YOU CAN ALSO SEE KIND OF UP TO THE TOP OF THE PAGE, THAT MAIN ENTRY TO THE SHOW ARENA.

SO BUDGET IS, IS TRACKING THERE ARE SOME GEOTECHNICAL KIND OF INFORMATION THAT WE UPDATED THE ADMINISTRATION ON.

I'M NOT GOING TO GET TOO INTO DETAIL HERE, BUT THE BUT THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO DO THE 24 INCH BOXES AND MAINTAIN A ONE INCH POTENTIAL VERTICAL RISE, WHICH IS THE DISTRICT STANDARD FOR GEOTECHNICAL DESIGN CRITERIA.

WE DID LOOK AT WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING AT SAVINGS.

THE GOOD NEWS IS I THINK WE'VE WE'VE SHAKEN THE TREE PRETTY HARD HERE. THERE'S IT'S FAIRLY EFFICIENT THE WAY THE BUILDING HAS BEEN DESIGNED. AND, YOU KNOW, AT EACH PHASE WE LOOK AT OPPORTUNITIES TO YOU KNOW, FOR POTENTIAL SAVINGS.

AND THERE'S NOT A LOT LEFT. I THINK WE'VE BEEN PRETTY EFFICIENT WITH THAT.

WITH REGARD TO THE SCHEDULE, YOU SAW A SCHEDULE IN JAVIER'S EARLIER PRESENTATION, BUT THIS IS WE'RE TRACKING HERE TO.

WE'VE JUST FINISHED, WE'VE SUBMITTED, AND WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF BEGINNING CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS WITH THE GOAL TO GET IT BID IN THE BEGINNING OF 2026.

AND I'M HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE. BOARD.

ANY QUESTIONS? SEEING NONE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, SIR.

APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. NEXT ITEM UP IS GOING TO BE ACTION ITEMS FOR THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.

[V.A. New Bids]

MR. JOHNSON, THIS ACTION ITEM IS ACTUALLY FOR TONIGHT.

THIS IS OUR SPECIAL BOND MEETING. SO YOU'LL TAKE A VOTE ONCE THE PRESENTATION IS COMPLETE? YES. MY APOLOGIES. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE FOR THE NEXT BOARD MEETING.

IT'S GOING TO BE FOR THIS MEETING RIGHT NOW OKAY.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. PRESIDENT BEACH, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD DOCTOR LOPEZ HERE TONIGHT TO PROVIDE YOU A RECOMMENDATION FOR GMP NUMBER 1. AND THIS IS A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

REPLACEMENT OF MONTCLAIR TO THE NEW LINDA L GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

THIS RECOMMENDATION IS ACTUALLY FOR THE DEMOLITION OF MONTCLAIR ELEMENTARY.

AND SO TONIGHT, WE'RE RECOMMENDING THE GENERAL CONTRACT.

EXCUSE ME? THE SEYMOUR, A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT RISK IS CONSTRUCT CORE CONSTRUCTION.

AND THE DESIGNER OF RECORD IS WRA AND WE'RE BRINGING TONIGHT A NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT OF $890,137 TO BE FUNDED OUT OF THE 683 BOND 2023 FUND.

ANY QUESTIONS? BOARD. I GUESS THE QUESTION I HAVE IS THE LANGUAGE HERE IS VERY CONFUSING TO ME.

I MEAN, IF YOU TAKE THE SUBJECT OF THIS, CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RECOMMENDED GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL REPLACEMENT.

NUMBER 3, LINDA L GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THAT SURE SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S A GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE FOR A NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

IF WHAT WE'RE DOING IS IF WE'RE DEMOLISHING MONTCLAIR, SHOULD THAT NOT? I MEAN, I KNOW WE'RE USING BOND MONEY FOR IT, AND IT'S FOR THE ULTIMATE LINDA GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY.

SHOULD THERE NOT BE SOMETHING ABOUT DEMOLITION INCLUDED IN THIS WHEN WE MOVE? YES, SIR. SO IF I CAN, IF I CAN SPEAK TO THAT UNDER THE ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION WHAT WE HAVE THERE IS A LITTLE BIT MORE LANGUAGE THAT GIVES YOU THE RECOMMENDED GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE FOR THE DEMOLITION PHASE OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL REPLACEMENT NUMBER 3.

IT DOES NOT SPECIFICALLY SAY MONTCLAIR ELEMENTARY WHICH IS THE WHICH IS THE CAMPUS THAT WE ARE DEMOLISHING.

I JUST THINK THAT WHENEVER SOMEONE MAKES THE MOTION, IF THEY RECOMMEND, IF THEY IF THEY MENTION DEMOLITION PHASE, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL. DO YOU AGREE WITH THAT, MICHELLE? ABSOLUTELY. I READ THROUGH THE RECOMMENDED MOTION, AND IT'S NOT CLEAR ENOUGH TO SPECIFY THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE THE TOTAL GMP FOR THE ENTIRE PROJECT. YOUR AGENDA ITEM AND THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE AREN'T NECESSARILY WHAT YOU WANT TO PROPOSE IN YOUR ACTION.

SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO REVISE THE RECOMMENDED MOTION BELOW TO INDICATE THAT THIS IS ONLY FOR WHAT YOU'VE INDICATED IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION OF THE

[00:30:02]

AND THEN YOU'D HAVE TO COME BACK LATER AND DO AN INCREASE IN AWARD FOR THIS SAME ONE.

SO IT IT WOULD LEAD YOU DOWN THREE DIFFERENT POSSIBLE PATHS.

IF WE LOOK ON PAGE 109 ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS, IT SAYS IT IS THE ADMINISTRATION'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE RECOMMENDED GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE, GMP NUMBER 1, FOR THE DEMOLITION PHASE OF THE BOND 2023 ELEMENTARY SCHOOL REPLACEMENT NUMBER 3 LINDA L GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT#510-02-2.1 FOR GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT.

THAT SHOULD SUFFICE FOR A RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL.

WOULD YOU AGREE. I. FOR YOUR ADMINISTRATIVE RECOMMENDATION CORRECT.

HOWEVER, FOR YOUR RECOMMENDATION SENTENCE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PLACED UNDER THE RECOMMENDED ACTION.

I THINK IF YOU JUST ADD THE WORD DEMOLITION PHASE AFTER GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE, LIKE MOVE TO APPROVE RECOMMENDED GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE FOR THE DEMOLITION PHASE BOND 2023 SACHSE SCHOOL REPLACEMENT LINDA GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY.

I THINK THAT WOULD SUFFICE. YES. OKAY. DO I HAVE ANYBODY WHO WAS WILLING TO MAKE THAT MOTION? I'LL TAKE A SWAG AT IT. THERE YOU GO, ROBERT.

MOVE TO MOVE TO APPROVE THE RECOMMENDED GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE.

GMP NUMBER 1 FOR THE DEMOLITION PHASE OF THE BOND 2023 FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL REPLACEMENT NUMBER 3, LINDA L GRIFFIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS PRINTED IN OUR AGENDA.

DOES I GET IT? YES. ME SECOND. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

GRAB YOUR CLICKER, BECAUSE WE DO HAVE THIS AS A ACTION ITEM FOR THE EVENING.

MR. JOHNSON, WOULD YOU PLEASE GO AHEAD AND CALL OUT THE MOTION MADE BY MR. SELDERS IN THE SECOND BY MR. GLICK, THEN PROCEED TO OPEN YOUR VOTE.

YES, WE HAVE A MOTION BY MR. SELDERS. SECOND BY MR. GLICK. VOTE IS OPEN. CAST YOUR VOTES NOW. VOTE IS CLOSED.

IT PASSES 5 TO 0. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. TRUSTEES AND PRESIDENT IS BACK, SO I'LL GIVE IT BACK TO HIM.

THAT'S ALL WE HAVE ON THIS PARTICULAR AGENDA FOR THE BOND.

SO IT IS NOW 5:03 AND WE DO HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.

[VII. Adjournment]

WILL BE IS THIS ARE WE GOING TO DO THE SPECIAL FIRST? NO SIR. WE'RE GOING TO GO AT 5:30. SO YOU HAVE 27 MINUTES BEFORE OUR FINANCE FACILITIES OPERATION COMMITTEE STARTS.

SO DO THE FINANCE FIRST. AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO DO THE SSPECIAL. YES AT 6 P.M..

OKAY. WE'RE GOING TO BE TILL 5:30. WE WILL BE ADJOURNED UNTIL THE FINANCE AND FACILITIES OPERATIONS COMMITTEE WILL MEET.
