3. Bond Oversight Committee’s Representative Report on the Ohlone College Newark Center User Group Meeting
Dan Chang, who represents this group, was absent. His report was distributed and reviewed.
4. Presentation of the Facilities Condition Analysis Report
Simon Barros discussed the analysis report completed by 3D/I. He noted that all community colleges are given such an analysis. He reported that Ohlone’s current rating is 16.14% and indicated the ranges for “good,” “fair,” and “poor.” Page 7 of the report (Facility FCI by type structure) explained how the index was determined. He further stated that repair projects included in the Bond ($6,614,000) would reduce the index to 6.97% (the “fair” range). He also discussed use of scheduled maintenance funds matched by the State.
5. Review of Measure A Executive Report and Update on Planning
Don Eichelberger presented the report that was going to the Board of Trustees on April 9, 2003. He pointed out the Index on pages 1 and 2, and noted that the overall summary is on page 3. He discussed the spreadsheet prepared on OCNC, and talked about the difference between projected spending and what has been spent. The Committee discussed the derivation of projections, reading the report, and clarifying certain columns in the report. Don stated that the report would continually change and that it is coordinated to work with the College’s financial reporting.
Don also updated the Committee on three possible versions of the master plan for OCNC. He indicated that the Board of Trustees had agreed to a mixed approach, emphasizing flexibility.
6. Review of Project Delivery Methods
Don presented a schematic which compared traditional design and build to a different delivery method, CM at risk. The committee discussed the requirements of the two, and the risks. James Griffin warned the committee of concerns he has with the CM at risk method. He was invited to attend the Board workshop to present his concerns.
7. Suggestions for Future Agenda Items
Deanna suggested that the Committee not meet in May, since most update information will not be available early in May. The Committee agreed to hold its next meeting in June.
Town Hall Meeting for the Student Support Services project will occur on May 7, 2003 in Room 7101. Committee members will receive maps of the campus for information regarding this location.
Jim Laub stated that he supported the presentation of both arguments for project delivery methods to the Board workshop.
Pat Danielson noted that the Committee has met its first challenge (Project Delivery Method) and urged members to attend the workshop.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:15 P.M.
