Public
Comments: Gene White offered for thought/asked…what
would the district do—what is the “emergency plan” if a school was not
usable—or had been reduced in condition by some event, such as a fire, so that
it could not be occupied. Where would
the children be educated—how would we react to this.
Ken Dassau: Dr. Dassau reports that the KB final proposal has been reviewed
and appears to meet all needs…both building and enrollment. “It seems good to go”.
Dave
King/KB: Mr. King reported the following…
Conceptual
estimate of costs…
$31,164,000.00 Construction costs
$
6,420,000.00 Soft costs
$37,584,000.00 Total cost of
proposal
This generated discussion
and one of the as-of-yet unanswered questions is…what is the
Cost of
a new building—a whole new building. Dave King
will generate some information and
general pricing for
the committee, relative to this. A reference book was handed out by
KB, it breaks the
projected costs for the Master Plan down into three categories;
Site work New Construction Renovation
These three areas/the book, was gone over and discussed.
Portable Classrooms: What is going to happen to/with the portable
classrooms if this/a building plan is approved and followed through with.
Motion: CD moves…portable classrooms be moved off
site, (Ms/Hs campus) and that they not be used as classrooms. BF second. Vote:
5-0-0-0.
What does this mean for MC2…the comm. will address that at the
next meeting.
Copies of
Cost Estimate: How many are needed and who will get
them. This has to be decided and Dave
King needs to be given the number needed so that the information can be
provided to the boards and committees that will need the info.
Deconstructive Testing: Dave King and Brett B. both explained that
further wall testing is necessary. It
was explained that there are walls, referred to as “high walls”, which are,
exactly that, high walls. These are the
walls in the gym and auditorium that are more than two-stories tall. With regard to the gym area, wherein there
was a crack in one of the walls, it is now necessary to determine the amount of
damage, if any, has been done to the steel posts within that/those walls. The wall is supported in part, to a height of
approximately ½ of the wall height, by steel posts. If water has entered through the cracks and
moved to the floor it is possible that the steel has been compromised—these
posts are structurally necessary.
Dave
King made it clear, that you can wait until some building project takes
place—but that this is something that you really should know before a project
begins-it is much better to know that there is a problem before any
construction begins.
Testing Costs: The exterior testing, which has been
completed, cost only $1,500.00, wherein $3,300.00 had been budgeted. The interior testing will be slightly more
expensive, as it will require more cleaning afterward and may involve one more
test site. K Chambers said that if more
money than is left is needed, the other portion can/will come from the
maintenance budget.
Motion: CD moves…to do the additional deconstructive
testing on the “high-walls” in the area of the gym and auditorium. JK seconds. Vote…5-0-0-0.
What is next: The full school board review and acceptance
of the plan and finalization of same. Dave King was asked how we get a final
number/cost to go to the next phase. He
said that the construction can be done/designed around
the amount of money that you have. It
was decided that this information/rough numbers have to go to the Finance Comm for review to create payment/bond plans.
