moving right into the buildings and grounds committee meeting we are going to forgo the pledge of allegiance as we've done that earlier today mr gul you like to give us a briefing please on the capital projects yes  i'd like to start out with the district office building the age factor renovation project here we're in the final phase we're in a punch list phase of taking over the facility from  contractor training for my staff in for the user has not been accomplished yet so that is one of the end results the front end packaged even the simple things is using the thermostats has not been accomplished yet so that's where we're at with this i think it's been a very successful well thought out planned project the mcmurry school renovation we will meet again tamara the keller boards for the the architect brought in coordinating colors for the carpet taal the classroom rhetoric many of us thought that there were just two or three colors in the school there or not there are about eight different colors with cabinets so if rocco from h h s to i had quite a test interior decorator to try to color coordinate you're invited to see those tomorrow if you want we're relying on dr murphy and mr fischer and others to help us select those i am not good at color coordination so please  truly believe that you don't look you have to hold your peace forever because it was not an easy easy chore at all because of the unique color offerings already in place that we go to see them it's just a goal will be on display at mcmurry school in the faculty lounge our meeting will start at nine o'clock  i don't know if it would be best to be there early or to view those i would think that would be most appropriate as they had mentioned to us that it was sort of ten o'clock an hour after the mcmurry renovation meeting and then they would talk about the color or and it's really critical that these big decisions be made in the next twenty four forty eight hours because we have to get those things into the ordering phase so that we can expect to have those here not in august when it's time to put a towel in carpet and paint on the walls are able to come by yes although there deactivated there will be people there watching who comes in and out yes we're in good good shape with that and please know when you do go look at it give the feedback i believe mr think they did a really nice job wednesday morning and then we meet with the the two contractors there to push that project forward of the high school project there that's been delayed also obviously for a couple days due to faculty and service clerk they serve so we will tomorrow on tuesdays we have a nine o'clock mcmurry meeting a ten o'clock d o a meeting a high school meeting eleven o'clock and so we have all three of those put together with the architect and engineers we try to group all those together and wrap those up and move forward weekly with those that's pretty much the four capital projects that we're managing right now big ones that are  that have been that it started and are ongoing throughout the summer months and even in the year and a half that macmurray now as far as capital projects things that you're going to see in next  thursday's next friday's packets going home that i'd like to discuss so you're not see you have knowledge of these that i've been working on they'll be proposals in there to repair the water valves in the backflow preventer at the middle school that is the only one that is bad there were line items in there for other ones they did all of those where it was again inspected and tested by myself and the mechanical contractor that's the only one it filled that will be in the air packet next week they'll be proposals their recommendations also be there is i prepared a ninety two page document that went out to contract the masonry vendors the e mail and mr merrill mr dunn i mean mr velshi go get those don't want you to see those because those we're  going to have a site visit this friday with mandatory side visit with contractors the open the opening of bids will be next thursday and there are a couple alternate center i would asked that any or all board members could come and help clarify those alternates in make suggestions on which to take and which not to move on so because i have to move those into the packets for friday that would be next thursday the bi openings the eighteenth next next thursday or next thursday june eighteenth at nine o'clock those masonry bit now those are the estimated figures that i have because i consolidated everything in a school district  tables i've been out pursuing those i was asked to speak i pitted a few vendors against each other we had demonstrations we had students we try those out the custodial staff and two  selected we're looking at putting a combination of rounds in rectangular as in the heist in the high school cafeteria to possibly reduce one lunch time period mr lesson is thinking of that inclined to be in favor of that i'm just going to tell you now that when i see things at the high school cafeterias tables do not seem high on my list because it seems like they're functional and i just don't i just think that there are other needs so much larger than that but having said that if our students didn't have to start lunch at nine fifty in the morning i would think that that would be a plus for the student and make a difference in our students day so i'm hoping the that's what mr lesson that is in plod to me also i have an alternative motive in this looking at  possible f t transfer i'm also looking at the cleanliness of the in the work ability of the custody and who has to lift eight of those chairs at that table every evening and place someone a table mopping clean underneath the table and then reset them all that seems to be such a hideous repetitious maneuver with potential injury and just not to me as it's something that  all the other schools have elevated tables that lift and move and are easily recess a bulletin and taken out of the area for when we do the cafeteria is used for more social events this would help remedy those two so i'm looking at it weighed about six different things as a positive to move this forward would be the recycling alternative for the existing equipment that's a question i asked the solicitor and mr mccraw told me we could do a silent or a public auction of the equipment or whether it could be a donation but a public auction is what was something that we had in mind ok because i was thinking if that would make a wonderful donation for a school that s hit by a tornado or something we've talked about that i think that's that would be my first option i would think you think we get more mileage out of addition like that than we would cash out of  other things that we want to put in at auction but that was one that wasn't my first agenda for those those humans and i don't want to store them or keep them here we just don't have the room for me along that line so that line item is of mrs anderson about sixty five thousand dollars but in that ballpark area i'm waiting for the two vendors to come together the cafeteria tables also where we're asked to look at it mcmurry school i mention to you that those i was told were bought brought from the  to mcmurtry when it was built there was are in very deplorable that those are in a condition that we would even want to donate them we just think of the buys to move them that's about a twenty five thousand dollar expenditure and that these this is also bringing  type tables to the to the facility to which we currently really don't have it was asked of them to bring stage risers for the high school in a recent event they moved them all from the middle school in the high schools were in deplorable condition they were they were not usable anymore and unsafe i've been asked not to use the term that's a term that they were not in the best shape so this wouldn't this was asked for a year and a half ago i have two vendors pitted against each other and bring in a price about thirteen thousand dollars for this that's all lumped into my concrete masonry project that's masonry and concrete installations of new sidewalks repairs of existing sidewalks catch together power washing of facilities we tried our hand at it with our own staff that really didn't meet expectations so we're going out and pursuing a professional contractor do that at the high school and at the middle school some that may fall over that nineteen thousand four hundred dollars where we need to put an ad in a paper which would be difficult now in the summer months or if it's less than that we can go and just get three bits which i'm working on i have three contractors lined up two to have already arrived the one i'm waiting for that's loading dock and relink and i mention what we did we decided to go ahead and pursue doing one of those applications at the high school at the kitchen area that is the most utilized thousand and the one you found here is fourteen hundred with two with some freight in right light so that will be a great reduction and will meet the osha guidelines and protocol to do that but we wanted to go ahead in the stall one and see if all would you like to discuss if you can the p v parking lot yes you for that after a no that is been near and dear to many after exploring that on a sunday afternoon walking that with no vehicles in a parking lot and taking a lot of photos it is not a good investment to go ahead in asphalt that parking lot at this time there is serious problems with under the cavities of some of the asphalt have shifted in and drop just like the concrete that we're going to have elevated in two weeks and also there is a lack of proper catch basin stormwater catch basins they do not meet any standard i've ever seen they are something that a residential homeowner in my opinion my view what i seen would have put in their sixteen by sixteen plastic lids with a four inch inlet that is not possible to drain that water off of that parking lot and then there's another area below the the where the trash collection dumpster is that it holds water no one has to be installed or the existing three have to be made into approved catch basins enters a fourth one i'm convinced it needs to be installed they are not know what i'm going to ask does is that i make a recommendation and upcoming august or even the july  i will put it in next weeks and is that i be allowed to solicit proposal for an architect a civil engineer to come in and help me put that project together because it to my the way i view it it's one hundred fifty thousand dollars expenditure that will not be of good invest some investment going forward we will strike the lot this summer to give a new angle parking is my intention we've removed the law the concrete curb sets and we will patch we do have a playground finished but we do have the cross walks that are covered over from the from the concrete but it's not a good investment going for i would love to have that put together in our package next summer when we look at all of our asphalt just like i'm trying to do with our concrete projects this summer encompass all of those in one i'd like to do that all with our asphalt projects next year he said that the catch basins you're talking about in that he parking lots are not included in what we're talking about not in this project where it's now the big no they're not included the four that are out there are are damaged there's a sawhorse at mcmur one behind the middle school there's a one it's sunk at the high school to it mcmurry on in the main drive going and we will have those repaired and fixed ok so it's been a really long day for me why exactly are the ones   i took that as a project all in itself that pleasant valley i got in one of the income incorporated because i didn't don't have i didn't have somebody to help me write that catch basin project well i believe a civil engineer should write that he should write that scope of work and that's beck ok and that's the reason why i didn't put it in or think it might have been an oversight on my part and i can always but i can if if if i have somebody here doing the catch basins for the other ones i can put that isn't that alternate into that scope going forward with my part proposal  i thought it was a time there was some extensive work done up there in the past was deficient has there been any work done up there in that parking lot that you've been up there since i've been there that the playground and the speed humps that are going around between playgrounds have been have been put in but it's a i think sense and i like to point out also i've measured some of the asphalt some of it's down to two inches in some of the and that was laid like that and some down to the base in the base restructured because the asphalt comes within an inch or two of the current the current should be a six inch deep said kerr there are individuals who ride up upon that code because it is so small in nature it doesn't stop anybody so it is my recommendation that that will probably have to be all milled down to the base and put a new base in yes that's that's one of my reasons for holding off on this project to new things it looking at i'm trying to focus on things this summer where there's on students and faculty at that will be in my way so now i'm looking at things in september and october november where we still have reasonable weather that i can work within the students in the faculty and some of those things are the signs that mr barrow mentioned outdoor canopy lighting shifting to an early di type lighting the garage doors at the at the  f the garage and we had a proposal looking at the district office building here for windows can cause no windows replacement caulking in and just treatment of all the openings there are in very poor condition so those were some of the things that i was looking at i have allowed to go out to bid but the elevated bleachers at p v field i i was one of the people that my child i think had a game right after p b field was you know opened and i sat on the bleachers that were there and i thought oh my gosh you can't see anything he had to stand up and you know and so i recognize the need for elevated bleachers at p v field but again when you if it does come in around thirty five thousand i did ask mr guy or like how many i know there's a lot of practices at th but how many games with spectators there are high school ones not you know record township ones and he said between ten and fifteen a year and again that's just something that when i look at it if we're going to spend thirty five thousand i really do think it would be great to have them but if i'm spending thirty five thousand on that i might want to spend thirty five thousand rec football games that might be down there but then i thought i understood that now they try to push those down to the stadium because of the complaint the neighbors up there so it's my understanding that not even any i actually that's that sitting mr anderson is upwards of two hundred and that actually it's fifty thousand dollars it's thirty five thousand dollars if we were to acquire the seating from an online vendor ship here and we assemble believe i asked him he has yet to come out meet with me but he gave me the plans and i forwarded them on to a few that would be a mirror image of this two hundred seats if you're only hearing there's twenty people the is also the request came from the individual sitting on a hillside we're trying to get them elevated above the four foot cycling fence and i mean i do because i was there and i ended up just standing watch bring to the board if that's something of interest and i did visit our neighbors there today for a couple issues that they have and they gave me a shopping list of things that i'll be sharing with you at a later time i don't have anything else unless there is something that someone has made to look into that look at investigate open to suggestions well i would like to comment on that of all the things we're doing that is really the number one topic and we have to stay engaged and with mr cohen on a daily that is that is paramount to the success here the other three projects are very important to the high school but where we have they're going on here to district office and it pleasant valley all of but all of these things are important everyone else too but it is the mcmurdo school that is going to be an intense i spent all day saturday here with the staff trying to move things and get the contractor ready and they're done they're running off and running their mazed how much we have ready for them they're not walking into a mess so one thing  staff is the one who came up with a lot of planning for this horizontal move at the request of i'm glad dr murphy stepped in and kind of set us straight in the right direction because i probably would have brought a trailer and then we would have been hauling furniture down the steps but that worked out we were amazed we got five four rooms of classroom furniture in a one classroom and we thought we had planned for two so we that staff saturday really work together as a team and we're really mission focused and they really made me proud that i was there with them please express our gratitude we will i'm going to put off a letter to dr french or with names mr go we try to help your cause with air conditioning in the gym by having commitments in and then on friday i offered to make the announcement we're going to pass the plate for volunteers to pay for it but that was turned down so i would have liked to been with you that friday night but i had an early riser four thirty to get out here for a sunday so i turn it over to my co to handle it was hot we were trying hard to assist you i've ever got a lot of comments that there was more personal than the stadium was and that's one thing that came out or if you were three centimeters away from each person who was next to you there's no so i thought that was appropriate well mr gold i had talked to mr murray last week and mr dunne levy maybe you can add the air conditioning unit on this building is it keeping you awake any more i understand it you were able to hear add that with in conjunction with the finance committee meeting tonight and also with the buildings and grounds there was a capital projects list that was put in everybody's package if you can take a look at that that will be something we  at the final meeting in june to have approval for two thousand and fifteen two thousand and sixteen the only thing that i have as of tonight that is missing from that is the hundred thousand dollars transfer from the capital projects to the general fund so we would be a little bit higher than seven point five million dollars it would be about seven million five eighty eight for a total projects for the fifteenth sixteenth and i'm always confused about why we actual there is a requirement that you vote on that because then everybody says but you're not voting on the itemization or is that incorrect normally i think the district has had meetings as we've had tonight with buildings and grounds to discuss some of these projects and basically because some of the project that projects to do cost a lot more money we do have a lot of steps and phases that we have to go through to prepare that such as the bid or to quote process that list come from the list that we've approved on the weekend meetings we've had here yes that list is a summary of the progress that we've done with those meetings and also some new issues that have surfaced throughout good evening rolf regal venetia not to deliver the b labor the cafeteria tables but word among my son and his friends are that is that they much prefer the round tables the rectangular tables they just can't see all their friends so if  choice i would request on his behalf that we focus on the round tables is that it thank you and the other public comment no other public comment is now six minutes to nine and before everybody freezes we're done
