At the 10/17/07
Regularly Scheduled Board Meeting:
Based on the current construction costs
and rising fees, it was recommended by staff that this project
be built in two phases. The first phase is to include the
Assembly Hall, Kitchen, Offices, Class/Meeting Rooms, and
the Senior Center. Phase 2 will consist of the Gymnasium
and two swimming pools.
A presentation was given by Brian Brown,
WLC Architects, showing the rising costs of all phasing
options and that Phase 1, described above, is the only Phase
within our current price range. Furthermore, he provided
figures for two other building material options for the
gymnasium, neither of which were cost effective.
Public comments reflected the desire
for a community pool due to the large amount of those who
participate in competition and recreational swim as well
as water polo. Discussion was brought back to the Board
and each Director provided personal insight as to what the
next step should be.
ACTION: This item is to be brought
back to the November Board Meeting for continued discussion
on Options 1 and 2, and a presentation on Option 3, consisting
of the plans of Option 1 with a heated competition pool.
As of 11/29/07
Special Board Meeting:
ACTION: To move forward with
Option 1 (Assembly Hall, Stage, Kitchen, Offices, Meeting/Classroom,
Senior Center, and Teen Room); proceed with an alternate
bid package to include Option 1 as well as the pool and
pool support facilities) to be determined once the bids
are received. Ayes—DG, AC, DJ, KC, VC
A bid alternate is a portion of the
work identified on a bid form to receive separate pricing
from the Contractors. CSD has ninety days to choose to accept
or reject the alternate based on whether the alternate is
within CSD’s budget.
