Archive of Bond 1995 - Bond Status Report - April 12, 2000
The following Bond 1995 Projects Status Report was presented to the Lane Community College Board of Education at its April 12, 2000 meeting.
Community Learning Centers
Community Learning Centers. All Community Learning Centers have been completed and are in operation except the Junction City center. The exterior work is about 80% complete and the interior is about 75% complete. At this point it appears that construction will be completed in May instead of June.
Florence Center Addition
Florence Center Addition. Construction of the covered breezeway between the new and old buildings has been completed.
Main Campus Projects:
Welding:
All of the regulatory agencies have inspected and approved the building. The contractor has achieved substantial completion and the furnishings and equipment of the welding and jewelry programs have been moved. Spring term classes are being held in the new building even though there are some unfinished elements.
Child Care Center:
The current schedule calls for the following building completion dates:
Bldg #1: May 1
Bldg #2: June 30
Bldg #3: July 5
Bldg #4: July 10
Campus Service Addition:
Construction is on schedule to complete the addition by early May after which both Printing/Graphics and Laundry will be moved.
Science/Math:
The south retaining wall has been completed and waterproofed. The concrete floor slabs for the west and east additions have been poured. Erection of the structural steel frame is underway as is work under the floor of the existing building. The steel studs of the exterior walls of the east additions are installed. The speed of construction has increased substantially over what it was however completion of the entire project is still behind schedule.
Student Services:
Bids for the Student Services Building were opened January 13.
Workforce Training:
The architects have met with Foodservices people to redesign the kitchen. The revision of the kitchen and the addition of the College High Program to the center have increased the project's cost. We are studying ways to minimize the increase.
Health Tech. Remodel:
This project has distinct 3 phases: 1, The lower level of the north part of the building; 2, The upper level of the north part of the building; and 3, The PE classroom and Archives. The seismic upgrade part of this project had to be deleted for budgetary reasons. Also, for the same reason, college Facilities personnel will do Phases 2 and 3.
Infrastructure Upgrade
The cabling portion of this project is about 50% complete and the equipment upgrade portion is 75% complete. The existing buildings are now upgraded. The upgrade will connect the new buildings as they are completed.
Sewage Lagoon Upgrade
The draft facilities plan for the upgrade of the lagoon has been submitted to DEQ for review and comment. DEQ's Response is expected by 10/1/00. The Executive Leadership Team and College Council have begun to discuss the Armory's interest in sharing the lagoon.
LTD Bus Station
Design Development drawings have been completed and approved by LCC and LTD. The interagency agreement between LCC and LTD has been drafted and is being reviewed by the college attorneys before it is presented to the Board of Education for review. Actual construction of the station is still scheduled for this summer.
HVAC Control Systems
Bids for the HVAC control system have been opened and were within the target budget. (The board awarded the contract April 12.)
General Comments
The level of construction caused disruption and anxiety has increased due to more construction activity close to occupied classrooms and offices and because of the haste with which the welding and jewelry programs had to be moved. You asked for a report to be made at the May meeting, which included "Campus anxiety, disruption, and effective communication". I plan to make a comprehensive and detailed report about this matter at that time.
Finally, lest we get too serious about this, consider some of the things which happened last month: There was a "dynamite scare" at the Math-Science site, a boiler which was too big to fit through the door, a dump truck which broke a water pipe, and a run away fork lift which was stopped by the operators' pick up! Oh, yes, and this time when we had to shut off the water for awhile we remembered to provide KLCC with a port-a-potty.
Questions and comments about any bond construction activity may be directed to 744-4154 or e-mailed to bond@lanecc.edu. All communication received will be regularly reviewed by the Bond Project Management Team (BPMT), the architects, and the Facilities Management Committee.
