1. Update

Bob Mention issued a two-page report dated November 10 and discussed the status of the Bond 1995 Projects. In general, it appears that the projects are proceeding per schedule.
Mention noted the following:
Discussed the Bid Results for the Science-Math building project and the final award to general contractor Hyland Construction.
Student Services building project is scheduled for bid in a few weeks.
Final decision for the LTD Bus Station site has been made. It is the site (Site #7 discussed at a previous FMC meeting) immediately below Dale Parnell Loop where a row of handicap parking is presently located. The handicap spaces will be relocated. The project is scheduled to be completed by end of next summer. LTD mentioned that they could finance approximately 60% of the cost.
The Bid Proposal received from Lile North American to move Welding and Jewelry is $34,624. Lloyd Rain of Purchasing is not satisfied with bid and has issued an RFP for other proposals. Proposal requests and determination of final moving company should be completed by December so moving action can take place by January. Marie Matsen questioned the legality of using Bond money for moving. Linda Waddell to research the legal issues.
Discussed the former Art Kiln area improvements east of Purchasing. Lloyd Rain has requested more improvements than that previously discussed and approved by FMC. Presently, the Architects retained are providing documents for improvements approved.
The Greenhouse project has increased in cost to $17,848 due to county and code requirements. FMC approved funding increase from Landscaping Funds.
Mention questioned why Archives Permanent Storage is listed under Future Agenda Items. Architects are currently working on the project since receiving approval using the PE Baseball Practice Site. FMC confirmed the approval and the agenda item to be removed. Susan Tatar noted that Elizabeth Uhlig had recently expressed concerns for office spaces that may not be included in the current approved project.
Details of the Status Report, Targeted Project Schedule and other related Bond issues can be found on the LCC/Facilities Management & Planning website (http://2011sitearchive.lanecc.edu/campsvcs/main.html).

3. Wayfinding Committee Report

Mike Ruiz and Therese Picado reported on the history and current status of signage projects campus wide. Mike noted what has already been accomplished, i.e., handicap wheelchair accessible signage, building numbers, etc. He said that it is time to replace the temporary and paper signage like those at Cottage Grove Center, to provide interior and exterior signage at Florence Center and the CLCs, and to provide main ID signs at Florence and the Wildish Building. Mike said that all restroom signs would be replaced and funded by ADA Funds. Therese issued a two-page handout prepared by sign consultant Funk & Associates. The handout titled "Order of Sign Installation and Rationale" outlines the general signage types with related approximate costs. Therese explained the design approach of "concentric pattern" and the need for the next signage "Traffic Directional". She said that now that the Building Numbers are installed directional signage is needed to direct auto and pedestrian traffic to the numbered buildings. She also reported briefly on the reactions and hardships of students due to the lack of signage. Therese submitted copies of the 1994 report on the signage project, which will be kept with FMP.
Marie Matsen said she is currently working on the source of funding and will be able to provide details in a couple of months.

Discussion Items/Action Items:

4. Student Art

Susan Laudermilk and Jeffery Garman of the Campus Beautification Committee / Student Art Group presented their proposal to reach their goal of enriching the campusís beauty. Their proposal request funding of $800.00 for the purchase of two removable or permanent display cases to be installed on the 4^th floor of the Center Building. The display cases would feature art projects by students. Sandy Ing suggested the new Student Services Building as a permanent site location for the display cases. Therefore, the 4^th floor site at the Center Building will be temporary until the Student Services Building is built.
Marie Matsen and Mike Ruiz agreed that funding for the request could come from Small Projects Funds. FMC asked Mike to work with the Beautification Committee on the construction and placement of the display cases. Mary Spilde noted that this display project not be confused with the broader "Art Proposal" currently being developed.

Discussion Items/Action Items:

5. PE101 fitness Center Remodel

Mary Spilde discussed the memo (attached to agenda handout) by Patrick Lanning and explained that after approval from FMC last April, preliminary conceptual studies were conducted and developed by the project committee (Mike Zimmerman and Amy Riggins) with LCC Architect / Planner Tom Oroyan. Mike Ruiz mentioned that realization of such a large project would take a few years. Tom noted that the project is at a point where more in-depth feasibility studies are required that should include input from engineering consultants to cover such areas as structural, mechanical and electrical. Mary said she seeks FMCís permission to continue refinement of the preliminary studies to include consultants necessary and noted that the department has some funding to cover consulting fees.
FMC approved the request.


6. TV Studio Soundproofing

Mary Spilde discussed the memo (attached to agenda handout) originated by Nanci LaVelle, requesting the TV Studio Soundproofing need, be addressed as an immediate project. Approximately three years ago acoustic studies and estimates began but were never finalized. Recently a bid of $27,500 has been obtained from acoustic engineering consultant Acoustics Sciences Corporation. Marie Matsen asked Mike Ruiz to verify if the project is on the Facilities Needs List. Mike said it should be on the list if the project was initiated with an ICO or that the project may be under a broader project title. Tom Oroyan mentioned that the project involved more than acoustics and that electrical work and remodeling of walls were also being considered.
