Vice President for Operations and College Relations
July 19, 2011
Last week I had the privilege of providing a brief Operations update to the Board of Trustees, which I will share with you today. Please review the following PowerPoint presentation.
In addition, I wanted to remind you of some movements you will see in the next few weeks around Building 16. Here is a brief summary of that project.
Building 16 Repair and Repaint Project
Building 16, not unlike Buildings 14 and 19, is nearly 30 years old and is in need of minor patching, repairs, and repainting. This minor project will preserve the exterior of the facility and prevent future leaks until the state funds exterior improvements similar to those recently completed on Building 19.
Once again, this project will be paid for by state capital funds that cannot be used for operational purposes.
You will see the paint crew cleaning, repairing, and repainting the building in the coming weeks. If their work will impact classroom instruction, which we do not believe it will, we will certainly let you know.
If you have any questions about the information presented please let me know. You can reach me at amy.goings@cptc.edu.
Good Afternoon,
I would like to give you a brief update on the facilities work that has been completed in the past two years and a glimpse on the work scheduled for the year ahead.
The Capital repairs during the past two year were overshadowed by the July 2008 failing of the 30 year old Allied Health Building, 14. My predecessor held tight to two biennia worth of minor repairs in order to make sure that we had emergency repair funds in place first for 14. During the 2009 legislative session, under President Walstrum’s leadership we received $1.7M in emergency funds to repair 14 which we did on time and nearly $1M under budget.
That was the good news. The subsequent challenge was that we had two biennia worth of repairs that were funded, needed on this campus, and were in jeopardy of being swept back by the Legislature this year. So we rose to the task and completed these projects totaling $3.3M in repairs and the ESCO project. I am happy to say that we did not return a dime to the state.
Thanks to Mike Anderson and the diligent work of his maintenance staff.
One project that I am particularly proud of is the over-cladding project were we updated another 30 year building and preserved the exterior in a process that protected our infrastructure in the least expensive and most environmentally sound way.
In addition, we leveraged some repair funds with an $800,000 grant from the Department of Commerce and a $150,000 utility incentive to complete a $2M energy retrofit. Motion sensors and energy efficient fixtures.
LEED Silver Building
55,000 sq foot building
Arrived at strategies to meet the $1.8M budget cut without compromising the scope. When those design changes are made I would like to have our architects provide you with an in-depth presentation on this facility perhaps during your September study session.
Upgraded to meet new energy code and efficiency standards in place with LEED.
But that is not all….requested Minor Works for $600,000 for Library renovation. We will begin the stakeholder assessment of the needs in Building 16 within the next few weeks.
Thank you.
