2: Project Update Report (Jose Vargas, AP Architects)

Projects at DSA:

  • Student Center

AP is awaiting return of DSA comments for final coordination and approval which are being reviewed.  This could take approximately 1 month – anticipating first quarter of 2015.

Projects in Design:

  • STEM Engineering Buildings

Construction has begun. The pad is complete and more site work is scheduled as well as utilities and concrete work. The buildings are scheduled to arrive around August with occupancy beginning for the spring 2016 semester.

 

Scheduled Maintenance Projects:

  • Infrastructure Upgrade at Alley:
    • The project has bid and is being reviewed for approval at the next Board meeting. Construction to commence soon after the May Board meeting.
  • PG&E Electrical Service Upgrade:
    • PG&E and AP are finalizing project plans to prepare for construction. AP is currently working with the electrical engineer regarding the underground work.
  • Gym HVAC Repairs:
    • All the bids received for this project have been considerably over budget. AP has been reviewing other options with staff and contractors, given limited funding. We may have to do the work in-house after the bidding has closed and bids are reviewed.
  • Gym Roof Repairs:
    • The bid proposal was on the April 8th Board agenda and construction will begin soon.
  • Gym Interior Repairs:
    • The project bid closes today, 4/14/15 at 2 p.m. AP will bring color schemes to the next meeting. The work will have to be done around the annual floor refinish.

Prop 39:

  • Site Lighting LED Retrofit:
    • Project was completed 4/13/15 – looks good. LED lights show whiter than the old light.
