2.       Student Center

This project began 3 or 4 years ago but with the overall climate and construction costs rising, the project was reviewed to determine the overall budget based on today’s market. The decision, after evaluating the outcome, was to prepare the bid package with various cost alternates in order to control the final project cost. The alternates can be added back in if it is determined there will be left over funds.  The bid package should go out in January and be open for bids in February.

  1. Phase 1: Infrastructure – electrical – chiller – power
  2. Phase 2: PG&E electrical service update which will include installing a new transformer to provide necessary power for the Student Center and future projects. This package is scheduled to go out for bid in January,
  3. Phase 3: Demolition of current building and construction of new building. (Wildcat Way Dorms will be kept open during construction).

 

3.       Land Acquisition Plan

Brock McMurray, Executive Vice President, Administrative Services, reminded the committee the Educational Master Plan (EMP) is the guide for Taft College to help meet the educational needs of our students. Born from the EMP was the Strategic Master Plan (SMP) which identified the need for a Facilities Master Plan (FMP). One of the components of the FMP is the Land Acquisition Plan due to the college being land‐locked and the need for more space. Brock has been working with Kevin Cobb, AP Architects, to identify how much space and type of space we are in the market for and what the cost will be.  There will be more to come on this topic.
