00:05:42.540 CAADO 309: Item number five, which is the measure see projects update i'll take that one. 44 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.980 CAADO 309: or associate Vice Chancellor facilities, he has personal matters to take care of self. 45 00:05:51.060 --> 00:05:51.780 For him so. 46 00:05:53.280 --> 00:05:56.490 CAADO 309: We only had one board report, since the last time we met. 47 00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:10.920 CAADO 309: You may recall that the last time we did meet we indicated that we were going to take a resolution to our board to pre qualify contractors for the riverside city college life science physical science building. 48 00:06:12.090 --> 00:06:25.590 CAADO 309: Our, mind you, that there's a number of reasons why we're doing a pre qualification process mainly to improve the quality of the contractors our working on this particular project, both from a financial standpoint. 49 00:06:27.840 --> 00:06:29.790 CAADO 309: Project completion standpoint. 50 00:06:31.290 --> 00:06:36.270 CAADO 309: and also a quality standpoint, those are the main reasons why we would go through this process, as opposed to just. 51 00:06:37.230 --> 00:06:47.730 CAADO 309: Sending it out to the general public and doing a low bid process it's one of the best practices in the industry so we've availed ourselves that the board approved passing a resolution to go down that route. 52 00:06:48.300 --> 00:06:59.370 CAADO 309: The next step was actually to select the vendors, so we get an rfp or acute process for that and we add a 14 vendors that selected that submit proposals. 53 00:07:01.110 --> 00:07:07.890 CAADO 309: We selected 10 excuse me, and so that that was what this board report was for is to. 54 00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:16.380 CAADO 309: identify the 10 vendors that are now pre qualified to bid on the first side city college life science physical science project when we get to that point. 55 00:07:18.030 --> 00:07:33.390 CAADO 309: we're just waiting, then as soon as we get approval from the state dsa soon as we get that approval, then we'll be ready to prepare the big documents and go out for public, I think, let me see on the next report we have. 56 00:07:34.980 --> 00:07:36.750 CAADO 309: So we. 57 00:07:39.300 --> 00:07:40.950 CAADO 309: submitted the. 58 00:07:42.630 --> 00:07:52.710 CAADO 309: Working working drugs package to the State chancellor's office on January 20 I don't know, mark you know when we're gonna expect to get to get results back so that we're ready to go to bed. 59 00:07:53.760 --> 00:07:54.930 CAADO 309: Do you know what the data is that. 60 00:07:56.640 --> 00:07:59.940 CAADO 309: Well, as I mean it was a complete package. 61 00:08:01.230 --> 00:08:02.730 The same thing with your name. 62 00:08:07.290 --> 00:08:07.650 On the. 63 00:08:10.380 --> 00:08:16.770 CAADO 309: And when will we get the answer back from the car how long is that number state Okay, what are we planning to go to bed, you know your. 64 00:08:17.910 --> 00:08:18.330 sources. 65 00:08:19.470 --> 00:08:20.370 So, probably spare. 66 00:08:21.510 --> 00:08:22.620 Month another month okay. 67 00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:26.970 And typically with the project decides that imagine you have. 68 00:08:28.080 --> 00:08:39.540 CAADO 309: to eight weeks for someone or I mean was it yeah we give a plenty of time because we want to get the best quality bits right we get plenty of time, we do have some timelines to meet on this, especially since it's a State project. 69 00:08:40.560 --> 00:08:54.630 CAADO 309: The state has certain requirements for providing funding they've they provide funding in three different phases measure see as a component of our total funding, but because it's it's really it's more state driven because it is a state project. 70 00:08:56.640 --> 00:09:04.770 CAADO 309: We get we get planning money we get working drawing money, and then we get construction money and they're all phased out, based on certain time periods so. 71 00:09:05.880 --> 00:09:12.570 CAADO 309: we'll give them probably yeah eight eight weeks or so, to be able to respond and then we'll go through the quality of. 72 00:09:13.290 --> 00:09:22.500 CAADO 309: The review process will select the vendor vendor make the notifications wait for any protests sounds like there's a protest on how we bid now. 73 00:09:23.130 --> 00:09:33.180 CAADO 309: Just because of the environment that we're in and then we'll take board for approval and then, once I get approval and we get all the docs in place the contract signed they're ready to go. 74 00:09:34.290 --> 00:09:36.870 And you know, probably 18 months 24 months from. 75 00:09:37.950 --> 00:09:42.270 CAADO 309: Your pre QUAL this was contractors, as opposed to see him correct correct yeah. 76 00:09:45.930 --> 00:09:47.670 Any other questions from. 77 00:09:48.810 --> 00:09:49.770 The committee for. 78 00:09:50.940 --> 00:09:53.100 CAADO 309: On the board reports, it is the. 79 00:09:54.510 --> 00:09:57.030 CAADO 309: performing arts Center narcos stills on the. 80 00:09:58.290 --> 00:10:06.540 CAADO 309: timeline or is that because I know I heard it was the state was back and out or and then there was somebody needed extra money from Papa. 81 00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:19.830 CAADO 309: So i've heard a couple of their story, and I just yeah so we have we have yeah there's a there's a history to that project, and we are, we are fighting with every fiber of our being to try to get that funded. 82 00:10:21.510 --> 00:10:25.500 CAADO 309: The history is really it was scheduled to be a. 83 00:10:26.520 --> 00:10:34.050 CAADO 309: partially funded through measure, a that would be our local contribution we had a couple of projects, what i'm wearing a valley what norco. 84 00:10:34.740 --> 00:10:54.810 CAADO 309: Would measure, a was not successful, we had to regroup and we ended up having to select the project that we felt had the best ability to be approved the Moreno valley college was a more expensive project, and so we had to make a choice and we've decided to go with the norco. 85 00:10:56.010 --> 00:11:02.100 CAADO 309: Center for human for performance and kinesiology and we gave up the Moreno Valley. 86 00:11:04.170 --> 00:11:08.250 CAADO 309: Like library and learning library learning Center project and. 87 00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:15.540 CAADO 309: we've got approval by the State Board of Governors they committed to 100% funding. 88 00:11:16.950 --> 00:11:20.850 CAADO 309: They, in the meantime, they actually changed the qualifications for hardship provision. 89 00:11:23.070 --> 00:11:29.820 CAADO 309: long story short, the Department of Finance rejected that and has now imposed a. 90 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:42.330 CAADO 309: Local match requirement of about 20% of the project costs which we don't have so we've been arguing with them and making our case on why that shouldn't occur. 91 00:11:42.900 --> 00:11:57.210 CAADO 309: Including advocacy at the legislative level and we're in that, in the middle of that process right now to try to to try to get that funding So yes, we got to deal with do it all, all we have what we change our mind yeah that's that's pretty much what happened in. 92 00:11:58.770 --> 00:12:05.970 CAADO 309: So in to add a little bit more that they they didn't give us a this fiscal year for planning working drama. 93 00:12:07.170 --> 00:12:13.980 CAADO 309: But they still without that we have to the 20% contribution on the project, but not until the construction phase. 94 00:12:14.670 --> 00:12:22.050 CAADO 309: In the meantime, we also had some price increases and we submitted a proposal to have that covered and. 95 00:12:23.010 --> 00:12:30.990 CAADO 309: We have all justification for it it's it's typically a no brainer on that part of it, they didn't have any questions about our submission. 96 00:12:31.410 --> 00:12:40.470 CAADO 309: However, they're selling posing the 20% requirement and it's kind of stuck in a little bit of limbo, right now, we would have expected the working drawings piece to be released, so we can start on that process. 97 00:12:40.950 --> 00:12:52.860 CAADO 309: They haven't released the funds yet because we're kind of figuring out there they're figuring out where we're perfectly comfortable with our position and and what was committed to us right but we're waiting on. 98 00:12:55.020 --> 00:13:00.300 think that will wait to see what our political representatives. 99 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:01.920 place this. 100 00:13:03.210 --> 00:13:10.380 Is a Medina for lantus Richard Ross to join, to put pressure from finance. 101 00:13:11.670 --> 00:13:12.660 To this diversity. 102 00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:32.520 To see exception worst case scenario, I assume that they would delay protracted until we get to our new congregation bond, I think that would go back to the citizens and then get the money will pay our 20% tax at that will pick the project now. 103 00:13:34.260 --> 00:13:46.530 Back yeah so because I like it that they're dealing with us to make them for the planet, you have already given to us at all the drawings, so they can abandon the project already pre. 104 00:13:47.640 --> 00:13:55.260 CAADO 309: And then, in the meantime, while this is happening there at the they don't have any money left to allocate so. 105 00:13:57.810 --> 00:14:05.400 CAADO 309: That money would essentially be in limbo if they're actually going to take the extended time period and see what we do with our next bond that money still going to be in limbo. 106 00:14:06.090 --> 00:14:11.670 CAADO 309: But they've essentially allocated, most of the money out, they have no more money at the state level till they do another. 107 00:14:15.630 --> 00:14:16.800 DEMO for that project. 108 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:23.070 CAADO 309: No, we still have money their style is money set aside they haven't reallocated. 109 00:14:24.210 --> 00:14:27.150 CAADO 309: But that's all there is and so. 110 00:14:29.460 --> 00:14:39.780 CAADO 309: We don't typically wait a couple years to approve a project, it would be I would think that would be a little out of the ordinary, but that is a strategy that the problem going to try to try to impose. 111 00:14:43.170 --> 00:14:53.040 CAADO 309: richards usually pretty effective i've known him for a long time that three star general attitude kicks in when it needs hope so yeah. 112 00:14:53.460 --> 00:15:02.730 CAADO 309: I mean we think we think we're we definitely think we're in the right on this because of all the action that have been taken along the way, and right your reliance on what they committed to so. 113 00:15:03.330 --> 00:15:14.220 CAADO 309: yeah and then, and you know, had we been successful this that we would have had two projects in play, and we gave up one of those and those monies have already been reallocated to other projects throughout the state so. 114 00:15:18.030 --> 00:15:21.120 All right, thanks yeah absolutely. 115 00:15:22.530 --> 00:15:32.820 CAADO 309: So I think that was into the summary report so unless we've already talked about the rcc project I don't know if you have any other questions on that, but. 116 00:15:34.110 --> 00:15:45.240 CAADO 309: that's the only one that is acted at this point there's another there's a few other ones that are going to be coming down the road we have a stem engagement Center that they're in the middle of planning for. 117 00:15:46.710 --> 00:15:48.510 A couple other projects, but those will be. 118 00:15:50.250 --> 00:16:01.230 CAADO 309: To be used with the leftover from as you see yeah I think the stem engagement Center has literacy money and I don't know if any of the other projects have literacy money in it, I don't believe so. 119 00:16:02.700 --> 00:16:04.530 CAADO 309: there's not yet some of it well there's how much. 120 00:16:07.710 --> 00:16:13.020 CAADO 309: Science and there's a there's kind of a combination of funds that have to finish off some of these other projects. 121 00:16:14.280 --> 00:16:17.190 CAADO 309: But as they come on board go on to our list. 122 00:16:18.510 --> 00:16:20.910 CAADO 309: and, obviously, it will take for approval as well. 123 00:16:22.590 --> 00:16:35.520 CAADO 309: At Moreno Valley, the River valley welcome Center is complete, and it was occupied as of last fall during the process Stella procuring the remaining furniture and fixtures and equipment and some other it out. 124 00:16:36.870 --> 00:16:37.380 and 125 00:16:38.550 --> 00:16:44.130 CAADO 309: By the time this body needs again that project will be office list and be fully fully done at that point. 126 00:16:46.350 --> 00:16:52.680 CAADO 309: they're currently under design for the student Maria valley college student services renovation project. 127 00:16:54.150 --> 00:17:04.770 CAADO 309: They the the College decided that it was an opportune time to essentially expand the project scope by providing. 128 00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:17.340 CAADO 309: Additional students support services in that going to have a kind of a one stop shop, and so they read the repurchasing a large lecture and moving into another building. 129 00:17:18.090 --> 00:17:29.730 CAADO 309: But at the same time they're adding disability support services a clothing closet and a food bank and that went to our board or it's going to our board went to committee it's going to our forum for approval. 130 00:17:32.250 --> 00:17:41.220 CAADO 309: And then the den Clark transmitter education phase one project that's about almost half halfway completed construction. 131 00:17:42.210 --> 00:17:55.740 CAADO 309: Because of some of the issues that we're experiencing with the supply chain holdups we've in order to get furniture and fixtures there on time, we were doing a lot of pre ordering of that so that we can stay on schedule. 132 00:17:57.120 --> 00:18:05.190 CAADO 309: And then, they also have a fire alarm project that has been approved by dsa so that's completely done and. 133 00:18:06.030 --> 00:18:14.940 CAADO 309: schedule and the same thing for the normal college their soccer field turf replacement that's been approved by the NSA and the last coming off. 134 00:18:15.900 --> 00:18:31.710 CAADO 309: So, as you can see a lot of lot of the measure see projects are winding down we're getting to the very end there was still a bit to do still a few more years until all completely done but yeah we're definitely getting to the. 135 00:18:33.360 -->
