Policy Report and Consideration No. 1 (ACTION ITEM 1) Board Meeting 4-3-08
Request: Consideration of Approval of the Proposed Revisions to Board Policy CF
Purchasing and Acquisitions (SECOND READING)
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees approve the proposed revisions to Board Policy
CF Purchasing and Acquisitions.
Rationale: The proposed revisions are recommended to bring the college systems’
procurement program and processes in line with industry standards and best
practices of our educational institution peers. The revised policies will
provide increased flexibility for end users while continuing to meet the state
law requirements. In addition, these revisions were reviewed by the
consultants that performed a review of the LSCS procurement process and
they concurred with the policy revisions.
Several comments were received following the Board’s first reading of the
revised policy. The comments and corresponding action taken are noted
below.
Comment Action Taken
D.1.02 a. – Add a sentence that
reads “Check requests are restricted
to purchases of less than $2,500 for
which purchase orders are not
required.” This is to clarify the
intent in the Summary of Revisions
document.
While the intent is to require
purchase orders for purchases of
$2,500 or more, there are some
circumstances where purchase
orders are not appropriate such as
memberships, registration fees, or
utility and lease payments. The
proposed policy comment in the
Summary of Revisions document
was incorrect. The Summary of
Revisions document was edited
appropriately.
D.2.03 – Delete the words, “that
exceed a term of one year”,
beginning in the first line. The
current language implies that the
Board has to approve educational
agreements of less than one year
which is not the intent.
This edit was made.
D.2.03 – There was concern about
removing the reporting requirement
for educational agreements.
The reporting requirement was
reinstated, but is required annually
versus twice a year.
D.4.04 e. – Add a sentence at the
end of this section that reads, “A
The following sentence was added,
“Emergency and Sole Source
report of all emergency and sole
source purchases of $50,000 or
more during a month shall be made
to the Board of Trustees at the
following month’s regularly
scheduled meeting.”
purchases of $50,000 or more must
be approved or ratified by the
Board of Trustees.
The revised policy and summary of revisions is attached for the Board’s
review and consideration.
Fiscal Impact: These changes will allow staff involved in the procurement process to focus
more time and attention on obtaining better prices for the higher dollar
purchases across the System resulting in overall savings to LSCS.

PROPOSED POLICY COMMENTS
CF Purchasing
and Acquisition
States check requisitions may be used to pay invoices for orders that have been placed by telephone, fax or order form. Allows use of credit cards for travel, registration and conferences.
D.1.02 Forms of Purchase
States that check requests should be used to request payment for goods and services where a PO is not warranted. Specific procedures will be developed by the Associate Vice Chancellor of Business Support Services and approved by Executive Council. Expands use of credit cards to include small dollar purchases in addition to travel (Chancellor to approve procedures).
While the intent is to require purchase orders for purchases of $2,500 or more, there are some circumstances where purchase orders are not appropriate. For instance, we do not issue purchase orders for memberships, utilities, registration fees and lease payments.
CF Purchasing
and Acquisition
Allows goods and services to be purchased from an employee’s family member if the award results from a competitive sealed bid process and the family member’s bid is the lowest bid.
D.1.04 Conflict of Interest
Removes the requirement for the bid to be sealed but adds a requirement that the purchase cannot be under the authority of the employee’s department or division. Expands the definition of family member including a reference to significant other and life partner.
This revision was made to comply with a change in the law.

CFA Contracting
Board approval is required for all contracts with a term exceeding one year.
D.2.02 Threshold for Board approval of contracts is increased to $50,000 regardless of the term. Board approval is not required for legal services.
The Board will no longer be required to approve small dollar, multi-year contracts. This policy change was made to conform to the current business practice which preserves the confidentiality of legal matters.
CFA Contracting
Educational agreements refer to agreements between the System and a third party for establishing the terms for the sharing or use of facilities, staff, or other educational resources in which no funds are exchanged between the parties. Educational use agreements will be reported to the Board by the Chancellor at least twice annually.
D.2.03 Educational Agreements
Removed the reference to “funds exchanged” in the definition of educational agreements. Reduced the reporting requirement to annually.
These policy changes will increase efficiency by reducing routine paperwork and reporting requirements.
CFA Contracting (Procedure)
Professional Services Agreement section of procedure requires contracts for $25,000 or more to be approved by the Board.

Services

PROPOSED POLICY COMMENTS
CFA Contracting
Purchases of $2,500 - $9,999 require 3 written quotes. Purchases of $10,000 - $24,999 require advertising and related procedures. Purchases of $25,000 or more require a formal competitive process and approval by the Board.
D.4.04 Administrative Requirements
Minor purchases less than $5,000 do not require a competitive process. For purchases of $5,000 - $9,999, quotes can be obtained by phone, fax or email as long as they are documented. Purchases of $10,000 - $24,999 require written quotes from three vendors. Purchases of $25,000 and above are required to be coordinated through the Director of Purchasing and require a formal competitive process. Requires purchases of $50,000 or more to be approved by the Board. Requires emergency and sole source purchases of $50,000 or more to be approved or ratified by the Board.
Clarifies the policy. While the coordination with purchasing was not specifically stated in the previous policy, this is the current business practice.

All vendors are charged with the responsibility to discover an individual or an organization’s authority before any purchase, contract or debt is incurred. Persons making unauthorized purchases shall assume full responsibility for all such debts.
D.1.02 Forms of Purchase:
The System utilizes four forms of purchasing: check requests, approved credit card transactions (including Procurement Cards), petty cash disbursements, and purchase orders.
a. Check Requests should be used to request payment for goods and services where a purchase order is not warranted. Specific procedures concerning the use of check requests are to be developed by the Associate Vice Chancellor for Business Support Services and approved by the Executive Council.
b. System credit cards may be used to purchase travel-related services, including registration for approved conferences, and other small dollar purchases as approved by the Chancellor or Executive Council.
c. The Petty Cash Fund is set up to fund “out of pocket” expenditures by the employees of the System. Petty cash fund use must be approved in advance by the supervisor and no petty cash expenditure may exceed $75.00. Each petty cash expenditure shall be documented with a receipt appropriate to the purchase.
d. All other purchases shall be made by purchase order. All purchase orders shall be under the control of the System Purchasing Department. Creditors of the System shall be notified that purchase commitments made without a properly drawn purchase order and not authorized by the System Purchasing Director, or other designee of the Chancellor, will not be honored for payment.
D.1.03 Responsibilities of LSCS Employees:
All System employees engaged in the purchasing processes are to conduct themselves fairly, objectively, and will observe the confidentiality of the decision-making and award processes so as to serve the best interests of the System.
D.1.04 Conflict of Interest:
Purchases are not authorized from an employee or members of an employee’s family, nor are purchases authorized from a company in which an employee or his or her family member owns a five percent (5%) or greater interest. For purposes of this policy, a family member (natural, foster, adopted or step), means a spouse, child, in-law, sister, brother, mother, father, grandparent, significant other or life partner.
A purchase that would otherwise not be permitted because of this conflict of interest policy may be allowed if obtained via a competitive process and:
a. The goods or services being purchased are not under the direct or indirect authority of the approving employees’ department or division, and;
b. The family member’s bid is the lowest price bid that meets all bid specifications.
D.1.05 Vendor Relations:
The Texas Ethics Commission has adopted a conflict of interest questionnaire that requires a vendor to disclose the vendors’ business relationships and certain gifts or income provided to local government officers and/or their family members that may cause a potential conflict of interest with the System.
The records administrator of the System shall maintain a list of local government officers of the entity and shall make that list available to the public and any vendor who may be required to file a conflict of interest questionnaire.
These completed questionnaires are subject to the Public Information Act and shall also be made available on the System’s website.
D.1.06 Purchase Approval:
Regardless of the transactional form of the purchase, each purchase must be approved in advance by the appropriate budget manager or authorized designee and funds must be available in the appropriate budget.
D.1.07 Purchasing Procedures:
Purchasing procedures are to be developed by the Associate Vice Chancellor for Business Support Services and approved by the Executive Council.
2. Contracting
D.2.01 Definitions:
a. Contract
As used in this policy, the term "contract" refers to all written documents, whether entitled contracts, leases, licenses, memoranda of understanding, purchase orders, informal letter agreements and other instruments and agreements that seek to obligate the System or any of its colleges, programs or activities to pay money, to purchase insurance, to provide staff or other in-kind services to a third party. The term contract does not include any form of oral agreement.
b. Approval
As used in this Policy, the term "approval" refers to the process of securing necessary approval of the form, contents and business terms of a proposed contract from a member of the Board, the Chancellor, LEO, or authorized designee authorized by this Policy to give approval to the contract.
c. Execution
The execution of an agreement by an authorized System official, and the other party or parties to the contract makes the contract enforceable against the System.
Any contract requiring Board approval pursuant to this Policy, must be approved by the Board of Trustees, and executed by the Board Chair, the Chancellor, or authorized designee. However, any employment contract is to be executed by both the Board Chair and the Chancellor.
d. Renewals or Amendments
As used in this policy, the term "renewal" refers to the practice of extending the term of an already executed contract for an additional length of time. The term "amendment" refers to the practice of revising specific terms of an already executed contract. Amendments to contracts must be approved and executed at the same level of authority as the underlying contract.
e. LEO
As used in this policy, Location Executive Officer ("LEO") refers to System Vice Chancellors and Presidents.
D.2.02 Board Approval:
The following types of contracts require the approval of the Board of Trustees:
a. Employment contracts;
b. Finance agreements;
c. Purchases or sales of real property;
d. Contracts, excluding legal services, and leases with a term exceeding one year (including options to renew) that have a cumulative expenditure of $50,000 or more over the contract term;
f. Contracts involving the sale of intellectual property or technology transfer, including software licenses, owned in whole or in part, by the System.
D.2.03 Educational Agreements:
Board approval is not required for educational agreements. For purposes of this policy, educational agreements refer to agreements between the System and a third party for establishing the terms for the sharing or use of facilities, staff, or other educational resources. Educational agreements will be reported to the Board by the Chancellor at least annually.
D.2.04 Delegation of Authority:
Unless delegated pursuant to another section of this Policy Manual, the Board delegates to the Chancellor the authority to approve and execute contracts not specifically required by this Policy or by law to be approved by the Board. The Chancellor is authorized to delegate specific contract authority to System LEOs and the System's Director of Purchasing. The Chancellor or authorized designee shall develop procedures to implement this section which shall specify the type of contract authority delegated to administrative positions, the process to secure legal review of such contracts and any permitted sub-delegation authority, if any.
No employee or agent of the System has the authority to enter into any contract on behalf of the System, except as otherwise expressly provided by this Policy. If a System employee signs a contract without authority, or falsely represents to a third party that he or she has authority to sign a contract, the employee may be held personally responsible to the third party under Texas law. An agreement that is not expressed in writing and approved and executed in accordance with this Policy, shall not be binding on or enforceable against the System.
Any employee who signs a contract or seeks to bind the System to an agreement in violation of this Policy may be subject to discipline, up to and including discharge of employment.
3. Purchasing of Professional Services
D.3.01 Authority:
Professional Services Agreements, excluding legal services, with a value of $50,000 or more over the contract term, shall be approved by the Board of Trustees. Professional Services Agreements with a value of less than $50,000 over the contract term must be approved by the Chancellor, LEO, or authorized designee
D.3.02 Definition:
Professional services include, but are not limited to: accounting, technology, financial, auditing, architecture, landscape architecture, land surveying, medical, optometry, professional engineering, legal, real estate appraising, or professional nursing.
D.3.03 Scope of Service:
Professional service providers are independent contractors retained to provide services to the System when regular employees, within the scope of their employment, cannot provide such services.
Procurement of professional services must be conducted in accordance with the Texas Government Code for Professional Services, to the extent applicable. This requires that contracts for the procurement of defined professional services may not be awarded on the basis of competitive bids. Instead, these contracts must be awarded on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications to perform the services, so long as the professional fees are:
a. Within the budget for the services;
b. A fair and reasonable price;
c. Do not exceed any maximums provided by state law; and
d. Consistent with, and not higher than, the recommended practices and fees published by the applicable professional associations.
D.3.04 Term of Service:
The Board may engage a professional services provider for a maximum period of five years. However, the Board will retain the right to terminate the engagement at any time upon due notice, such notice never requiring more than thirty (30) days prior notice.
A professional service provider currently under contract is eligible to respond to a request for proposal/qualifications for a subsequent term.
4. Purchasing of Goods and Services
D.4.01 Purchasing Authority:
The System shall comply with Texas Education Code Section 44.031 in establishing open and fair purchasing and bidding practices that provide the best value to the System.
Board approval is required for purchases or contracts of $50,000 or more over the contract term including options to renew. Authority for purchases and contracts for the procurement of goods or services below $50,000 can only be delegated by the Chancellor. Delegated authority to procurement personnel may be removed if unacceptable behavior or job performance is observed.
The authority to approve purchase orders, check requests, and employee expense and petty cash reimbursements is given to directors, managers and other employees as delegated by the Chancellor and LEOs.
D.4.02 Policy Applicability:
This policy applies to the purchase of tangible personal property or services except as follows:
a. Purchases of real property; or
b. Purchases of professional services (see “Purchasing Professional Services” subsection, above);
D.4.03 Purchasing Objectives:
When purchasing equipment, supplies, materials, services, hardware, and software, the two factors which drive the purchasing process, and the decisions to be made, are:
a. Obtaining the best overall value for the System; and
b. Fairness. Procurement activities shall be conducted in an open and fair manner with equal opportunity provided to all qualified suppliers. The System will provide equal contracting opportunities as provided by federal, state and local laws and regulations to historically underutilized businesses.
The purchase of equipment, supplies, materials and services shall be based upon a competitive process, except as otherwise provided in this Policy. Purchases may not be subdivided to avoid the competitive requirements of this Policy.
D.4.04 Administrative Requirements:
Unless otherwise covered by the sections above or required by law to meet other requirements, all purchases of goods or services made on behalf of the System shall meet the administrative requirements outlined below.
a. Purchases Valued Below $10,000
Minor purchases of goods or services less than $5,000 in value may be made without a competitive process.
Purchases of goods and services valued at $5,000 or more and less than $10,000 shall follow an informal competitive process that includes obtaining at least three quotes. These quotes may be obtained by telephone, fax, or other electronic means, and shall be documented and accompany the purchase requisition.
b. Purchases Valued at $10,000 or More and Less than $25,000
Purchases of goods or services that are $10,000 or more and less than $25,000 shall be made by requesting written quotations from at least three (3) vendors on the System Purchasing Department vendor list or any additional vendors the System elects to include. Written quotations
shall accompany purchase requisitions.
c. Purchases Valued at $25,000 or More
All purchases of $25,000 or more for goods or services shall be coordinated through System Purchasing Department. These purchases shall follow a formal competitive process that includes:
i. Pre-qualification and selection of suppliers;
ii. Standards and specifications;
iii. Requests for bids/proposals;
iv. Submission of bids/proposals, and public openings; and
v. Award of purchase orders and contracts.
c. Administrative Approval
Purchases valued at $25,000 or more and less than $50,000 require approval by the Associate Vice Chancellor for Business Support Services.
d. Board Approval
All purchases of $50,000 or more for goods or services require Board approval, except as otherwise stated in this policy.
e. Emergency and Sole Source Purchases
At times, it may not be in the System’s best interest to engage in a formal competitive process. Purchases necessary to respond to emergencies (situations that jeopardize public or employee safety, or that could result in significant financial or operational loss), and sole source purchases which are purchases where only one supplier can provide the product or service (e.g. the product or service is protected by patent, copyright or trademark; or due to schedule conflicts, etc., only one supplier can provide the product or service when it is required) do not require a formal competitive process. Sole source purchases must be justified in writing and approved in advance by the System Director of Purchasing. Emergency purchases must be justified in writing and approved in advance by the Chancellor for purchases $50,000 or more, by the Vice Chancellor for Business Affairs/CFO for purchases between $50,000 and $25,000 and by the Associate Vice Chancellor of Business Support Services for less than $25,000. Emergency and Sole Source purchases of $50,000 or more must be approved or ratified by the Board of Trustees.
f. Inter-local Purchase Agreements
The System may enter into an inter-local purchase agreement with another local government or with the state or a state agency to purchase goods or services. Inter-local purchase agreements that are $50,000 or more, whether payable in a one time payment or in installments, over the
contract term, shall be approved by the Board of Trustees. Purchases may be made through the agreement without a competitive bid process after a market analysis determines that the best value for the System is through the agreement. Documentation of the best value decision must accompany purchases for $25,000 or more.
D.4.05 Departure from Policy:
There may be instances that justify a departure from the normal competitive process. Departures from this policy shall be approved, in advance, by the Chancellor or authorized designee.
D.4.06 Contract Award Criteria:
In awarding a contract, the System must consider:
a. Purchase price, including delivery and installation,
b. The reputation of the vendor and of the vendor’s goods or services,
c. The quality of the vendor’s goods or services,
d. The extent to which the goods or services meet the System’s needs,
e. The vendor’s past relationship with the System,
f. The impact on the ability of the System to comply with laws relating to historically underutilized businesses,
g. The total long-term cost to the System to acquire the goods or services, and
h. Any other relevant factor specifically listed in the request for bids or proposals.
D.4.07 Long-Term Contracts:
The use of long-term contracts is encouraged to maximize the efficiency of the procurement process or to optimize long-term pricing. Long-term contracts shall not exceed five years. A contract that exceeds the end of the System’s fiscal year must include a provision that permits termination at the end of the fiscal year if funding is unavailable.
D.4.08 Bidding Requirements:
All bidding practices shall be in conformance with state law. The System will establish practices to identify when bids shall be required and when other practices of obtaining needed goods and services shall be utilized.
Bid openings shall be public and those submitting bids are invited to attend. The Board or authorized designee has authority to reject any and all bids.
All bids shall be conducted through the System Purchasing Department unless specific authorization is granted through Board approval.
The System may hold pre-bid conferences and may, upon proper notice, make the attendance at such a conference mandatory. The System will not open or consider any bid submitted by any vendor who did not attend a mandatory pre-bid conference.
D.4.09 Surety Bonds:
The System may, at the discretion of the Chief Financial Officer, require bid surety, payment bonds and performance bonds.
Bid surety bonds shall be returned to all bidders except the successful bidder at the time the award is made. The surety bond of the successful bidder shall be retained until the merchandise has been delivered and inspected for quality and other requirements of the bid.
D.4.10 Personal Purchases:
System employees shall not be permitted to purchase supplies or equipment for personal use through the System, or through special discounts and arrangements made between the System and its qualified vendors.
D.4.11 Further Guidance:
Guidelines and procedures for compliance with this Policy shall be developed and implemented by the Chancellor or authorized designee.
5. Petty Cash Purchases
D.5.01 Petty Cash Purchases:
Petty Cash Funds are intended to handle small, "out of pocket" expenditures by the employees of the System. Each Petty Cash Fund must have a custodian of record who is responsible and accountable for managing the fund. Petty cash audits are to be performed by an administrative business officer or designee, other than the fund’s custodian, as part of routine oversight of business procedures. There is a limitation of $75 for any one transaction. Purchases may not be subdivided to fall under this $75 limit.
Policy Report and Consideration No. 2 (ACTION ITEM 2) Board Meeting 4-3-08
Request: Consideration of the Approval of a Joint Election Agreement with City of
Conroe, City of Magnolia, City of Oakridge, City of Panorama, City of
Patton Village, City of Shenandoah, City of Willis, City of Woodbranch
Village, Conroe ISD, EMCID, Magnolia ISD, Montgomery County ESD
#5, Montgomery County ESD #6, Montgomery County ESD #12,
Montgomery County MUD #9, New Caney MUD, River Plantation MUD,
Splendora ISD The Woodlands Township and MUD #94 (collectively
referred to as Participating Entities)
Chancellor’s
Recommendation: That the Board of Trustees approve holding a joint election with the
Participating Entities in Montgomery County. At the March 6, 2008
Board meeting, the Board approved a joint election with Montgomery
County Hospital District. The Montgomery County Hospital District will
not be having contested elections in May 2008; therefore, to be able to
share election supplies, election officials, county precinct polling locations
and electronic voting equipment where appropriate, LSCS desires to enter
into the joint agreement with the Participating Entities.
Rationale: The sharing of facilities, election officials, election equipment and
expenses will result in greater convenience for voters and is permitted
under Section 271.002(a) of the Texas Election Code.
Fiscal Impact:
Approximately $100,000 based on previous election costs of the college
system. Funds are available in the 2008-2009 operating budget.

Policy Report and Consideration No. 3 (ACTION ITEM 3) Board Meeting 4-3-08
Request: Authorize the Redemption Prior to Maturity of Certain Outstanding
Bonds
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees authorize the Vice Chancellor for
Administration and Finance to redeem the outstanding Series 1997
variable rate bonds of $2,530,000 on May 1, 2008.
Rationale: On June 19, 1997, the College System issued $20,000,000 of Variable
Rate Demand Notes (variable rate bonds) for campus improvements. At
the time of issue, fixed rate bonds would have had an interest cost of
approximately 5.50% versus a variable rate of 4.15% The interest rate for
the variable rate bonds are reset weekly and have averaged approximately
2.70% since issuance.
The College System has previously retired $17,470,000 of the variable
rate bonds. The remaining bonds can be redeemed at par in whole or in
part on the 1st of each month.
Recently, FGIC, the bond insurance company underwriting the credit
rating of the variable bonds, has been downgraded from “AAA” to “A3“.
As a result, interest rates on variable rate bonds that are insured by FGIC
have increased. The College System’s variable rate bonds were reset to
9.00% for the week 3/20/2008 through 3/26/2008. The $2,530,000 of
bonds issued by the College System represent the only variable rate bonds
outstanding within the System’s debt portfolio.
Fiscal Impact: In the current market, the District could save an estimated $379,000 in
debt service costs per year by avoiding the maximum possible rate of
15%.

Curriculum Report and Consideration No. 1 (ACTION ITEM 4) Board Meeting 4-3-08
Request: Consideration of Approval to Deactivate Lone Star College-North Harris
Child Development and Family Studies (CDFS) Program
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees approve the deactivation of the CDFS Program
at LSC-North Harris
Rationale: Since 2003, enrollments in the Child and Family Studies Program (CDFS)
have been precipitously declining. For example, headcounts dropped
from 177 in spring 2003 to 81 in spring 2007 and total contact hours
dropped from 20,208 in spring 2003 to 8,976 in spring 2007. Graduates
with either an Associate of Applied Science degree or a Certificate of
Competency dropped from an average of 18 from 2002 – 2004 to an
average of 6 from 2005 – 2007. Enrollment and market factors do not
justify the continuance of the CDFS program. The State of Texas
requires only six hours of training-credit or non-credit-for a certificate in
child care.
The Coordinating Board and our ISD partners have been notified of the
deactivation plan.
The college will cease taking new students into the program as of summer
2008 and is designing a curriculum to meet the needs of students already
in the program so that they may finish by 2009. The two full-time
instructors will be reassigned to the Continuing Education division or to
the credit education program (Associate of Arts in Teaching.) The
program will become a Continuing Education Workforce training program
offering certificates but not requiring credit college courses.
Fiscal Impact:
None.

Curriculum Reports and Considerations No. 2 (ACTION ITEM 5) Board Meeting 4-3-08
Request: Consideration of Approval to Deactivate Lone Star College-North Harris
Geographic Information System (GIS) Program
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees approve the deactivation of the GIS Program at
LSC-North Harris
Rationale: Factors that have contributed to the decision to deactivate this program at
LSC-North Harris only are the high cost of the program (software and
equipment) and the lack of substantial increases in enrollment even
though much effort has been put into recruitment of students. The average
class size for all the courses that were paid at full price was 7.8 students
per class. The other classes that were offered were on a pro rata basis to
assist students in meeting their goals of certificates or degrees.
The Coordinating Board has been notified of the intent to deactivate. No
new students will be admitted to the program beginning Summer 2008. A
letter will be sent to every student in the program, announcing the
deactivation and proposed GIS class schedules with days and times from
Summer 2008 through Fall 2009.
The professor, who will be retiring as of 31 May 2008, has worked with
the students who are presently enrolled in the program (both certificates
and degree) and has determined a schedule of classes to be offered to help
students complete their programs. Adjunct faculty will teach the GIS
classes .
Lone Star College–Cy-Fair will continue to offer the GIS
certificates/degree program, and North Harris will offer classes through
Continuing Education.
Fiscal Impact:
None.

LONE STAR COLLEGE SYSTEMINVESTMENT PORTFOLIO REPORT
AS OF FEBRUARY 29, 2008
Financial Report and Consideration No. 3 (ACTION ITEM 6) Board Meeting 4-3-08
Request: Consideration of Approval to Purchase Environmental Professional
Services for Environmental Site and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Assessments
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees approve the purchase of environmental
professional services for environmental site and IAQ assessments for
construction related projects for an estimated amount of $115,000 over a
period of one year from the following vendors:
Arias & Associates, Inc., 1030 Logandale, Houston, TX 77032
Terracon, 11555 Clay Road, Suite 100, Houston, TX 77043
TGE Resources, 6120 W. by Northwest Blvd, Ste 100, Houston, TX 77040
Rationale: Environmental site assessments are utilized to evaluate real estate
property for potential or existing environmental contaminations. IAQ
assessments are comprised of asbestos testing, abatement oversight,
preparation of management plans, mold assessment, remediation
oversight, and post-remedial testing. This approval will enable the
college system to respond quickly to emergency IAQ concerns such as
mold. In addition, these services will be required for future construction
projects.
In May 2007, a Request for Qualification for professional services was
released to eighteen environmental consultants and eight responses were
received. Based upon an evaluation of the environmental consultants’
statements of qualifications related to site and IAQ assessments, three
firms were interviewed by a seven member selection committee.
The selection was based upon the firms’ level of experience, Historically
Underutilized Business (HUB) status, assigned project team, size of the
firm and services offered. The committee discussed the interviews and
determined that all three firms are qualified to serve the college system’s
environmental consulting needs. The projects will be awarded based upon
the assigned workload, annual spending with the firm and project time
sensitivity.
According to Texas Education Code Chapter 2254.003, competitive bids
shall not be solicited for professional services. Contracts for such
professional services are made on the basis of demonstrated competence
and qualifications to perform the services for a fair and reasonable price.
Fiscal Impact: These services will be funded from the repair and replacement budget,
operating funds and bond funds.

two faculty members a Faculty International Exploration grant in fall
2006 to research study abroad program opportunities in Italy. In
summer 2007, the faculty traveled to Italy to visit possible instructional
facilities and explore potential field trips that would enhance the
students’ study.
As a result of this exploration, LSC-CyFair initiated a relationship with
the Restoring Ancient Stabiae Foundation, a non-profit foundation
established by the Vesuvian International Institute for Archeology and
Humanities at Castellammare di Stabia, Italy. The foundation offers
opportunities for study and scholarship in connection with the largest
on-going archeological project in the European Union.
The faculty developed a study abroad program consisting of a learning
community combining the History Western Civilization and Geography
with instruction at LSC-CyFair and in Italy. This study abroad program
will consist of four weeks of residential instruction in Italy at the
Vesuvian International Institute and other locations including field trips
to historic and cultural sites in the Vesuvian region.
The Vesuvian Institute is a comprehensive residential study abroad
facility providing access to the unique cultural resources of the Vesuvian
region including Pompeii. Specifically, the Institute offers secure room
and board at a competitive price and facilities tailored for instruction
including classrooms, an auditorium, a computer lab and wireless
internet access. In addition, on-site logistical support includes local
transportation.
Pursuant to Texas Education Code Subchapter B., Sec. 44.031 A(i), a
sole source purchase is justified for an item for which competition is
precluded because of the existence of a patent, copyright, secret process
or monopoly. The unique combination of facilities is tailored primarily
to instruction and is exclusive to the Vesuvian Institute. Research has
confirmed that local hotels, programs from area colleges and
universities, and major instructional travel agencies were not able to
meet all the required criteria for this program.
Fiscal Impact: An estimated $20,000 will be paid with funds collected from traveling
participants and funds for the balance of this purchase, $12,000, are
included in the approved FY 2007-08 operating budget for LSC-CyFair
and the System International Education Office.

Request: Consideration of Approval to Purchase Airport Safety Operations Training
for the Airport Planning and Management Program at LSC-North Harris
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees approve the purchase of airport safety operations
training for the Airport Planning and Management Program at LSC-North
Harris from the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE), 601
Madison Street, Alexandria, VA 22314 for an estimated amount of $52,500.
Rationale: LSC-North Harris Corporate Training department manages a contract for
professional services with the City of Houston to provide comprehensive
training programs for the Houston Airport System (HAS). This contract is
effective through December 2008 and includes an option to renew for one
additional year.
To fulfill the requirements of the City of Houston contract, LSC-North
Harris is required to provide a variety of corporate training services
including communication skills, safety, organizational effectiveness and
leadership, technical skills, and core management and employee programs.
Safety and operations classes will be provided to airport operations
personnel at all three airports (Ellington, Hobby, and Bush) of the HAS.
Pursuant to Texas Education Code Subchapter B., Sec. 44.031 A(i) a sole
source purchase is justified for an item for which competition is precluded
because of the existence of a patent, copyright, secret process or monopoly.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for safety of
civil aviation in the United States. The FAA has partnered with AAAE to
exclusively provide the required airport safety operations training.
Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are available from the approved FY 2007-08
operating budget for LSC-North Harris.

Request: Consideration of Approval to Renovate Restrooms at LSC-Tomball
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees approve the renovation of restrooms at LSC-
Tomball from the lowest bidder, Texas Star Construction, 1219 Wunsche
Loop Road, Spring, TX 77373 in the amount of $193,097.
Rationale: This project will consist of the renovation of fourteen restrooms at LSC-
Tomball. The existing restroom walls are covered with vinyl wall
covering. The seams are peeling away and the wall covering is torn in
places. In addition, the colors are outdated and no longer available. The
vinyl wall covering will be replaced with ceramic tile for an updated
appearance and to improve maintenance and cleanliness. The existing tile
in the restrooms will be restored, including the removal of unhealthy
contaminants and odors, to leave the tile with a new appearance.
The plastic laminate faced toilet partitions will be replaced with solid
plastic partitions and stainless steel hardware that have a longer life cycle.
The partitions will be resistant to moisture, odors, rust, mildew, and
graffiti. As with the tile, the new partitions will require less maintenance
and are easier to clean.
In addition, six restrooms on the second floor of the main building will be
brought into compliance with the Texas Accessibility Standards.
Renovations will include widening the stalls and adjusting various toilet
accessory mounting heights.
Request for proposals were sent to twenty-nine contractors and five
construction brokerage firms. Three responses were received. See
attached Bid Tabulation.
Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are included in the approved FY 2007-08 repair
and replacement and operating budgets for LSC-Tomball.

Request: Consideration of Approval to Replace Cooling Tower Fill at LSC-
Montgomery
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees approve the replacement of the cooling tower
fill at LSC-Montgomery from the lowest bidder, Letsos Company, 8465
Westglen Dr., Houston, TX 77063 in the amount of $70,059.
Rationale: Cooling tower fill is the primary heat transfer surface of the cooling tower
and allows for heating of the air and evaporation. Over time, the fill
deteriorates and reduces the efficiency of the heat transfer process, which
in turn reduces the chiller’s efficiency, wastes energy, and increases
energy costs. This project will consist of the replacement of the
deteriorating fill on three cooling towers at LSC-Montgomery.
Preventive maintenance is necessary for all mechanical equipment,
including cooling towers. Without maintence, the cooling towers will
have a shorter operating life and degradation of performance. This project
will also include the annual inspection and cleaning of the three cooling
towers.
Request for proposals were sent to thirty-nine contractors and five
construction contractor brokerage firms. Two responses were received.
See attached Bid Tabulation.

Financial Report and Consideration No. 9 (ACTION ITEM 12) Board Meeting 4-3-08
Request: Consideration of Approval to Ratify Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara (UAG) and Approve
the Purchase of Travel Services for Literature Immersion Program Students
at LSC-Montgomery
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees ratify the MOU with UAG, AV Patria #1201,
Lomas Del Valle, Zapopan Jalisco Mexico 45110 and approve the
purchase of travel services for Immersion Program students for an
estimated amount of $30,000 annually for a total amount of $90,000 over
the remaining contract term.
Rationale: Intermediate Spanish I and II classes are open to college credit and
continuing education students over the age of 16. The course curriculum
includes a study abroad trip to Guadalajara, Mexico. The study abroad
program provides language and cultural programs, excursions and housing
including meals with a Mexican family. For FY 2007-08, an estimated
thirty students and three faculty and staff, as chaperones, will attend this
program.
To support the study abroad program, a five year MOU was executed by
the campus president and chancellor with UAG in June 2005. The contract
term is effective through 2010. The immersion program at UAG is
recognized internationally featuring seven levels of Spanish instruction
taught by credentialed faculty.
It is essential to visit a Spanish speaking country such as South America,
Spain or Mexico to support the course curriculum. Selection of a location
included safety, quality of programming and cost. Spain and South
America were considered as an option, but the flights were longer and
more expensive than Mexico. When selecting a location in Mexico, the
primary factor was safety. The UAG program offered a safer environment
for students than other areas.
Board Policy CFA (local) requires contracts more than one year to be
executed by the Board of Trustees. Since 2006, UAG has provided LCS-
Montgomery students with a quality program that is affordable and
provides housing in a safe community, excursion transportation utilizing
UAG buses, and cultural amenities of a historic city. As a result, course
enrollment has grown from the initial three students to thirty students. It is
requested that the Board ratify the MOU.
At the time of the execution of the MOU, the class enrollment was only
three students. The total cost of the initial purchase was less than $25,000
and did not require the Board of Trustees approval or a formal competitive
bid process.
Fiscal Impact: An estimated amount of $30,000 will be paid annually with funds collected
from traveling participants and funds for the chaperones are included in the
approved FY 2007-08 operating budget. Funds for subsequent years will
be included in future proposed budgets.

Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees approve the DIR purchase of Cisco
networking equipment from Calence, LLC, 1130 Rutherford Lane, Suite
208, Austin, TX 78753, for an estimated amount of $380,000.
Rationale: The college system requires networking hardware for the existing Local
Area Network/Wide Area Network infrastructure and the voice over
Internet protocol telephone system. In addition, LSC-CyFair requires
networking equipment for the new modular buildings and to support the
needs of new faculty and staff scheduled to start in August 2008. This
purchase will consist of various Cisco networking hardware including
internet protocol phones, network switches, wireless access points and
cabling.
The network hardware is available through the DIR cooperative
purchasing program. Local Government Code Section 2251.001
provides the legal authority for local governments to participate in the
State of Texas purchasing programs. The District’s ability to participate
in the DIR cooperative was approved by the Board on October 15, 1992.
A market analysis has confirmed that the prices offered by Calence,
LLC are competitive and provide the best value for the college system.
Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are included in the approved FY 2007-08
operating and technology fund budgets.

(TCPN) Lease of Temporary Modular Buildings for LSC-CyFair and
LSC-Kingwood
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees approve a two year lease of temporary
modular buildings for LSC-CyFair and LSC-Kingwood from Williams
Scotsman Corporation, 7915 FM 1960 West, Suite 115, Houston, Texas
77070 in the amount of $727,663.
Rationale: Modular buildings are required at LSC-CyFair and LSC-Kingwood to
accommodate student enrollment growth in Fall 2008. The existing
facilities are utilized to capacity. The modular building at LSC-CyFair
will include seven instructional classrooms bringing the total number of
classrooms in temporary facilities to twenty. This modular building will
also provide an additional conference room, storage room and full
restroom amenities. At LSC-Kingwood, the modular building will
include three instructional classrooms and eight faculty offices.
The term of the lease agreement will be for a period of two years
commencing September 2008 through August 2010. The college system
has the option to renew the lease for an additional year. At the end of the
initial two year term, either party may terminate the lease agreement upon
thirty days written notice. The lease includes delivery, building
installation and skirting, site preparation, electrical service, plumbing
services, fire alarms, data and communications, entry wooden decks,
ramps and canopies, dismantling and return of the modular building
complex.
At the May 2001 Board of Trustees meeting, the Board approved an
interlocal agreement and resolution with TCPN, which is sponsored by
the Region IV Education Service Center. Under Board Policy CFB and
Title Intergovernmental Relations Chapter 791 of the Texas Government
Code, a local government may agree with another local government or
with the state or a state agency to purchase goods and services. The local
government that purchases goods and services under such an agreement
satisfies the requirement of the local government to seek competitive bids.
A market analysis has confirmed that the prices offered by William
Scotsman are competitive and provide the best value for the college
system. In addition, the buildings will coordinate with the existing
temporary building currently utilized system-wide.
Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase will be included in the proposed FY 2008-09
operating budget for the System. Funds for subsequent years will be
included in future proposed budgets.

Office Furniture for LSC-CyFair
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees approve the USC cooperative purchase of
classroom and office furniture for LSC-CyFair from Debner &
Company, 8020 Katy Freeway, Houston, TX 77024 for an estimated
amount of $300,000.
Rationale: Due to the continued enrollment growth at LSC-CyFair, a new modular
building with classrooms and offices will be installed in the summer for
classes beginning in Fall 2008. Additionally, a large learning studio in
the Technology building and the faculty/staff training center in the
Library building will be reconfigured to accommodate additional
training space and staff offices. This purchase will consist of desks,
tables, chairs, office workstations, credenzas, file cabinets, shelves, etc.
At the December 2002 Board of Trustees meeting, the Board approved
an interlocal agreement and resolution with USC to purchase goods and
services. Under Board Policy CFB and Title 7, Intergovernmental
Relations, Chapter 791, subchapter 791.025 of the Government Code, a
local government may agree with another local government or with the
state or a state agency to purchase goods and services. The local
government that purchases the goods and services in this manner
satisfies the requirement of the local government to seek competitive
bids.
A comparative market analysis was completed in February 2008 prior to
the purchase of furniture for the third modular building. The analysis
confirmed that the purchase from Debner & Company provided the best
value. All items will match existing furniture at LSC-CyFair to maintain
a consistent campus-wide appearance.
Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are included in the approved FY 2007-08

Request: Consideration of Approval to Authorize the Chancellor or Designee to
Negotiate and Execute a Multi-Year Contract for Bookstore Operation
Services
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees authorize the chancellor or designee to
negotiate and execute a multi-year agreement for bookstore operation
services with Follett Higher Education Group located at 1818 Swift
Drive, Oak Brook, IL 60523-1567.
Rationale: The college system provides on-campus bookstores to provide academic
and instructional books and materials for enrolled students. In 1999, the
Board of Trustees approved an agreement with Follett Higher Education
Group to operate the college system’s bookstores. The original contract
was for a period of eight (8) years beginning May 1, 1999 and ending
April 30, 2007. In 2004, the Board amended the contract due to the
addition of the CyFair campus. This amendment added an additional
one year to the contract term. The contract is due to expire on April 30,
2008.
Proposals were requested from five leading bookstore operation
providers and four responses were received. It is recommended to
award the contract to Follett Higher Education Group, which received
the highest total awarded points. Follett offers strong experience in
higher education with more than 250 community colleges serviced in
the United States, technologically advanced e-commerce capabilities,
strong sales history of used textbooks to reduce costs to students, a
wholesale book operation that provides access to a large number of used
books, commitment to customer service including a secret shopper
program and credible references. See attached Bid and Evaluation
Tabulations.
The six member evaluation committee represented all five campuses
and the System Office and consisted of both faculty and staff. The
committee completed an extensive evaluation of the proposals and
presentations. Proposals were independently evaluated by each
committee member on student benefit and services including returns and
buyback policy; commission and book scholarships; quality of the
goods or services provided; extent to which the goods or services meet
LSCS's needs; company experience and financial stability; e-commerce
capabilities; references; utilization of historically underutilized
businesses; and completeness and thoroughness of proposal.
Based upon the proposal evaluation, the top two candidates with the
highest number of points, Follett and Validis Resources, were requested
to make presentations to the evaluation committee. The presentations
were evaluated on the Respondent’s past performance with institutions
similar to the college system including total annual sales; percent of
used book sales; customer service satisfaction; annual student savings;
plans to lower textbook costs; online ordering systems; objectives to
combat internet pricing; contract exclusivity privileges; proposal
overview focusing on key factors; and cost of packing, returns and
freight recovery.
Fiscal Impact: Bookstore commission payments are included in projected revenue for
the auxiliary fund. Bookstore sales for the current year are expected to
exceed $15M, which would produce approximately $1.6M in
commissions which are calculated from 9.5% to 11% of sales under the
current contract. The proposed commission structure would result in
$1.8M in commissions for the same level of sales as the current year,
which is a 12.5% overall increase.

Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees approve the entrustment agreement for lathe
equipment for the CNC program at LSC-North Harris with Haas
Automation Corp., 2800 Sturgis Road, Oxnard, CA 93030.
Rationale: The CNC Operator/Programmer certificate program at LSC-North Harris
provides training to students desiring a career in CNC Machining. This
program requires access to CNC machinery for 128 contact hours of
hands-on experience to learn CNC mill and lathe operations.
The contract term is April 3, 2008 to October 31, 2009. Negotiations
toward a possible renewal will take place at least 60 days prior to the
expiration of this agreement.
Haas Automation has entrusted LSC-North Harris with the CNC lathe,
accessories, and warranty support at no cost. The existing equipment will
not be updated at this time since there has not been a significant change in
the equipment technology. In exchange for the use of the equipment and
necessary accessories, LSC-North Harris will designate a laboratory in the
Applied Science & Technology Building as the “Haas Technical
Education Room”, assist Haas Automation by recommending students for
internships and cooperative programs, and permit Haas customers to tour
the designated room upon 48 hours notice.
Board Policy CFA (local) requires Board approval of all contracts with a
term exceeding one year and for all renewals and amendments extending
the term of an already executed contract for an additional length of time.
Fiscal Impact:

subsidiary of Ingersoll-Rand Corporation).
Rationale: In partnership with Hussman Corporation, LSC-North Harris intends to
expand the existing Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
program by adding a Commercial Refrigeration Certificate. The inclusion
of a Commercial Refrigeration Certificate has met with HVAC Advisory
Council approval. This collaborative agreement will result in the no cost
loan of equipment from Hussman to LSC-North Harris and enable
instructors to attend professional development courses at Hussman’s
Climate Control Technical Learning Center free of tuition.
The contract term is April 3, 2008 to December 31, 2009. Negotiations
toward a possible renewal will take place at least 90 days prior to the
expiration of this agreement.
Hussman Corporation has entrusted LSC-North Harris with the sandwich

Request: Consideration of the Execution of a Second Amendment to the Water
Furnishing and Waste Disposal Contract with Memorial Hills Utility
District
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees Execute a Second Amendment to the Water
Furnishing and Waste Disposal Contract with Memorial Hills Utility
District.
Rationale: In May 1975, the College System entered into a water furnishing and
waste disposal contract with Memorial Hills Utility District (MHUD) to
provide domestic potable water and sanitary sewer treatment services to
the North Harris campus. In August 1991, the contract was amended to
allow Memorial Hills to provide water and sanitary treatment services to
several Aldine Independent School District facilities through the use of
the College System’s piping systems.
In January, 2008 Memorial Hills issued a memo to Lone Star College
System (LSCS) indicating that a request had been received to provide
water and sanitary services to the Eassman Lane Business Park through
the College System’s pipe systems. The MHUD consulting engineer has
verified there is ample capacity and it will not affect delivery of services
to LSC-North Harris.
In allowing the connections to serve the Eassman Lane Business Park,
Memorial Hills will assume permanent responsibility for maintenance and
repair of those segments of the College System’s piping used to serve the

Financial Report and Consideration No. 19 (ACTION ITEM 22) Board Meeting 4-3-08
Request: Consideration of Approval of an Agreement between Lone Star College
System and the North Houston Greenspoint Chamber of Commerce
(NHGCC) to Lease Space at the Lone Star College-Greenspoint Center
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees approve the lease agreement under the terms and
agreements approved by the LSCS Board of Trustees and the NHGCC Board
of Directors.
Rationale: The North Houston Greenspoint Chamber of Commerce is actively looking
for new space in the Greenspoint area to better serve its mission of
community, economic and workforce development in the area. Lone Star
College-Greenspoint Center has available space and is also committed to the
same mission. Serving the Greenspoint and Aldine areas is a high priority
for LSCS and this agreement will facilitate that goal. This partnership will
be an in-kind arrangement where the NHGCC leases approximately 420 sf
for office space and has another 280 sf at fair market value. The payment
will be in the form of various sponsorships, advertisements, and social events
in a sum total of over $25,000 that LSCS would normally pay for
participation.
Fiscal Impact:
None.

Financial Report and Consideration No. 20 (ACTION ITEM 23) Board Meeting 4-3-08
Request: Consideration of Approval of the Proposed Guaranteed Maximum Price
(GMP) Agreement for the Renovation of the Dining/Kitchen Facility at
LSC-North Harris
Chancellor’s
Recommendation:
That the Board of Trustees authorize the Chancellor or his designee to
negotiate and execute a GMP agreement with Teal Construction
Company, 1335 Brittmoore, Houston, TX 77043 in an amount not to
exceed $3,600,000 for the renovation of the Student Dining/Kitchen
Facility at LSC-North Harris.
Rationale: On December 12, 2007, the Board of Trustees approved Teal
Construction Company as the Construction Manager (CM)-at-Risk for
construction projects at LSC-North Harris including the renovation of the
dining room and food preparation area. As the CM-at-risk, Teal works
directly with designated engineers and/or architects to prepare
construction documents and will act as the general contractor, assuming
the risk of subcontracting the work and guaranteeing completion of the
projects. A GMP, which operates as a “not-to-exceed” cap on
construction costs, will be submitted by Teal.
The GMP will represent all the required construction services including
abatement, demolition, and fire proofing, flooring, electrical, plumbing,
heating and ventilation, interior finishes, landscaping and roofing for the
student dining/kitchen facility at LSC-North Harris. In addition, it will
include the purchase of the required kitchen equipment.
The actual GMP for the renovation of the dining/kitchen facility will be
reported to the Board of Trustees at a future board meeting.
Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are budgeted in the 2007 revenue bond proceeds
and the approved FY 2007-08 repair and replacement budget. A portion
of the project will be completed in the beginning of the 2008-09 fiscal
year and the associated cost will be included in the proposed 2008-09
repair & replacement fund budget.

Building and Grounds Report Board Meeting 4-3-08
Report: Construction Projects Update
The District’s plant operations and facilities department has provided a summary
report of the District’s construction projects. See attached report.
Monthly Facilities Planning and Construction Report April 3, 2008
General Obligation Bond Project Summaries:
LSC - Tomball
Entry Column Renovation - Due to significant pricing increases, a new replacement
system for the failing entry column tile will be designed and bid. The proposed
system will ensure a safe and warrantable solution. Evaluation of the proposed new
system and associated costs is underway.
Air & Water Balance - The scope of work involves rebalancing the air and hot water
distribution. The project should be 90% complete by the end of March 2008. The
completion of the project has been delayed because needed repairs were identified for
some existing equipment. The project team is evaluating what action is necessary for
each repair issue.
LSC - System Office
Entrance Canopy Repairs - Work on the repair and replacement of the entry canopies
continues. This project was delayed because of rain. It is scheduled for completion by
the end of March.
Revenue Bonds - Project Summaries:
LSC - North Harris
Dining and Food Preparation Area Renovation – Bids have been received for the
construction of this project. The project costs came in more than the allocated budget.
The project design is being reviewed to determine what can be revised to bring the
project in line with the budget.
Replace Water and Sanitary Services – Design proposals have been requested to
develop engineering documents for water and sanitary connections for new
replacement services. A phased approach to designing and implementing the new
services is contemplated to allow for both initial connections and also further
development of an improved water distribution system for the campus. A request was
also made to the Richey Road Municipal Utility District (MUD) to develop a service
agreement. A meeting has been requested with Aldine ISD to discuss the potential
impact on the school district.
Electrical Infrastructure Upgrades – Meetings have been held with the engineer to
define the scope of work and begin developing plans and specifications for bidding.
Construction documents will be released for bids in May 2008. The project will be
presented to the Board of Trustees for consideration of approval at the June regular
board meeting.
Building Automation System Upgrades – The final design review for the replacement
system is in process. The project bid date will be scheduled as soon as all technical
issues are resolved to ensure that a satisfactory upgrade is accomplished. Installation
is planned to begin in June 2008.
Fire Alarm Upgrades - The existing fire alarm system requires minor upgrades to
improve the system’s operability because some components are not fully integrated
into the main campus system. The scope of the project has been re-evaluated to
ensure that only the required upgrades are implemented.
LSC - Montgomery
Renovate Building F Patio – Construction began during the winter break.
Construction has continued, and the project is scheduled for April completion.
Replacement of Variable Speed Drives – This project was awarded at the February
regular board meeting. Shop drawings have been approved by the engineer, and the
equipment has been ordered. The substantial completion date will be established after
the equipment has arrived.
Electrical System Upgrades – The engineer has completed the drawings and
specifications. The request for proposals was released at the beginning of March
2008. Bids will be presented to the Board of Trustees for consideration of approval at
the May regular board meeting.
LSC - Kingwood
Emergency Generator for Student Center/Fine Arts Building – The project is
scheduled for June completion.
Fire Alarm Upgrades - The existing system requires upgrades to improve operability
and maintenance. The project bid will be scheduled as soon as all technical issues are
resolved to ensure that a satisfactory upgrade is accomplished. Installation is planned
to begin in June 2008.
Security System Upgrades - The design phase for the replacement system is nearly
completed. The second review of the design documents is underway along with
development of the bid specifications and documents. The project bid will be
scheduled as soon as all technical issues are resolved to ensure that a satisfactory
upgrade is accomplished. Installation is planned to begin in June 2008.
Roof Repairs and/or Replacement – A selection process to recommend a roofing
consultant/designer has been initiated. The project involves full replacement of the
roofing systems of the original buildings which are almost 23 years old and at the end
of useful life.
LSC - Tomball
Building Automation System Upgrades – The design documents are being further
reviewed, and the bid specifications are being developed. The project bid will be
scheduled as soon as all technical issues are resolved to ensure that a satisfactory
upgrade is accomplished. Installation is planned to begin in June 2008.
Security System Upgrades - The design phase for the replacement system is nearly
completed. The second review of the design documents is underway along with
development of the bid specifications and documents. The project bid will be
scheduled as soon as all technical issues are resolved to ensure that a satisfactory
upgrade is accomplished. Installation is planned to begin in June 2008.
Roof Repairs and/or Replacement – A selection process to recommend a roof
designer has been initiated. The project was planned for a roof replacement; however,
infra-red testing on the roof system indicated that a full replacement may not be
required. The selected consultant will further verify the infra-red test results and
recommend the appropriate course of action to resolve all existing roof issues.
