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.

CURRENT POLICY

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.

CURRENT POLICY

NEW SECTION

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.

D.3 Purchasing of Professional

Services

Deleted procedure and added Policy. Increased threshold for Board approval to $50,000. Set maximum term of service agreement as five years.

OLD SECTION

CURRENT POLICY

NEW SECTION

#


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.


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.

Resource: Helen Clougherty 832-813-6514


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.

Resource: Steve Head 281-618-5440

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.

Request: Consideration of Approval to Purchase Travel Services to Italy for the

Study Abroad Program at LSC-CyFair

Chancellor’s

Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees approve the purchase of travel services to

Italy for the study abroad program at LSC-CyFair from Vesuvian

Institute, Via Salario 12, Castellammare di Stabia (Napoli), Italy 80053,

for an estimated amount of $32,000 based upon the current exchange

rate.

Rationale: The Lone Star College System International Programs office awarded

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.

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.

Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are included in the approved FY 2007-08 repair

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.

Request: Consideration of Approval of Department of Information Resources

(DIR) Purchase of Cisco Networking Equipment

Chancellor’s

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.

services for the President at LSC-Kingwood from Association of

Community College Trustees (ACCT), 1233 20TH

Street, NW #301,

Washington, DC 20036, for an estimated amount of $42,000.

Rationale: Lone Star College System is searching for a President for LSC-Kingwood

(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.

Request: Consideration of Approval of U.S. Communities Government

Purchasing Alliance (USC) Cooperative Purchase of Classroom and

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

operating budget for LSC-CyFair.

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.

Request: Consideration of Approval of the Entrustment Agreement for Lathe

Equipment for Computer Numerically Control (CNC) Program at LSC-

North Harris

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:

None. Haas Automation will provide all necessary equipment and

accessories at no cost.



Request: Consideration of Approval of Entrustment Agreement for GSVM

Sandwich Cooler for the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning

(HVAC) program at LSC-North Harris

Chancellor’s

Recommendation:

That the Board of Trustees approve the entrustment agreement for the

sandwich cooler equipment for the HVAC program at LSC-North Harris

with Hussman Climate Control Technical Learning Center, 314 West 90th

Street (MS 27), Minneapolis, MN 55420 (Commercial Refrigeration

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

cooler, accessories, and warranty support at no cost. In exchange for the

use of the equipment and necessary accessories, LSC-North Harris will

permit Hussman customers to tour the facility 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:

None. Hussman Corporation will provide all necessary equipment and

accessories at no cost.



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

Eassman Lane Business Park. The additional user could reduce the cost

of services.

Fiscal Impact: No Fiscal Impact.



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.



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

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.
