[2. Certification of Notice Posted for the Meeting]
>> MR. CHAIR, NOTICE OF THE POST WAS POSTED ACCORDING TO SECTION GOVERNMENT COULD 551 Â" 054.
[4.1. Dallas College Facilities Management]
>> OUR AGENDA FOR TODAY IS THE FIRST ITEM IS GOING TO BE BASICALLY, A PRESENTATION AND UPDATE ON COLLEGE FACILITY MANAGEMENT PROGRAMMING.
ACCORDING TO THIS BASICALLY, TRYING TO MAY BE SOMEWHAT SUMMARIZED SOMETIMES, AS I'VE SAID TO YOU BEFORE AS CHAIRMAN, I MEET WITH JOHN AND HIS TEAM A WEEK BEFORE TO KIND OF GO TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND I TAKE IT UPO MYSELF SOMETIMES TO BRING FORTH SOME ITEMS OF DISCUSSION THAT I LOOK AT, THAT BEGGED FOR A DIFFERENT EXPLANATION OR LITTLE MORE EXPLANATION.
AND BECAUSE I AM NEW TO THE BOARD, A LOT OF THINGS THAT Y'ALL KNOW AND UNDERSTAND, I DON'T.
ONE OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO HEAR QUICKLY TODAY, IS THAT IN YOUR PACKAGE THAT YOU GOT, 199 PAGES OR WHATEVER.
SOMETIMES IT'S HARD FOR ALL OF US TO FIND THAT BUT I WILL ENCOURAGE YOU AS BOARD MEMBERS, TO SPEND TIME AND I KNOW LOTS OF TIMES -- ONE OF THE THINGS I LOOK AT BEING ON THE ACCOUNTING SIDE, IS THAT I LOOK AT, JUST HAD A QUESTION HOW WE WERE PROGRESSING WITH CHANGE ORDERS THAT WE HAD AND AS AN AUDITOR, ONE OF THE VERY FIRST TEST OR MATERIALITY.
WHEN I LOOK AT MATERIAL ADJUSTMENT, IT GETS MY EYE.
WE HAVE ONE LARGE ADJUSTMENT IN THE CHANGE ORDER RELATED TO THE PROGRAM SO I SAT DOWN WITH JOHN AND WENT THROUGH THIS WITH HIM TO UNDERSTAND IT MAY COME OUT AS A QUESTION ABOUT SOMEBODY LATER BUT I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING IS BASICALLY, TWO CONTRIBUTIONS TO THAT TYPE OF LARGE ADJUSTMENT IS BEING A LAWSUIT WE BEEN INVOLVED IN, A LOT OF THE ASPECTS OF CONSTRUCTION ARE RELATED TO TIME OR MONEY SO THAT IS ONE INFORMATION AND THE OTHER IS JUST, WE ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCED INFLATION AND EXPERIENCING SOME -- NOT ALL OF THAT -- I WENT THROUGH THAT BUT WHAT YOU KNOW THAT I WILL TRY TO DO THAT, I KNOW EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS TO ME WON'T MATTER TO Y'ALL BUT ONE THING I DID SPEND TIME GETTING GREAT DETAIL EXPLANATION, I DID KNOW THAT BACK IN JUNE, JOHN CAME TO US AND LAID EVERYTHING OUT AND SAID HERE IS $50 MILLION WE WILL SPEND AND SO, I'M REVIEWING THE REVIEWING PROCESS AND A AGENDA ITEM AND ALL THAT.
IT DOESN'T BECAUSE IT'S IN THE BUDGET BOOK.
AND SO, I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP BEFORE YOU STARTED.
I DO GET INTO THE STUFF A LITTLE BIT.
WITH THAT, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND BRING IT BACK LATER ON.
>> I WILL DO LITTLE BRAGGING, -- REAFFIRMED OUR AAA RATING, WE ARE SET TO
[00:05:07]
MEET WITH THEM AND WE EXPECT FULLY, TO SEE THE REAFFIRMATION OF STANDARDS AND IF ULTIMATELY WE ARE ON THE RIGHT PATH.WE HAVE A GROUNDBREAKING THAT WILL HAPPEN MARCH 10, THE CHAIR HAS AGREED TO SPEAK AND I THINK TRUSTEE WILLIAMS HAS AGREED TO SPEAK.
Y'ALL SHOULD BE GETTING THAT, PATTY DID A GREAT JOB ON DOING THIS AND THE PRESIDENT REALLY HELPED WITH THIS PUTTING IT ON THE CAMPUS, WE WILL BE DOING THIS MARCH 24.
AND THEN ALSO WORKING WITH DOCTOR TAYLOR AND DOCTOR C BROOKS ON -- AND CEDAR VALLEY AND WILL GET THOSE COMING UP AND LET YOU ALL KNOW WHEN THOSE GROUNDBREAKING CZAR GOING ON.
THAT IS ALL POSITIVE STUFF OF WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO.
SCOTT IS THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF FACILITIES AND HE'S GOING TO EXPLAIN SOME THINGS TODAY, SOME SCIENTIFIC REALLY, PUT IN A WAY THAT IS REALLY EASY TO UNDERSTAND, WE'RE MAKING A LOT OF IMPROVEMENTS ON WHERE WE ARE GOING WITH FACILITIES.
I AM EXCITED TO TALK ABOUT THIS.
[INAUDIBLE] TODAY WE HAVE THE AGENDA WE BEEN WORKING ON.SAID, WE ARE -- [INAUDIBLE] TEAMWORK, INTEGRITY, SERVICE.
IN SUMMARY, WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS THAT -- WANT TO SEE CUSTOMERS AND WANT TO BE MINDFUL AS FAR AS SUSTAINABILITY.
[INAUDIBLE] WE HAVE KEY PERFORMANCE TO HELP SUPPORT THE INSTITUTIONAL -- IN PARTICULAR, EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE.
[INAUDIBLE] INDUSTRY-STANDARD -- AS YOU APPROACH .
4, TELLS YOU YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING, YOU NEED TO LOWER THE NUMERATOR AND FOR MAINTENANCE.
OR MAYBE WE CAN SAY.[INAUDIBLE] SOME MATH AND DATA ARE BEHIND
[00:10:03]
DECISIONS.I DON'T HAVE THESE NUMBERS YET.
OVER THE PAST -- [INAUDIBLE] NOW WE CAN DEVELOP THE DATA.
ONCE WE DO THAT WE STRIVE TOWARD.[INAUDIBLE] THAT IS THE FIRST.
>> CAN YOU HAVE DISTRICTWIDE SCORES AS WE CLEARLY SEE IF WE ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING?
>> YES IT REALLY TELLS A STORY, EACH PARTICULAR BUILDING.
BUT YOU CAN ROLL IT INTO A CANVAS TO GIVE YOU -- >> TO THE POINT EARLIER, HAD THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY WERE SOME CAMPUSES WHERE WE ARE NOT AS VESTED AS WE SHOULD.
AND THIS SCORE SHOULD GIVE US SOME VISIBILITY.
YOU WOULD TOTAL -- [INAUDIBLE] >> THE OTHER POINT IS THAT YOU LOOK AT THE MAIN PLAN, FACILITY PLANNING, HAVING THIS KIND OF INFORMATION ALONG WITH THE NEED OF THE FUTURE, IT LETS YOU SEE WHERE YOU MIGHT THINK I WOULD PUT THAT OVER THERE BUT I'M NOT, I'M GOING TO PUT OVER HERE BECAUSE OF THE FACTOR THAT WE KNOW ABOUT.
AND SO, THIS IS EXTREMELY TIMELY, EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO BUILDING A FACILITY FOR THE USE FIRST TO DEVELOP THE POLICY.
WE BASED ON FACTS, NOT OPINIONS.
>> I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT.[INAUDIBLE] AND SAY OKAY, WE DON'T WANT THAT MUCH -- THERE IS NO FINISH LINE.
THE SECOND KPI HAS TO DO WITH PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.
TO ME THIS ONE -- ANY KIND OF MAINTENANCE.
[INAUDIBLE] EVERY DOLLAR YOU SPEND -- YOU WILL NOT FIX SOMETHING -- [INAUDIBLE]
[INAUDIBLE] >> SO THE INDUSTRY-STANDARD -- 80 PERCENT OF HER TIME SHOULD BE ON PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.
IF YOU DOING THAT, AS YOU SEE, YOU'VE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND REACTIVE MAINTENANCE.
IF SOMEONE TELLS ME SOMETHING WE REACT TO SOMETHING HAPPENS AND WE REACT, RIGHT? SO WE DOING A PREVENTATIVE SCHEDULE MANNER VERSUS REACTION.
[00:15:01]
YOU GET TO THE POINT WHERE YOU ARE 80 PERCENT -- [INAUDIBLE] YOUR EFFICIENT, FACILITIES ARE IN A PLACE WHERE -- WILL BE MUCH MORE FLUID IN OUR OPERATIONS.WE HAD IN PREVIOUS FACILITY PLAN WE PURCHASED COLORED SOLUTION FOR MANAGEMENT IT'S TMA, THAT'S NOT AN ACRONYM IS THE NAME OF THE COMPANY.
WE WILL BE ABLE TO COME UP WITH AND DISCOVER, I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE -- [INAUDIBLE] THAT'S OKAY WE WILL STRIVE TO GET TO THAT 80 PERCENT.
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOT BE REACTIONARY.
ANY QUESTIONS? TRANSITIONING A LITTLE BIT TO NEW AND IMPROVED SERVICES.
WE NOW HAVE A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER ON EVERY SINGLE CAMPUS.
IN THE PAST WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT.
WE HAD A COUPLE OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS WHICH WAS CONFUSING TO ME BECAUSE ALL THE ACTION IS HAPPENING IN THE CAMPUSES.
SO NOW WE HAVE ONE ON EVERY CAMPUS.
AND THEN YOU CAN THINK OF IT AS TWO HEADS TO THE OPERATION.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AND THE FACILITY MANAGER WHICH IS OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE.
FACILITIES HELP DESK, I HAVE THE PICTURE OF THE LADIES IN THE HELP DESK.
THAT'S A CENTRALIZED OFFICE WHERE ALL OF THE COLLEGE WORK ORDERS AND REQUESTS AND PHONE CALLS GOING TO THE HELPDESK AND HANDLE THIS.
FROM THERE, THEY CREATE THE REQUEST TO WORK ORDERS AND GET DISPATCHED OUT TO THE CAMPUSES ACCORDINGLY.
THE ENERGY MANAGEMENT WE HAD AN ENERGY MANAGER IN PLACE BEFORE -- ACQUISITION MOVED OVER AND WE HAVE A LOT OF GREAT THINGS WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT.
THE WORK ORDER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS TMA.
THE SPECIALIZED CONSOLIDATED SERVICES.
THESE ARE LICENSED, TRAINED, HIGHLY SKILLED PEOPLE AND ALL OF THE TRADES THAT YOU SEE LISTED, HVAC, FIRE, PLUMBING, ETC. ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS THEY DID WAS THEY HELP US STREAMLINE BECAUSE WE ARE DOING A LOT OF WORK IN HOUSE NOW.
PROBABLY YOU KNOW ALMOST 0 BEFORE NOW ALMOST ALL OF THE SAFETY IS IN-HOUSE.
AND THEN SLEEP SERVICES, WE NEVER HAD THAT BEFORE.
WE OR RESEAL THE MAINTENANCE AND PROVIDE FUEL AND REDO THIS IS A SERVICE.
AND LASTLY, CAMPUS EMPLOYEES FOCUSED ON PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.
TO HELP FOCUS ON PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE.
>> WE HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF PREVIOUS -- TO THE COLLEGE ENTERPRISE AND WE HEARD ABOUT THE HR AND FINANCE MODULES.
IS IT DESIGNED -- [INAUDIBLE] >> I WAS ACTUALLY ON THE.[INAUDIBLE] ALL THAT APPLIED, ALL TALKED ABOUT IN MODULE.
BUT I WAS UNIMPRESSED BECAUSE WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE COLISEUM AND COMPUTER MANAGEMENT -- AND AUTOMATED BASIS AND YOU CAN DO A LOT OF THINGS.
I WASN'T IMPRESSED WITH THE MODULE.
JUST KIND OF STUCK ON THEIR BUT HAD A PROPOSED PARTNERSHIP WITH TMA, AND WE HADN'T EVEN.[INAUDIBLE] THEY WERE ALREADY EXISTING PARTNERS.
[00:20:04]
AND THEY DID PROPOSE ANY MODULE.-- SOME PARTNERSHIP SO THAT WE CAN KEEP USING OUR SYSTEM AND IT WILL BE KIND OF SEAMLESS.
GETTING INTO SOME OF THE FINANCIALS AND SOME OF THE PROJECTS WE ARE DOING.
SEVERAL TIMES THE FACILITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN, IS IN THE THIRD ITERATION, STARTED IN 2019, WHEN I CAME ABOARD JOHN HIRED ME TO GET OFF GET THAT GOING I AM PROUD TO SAY IS GOING GREAT.
I HAVE IN FISCAL YEAR 20, OR PROJECTS WERE COMPLETED EXCEPT FOR ONE, THE NL FIRE ALARM.
IT'S A PRETTY INTENSE PROJECT.
ALL ADDITIONAL PROJECTS BECAUSE AS MONEY IS FREED UP FROM OTHER PROJECTS, AND THE PROJECT DID NOT USE IT ALL, ANY ADDITIONAL PROJECTS ALSO COMPLETE.
FISCAL YEAR 21 ALMOST ALL COMPLETE, THEY HAD SOME SWITCHGEAR DELAYS DUE TO COATED COVID.
21 ALL ADDITIONAL PART IS COMPLETE, 22 PROJECTS ARE ONGOING AND THE SOME OF THIS, ABOUT $25 MILLION A YEAR SO ACROSS THREE YEARS $75 MILLION AND ABOUT 130 PROJECTS.
IT IS A VERY HEALTHY FACILITY IMPROVEMENT BUDGET.
[INAUDIBLE] THIS IS 21 SO I WANT, AS WE GO THROUGH, HAVE A COUPLE PICTURES.
I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW PROJECTS.
IN THE LOWER LEFT, THAT IS BREAKEVEN.
YOU CAN SEE THE AMOUNT THAT WE PUT ON, THAT 45+ -YEAR-OLD METAL ROOFS.
BETWEEN HAIL AND EVERYTHING ELSE THERE WEAKENING WE HAD TO REPLACE THINGS PRETTY CAN SEE THE AMOUNT THAT WE ARE DONE HERE TO THE RIGHT, THAT IS.[INAUDIBLE] WE ARE INSTALLING FIRE SPRINKLERS.
HE DIDN'T HAVE THEM PREVIOUSLY IS A GLIMPSE OF A VERY LARGE PROJECT.
THERE IS NOT A CEILING TILE IN THE ENTIRE BUILDING.
YOU CAN FEEL THE WIRES, MCCAIN DID AND CLEANED UP SOME STUFF UP THERE BECAUSE THE CEILING WAS EXPOSED.
SO BRING IN THE PROJECT IS VERY IMPACTFUL TO THE CAMPUS.
>> ON THE BROOKHAVEN PHOTO, THE ROOFS, WAS THAT TAKEN WITH A DRONE?
>> A LOT OF THE ROOFS WERE COPPER.
BUT SCOTT HAD A VENDOR WE'VE BEEN USING WHO BASICALLY SAID, HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT USING THE PVC.
HAVE A RIDGED TYPE PVC AND I CAN MATCH THAT TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE COPPER.
AND I BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL AT BROOKHAVEN AND THERE ARE NO LEAKS.
BUT, IT WAS A FRACTION OF THE COST WE WOULD HAVE SPENT REPLACING THE ROOFS.
>> IS A PVC SINGLE PLY ROOF WHICH IS THE STANDARD.
THAT IS WHAT I PUT ON EVERY ROOF.
THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR, TRYING TO PRESERVE THE LOOK OF BROOKHAVEN, MAY HAVE A.[INAUDIBLE] IT IS THE AESTHETIC TOUCH TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE LIKE -- BUT IT IS PVC.
AND BY THE WAY, IT WAS ALL DONE BY COMPANY OWNED BY.[INAUDIBLE] >> LOCAL?
>> THEY WERE TRYING TO ESTABLISH -- AND BASED ON THE PROJECT THEY NOW HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION.
NOT ONLY DID WE UTILIZE THEM BUT THEY WERE ABLE TO ESTABLISH -- >> THAT'S
[00:25:10]
GREAT.WHAT IS A LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THAT TYPE OF ROOF?
>> I WOULD SAY TYPICAL, UPWARDS OF 20 TO 25 YEARS.
>> MORE PROJECTS, I WILL GO REACH ONE BUT HAVE A PICTURE TO THE UPPER LEFT.
IT IS THE BRAND-NEW CHILLER AT MOUNTAIN VIEW.
IT WAS ACTUALLY TAKEN -- [INAUDIBLE] A VERY INTERESTING PROJECT, BRAND-NEW MODERN BOILERS WE HAVE INSTALLED.
I WISH I HAD A BEFORE PICTURE BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A HORROR MOVIE.
THEY USED TO BE VERY LARGE INEFFICIENT, DANGEROUS STEAM BOILER.
AND THEY HAD TO RUN THIS -- NOW YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE -- TYPE BOILERS.
IF YOU LOOK AT NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER USAGE COMPARED TO 2019, OBVIOUSLY I DIDN'T COMPARED TO 2020.
WE SAW ABOUT A 54 PERCENT REDUCTION IN GAS USAGE FROM THE BOILERS.
I'M GOOD AND THE GOALS THAT YOU SHARED IN THE BEGINNING, YOU'VE WON ON ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT.
>> AND THEY WERE TIRED OF TAKING COLD SHOWERS!
>>.[INAUDIBLE] THIS IS NOT USING THE PLASTIC BOTTLES AND IT TELLS YOU HOW MANY BOTTLES.
IT TELLS YOU HOW MANY EQUIVALENTS TO HOW MANY BOTTLES YOU SAVED.
>> USUALLY IT ALL ADDS UP AND IT WINS THE BALLGAME.
>> IS THERE BUILDING SPECIFIC FACILITY, SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU PRESENTED ON EARLIER.
THAT MEASURES SUSTAINABILITY, THE ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN TRACK THAT BUILDING BY BUILDING, CAMPUS BY CAMPUS ACROSS THE DISTRICT, AND SET GOALS AND FIGURE OUT WHAT WOULD IT COST FOR US TO GET THERE, WAS A LONG-TERM RETURN.
BECAUSE THE BOARD HASN'T SEEN AN APPROACH LIKE THAT BUT WHAT YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT THESE THINGS IT SEEMS LIKE IT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE.
>> YES SO, AS YOU JUST MENTIONED THE STRATEGIC PLAN HAS TO DO IS WITH SUSTAINABILITY.
YOU WILL SEE THINGS LIKE, I'LL GIVE YOU SOME INSIGHT.
GETTING RID OF ALL KNOB STYLE FAUCETS IN THE COLLEGE.
BECAUSE PEOPLE LEAVE THE WATER ON AND ESPECIALLY.[INAUDIBLE] ALL WILL GO TO 1.5 GALLONS PER FLUSH.
ALL OF THIS WILL HAVE LED AND TRANSITION THE ENTIRE COLLEGE.
EVERY SINGLE -- INSIDE AND OUT WE WILL FORM LITTLE PLAN AND GET IT DONE.
AND EACH GOAL, I CAN, USING MY REALLY SMART ENERGY MANAGER, HE CAN HELP ME PUT NUMBERS TO ALL OF THE STUFF.
IF WE RETROFIT ALL THE FLUSH VALVES WE CAN PUT ACTUAL NUMBERS.
THAT IS WHERE THE 54 PERCENT REDUCTION CAME FROM.
I DON'T KNOW IF WE CAN DO IN REAL ELEGANT -- BUT I CAN CERTAINLY FIND A WAY TO PRESENT THIS TO QUANTIFY AND BRING BACK QUARTERLY REPORTS.
I CAN QUANTIFY, I WILL FIND A WAY TO DO THAT PER CAMPUS OR PER PROJECT.
>> ALSO, UTILIZING THE STUDENTS AND THE APPRENTICESHIP TYPE PEOPLE IN HVAC, ELECTRIC, ALL THAT WE ARE STARTING TO USE MORE AND MORE INSTEAD OF
[00:30:01]
CONTRACTORS AND HE'S AUTOMATING HIS STAFF WITH THOSE PEOPLE.>> THINGS LIKE 54 PERCENT REDUCTION, IT'S A GREAT THING BUT IT'S GONE.
IT DOESN'T GIVE US ANY VISIBILITY INTO OVERALL SUSTAINABILITY EFFECTIVENESS.
THAT IS THE WAY YOUR START TO THINK ABOUT SOME AREAS AND IF WE CAN DO THAT IS A SUSTAINABILITY I THINK IT WOULD BE REALLY VALUABLE.
BUT ANYWAY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING -- >> AGAIN THIS IS THE PRECURSOR TO THE QUARTERLY MEETINGS AND REALLY EXCITED.
MY TEAM DOES SUCH GREAT HARD WORK AND I WAS TALKING EARLIER, WE USUALLY DO IT PURPOSEFULLY ON THE WEEKENDS OR DURING SPRING BREAK AND WE DON'T SEE THIS, SOME VERY PROUD TO STAND APPEAR AND TELL THE STORY THAT WE WOULDN'T OTHERWISE HEAR.
YOU KNOW, WE DID SOME AESTHETIC STUFF, I TOOK THEM UP AND SHOWED THE ROOF, THINGS THAT HE WOULDN'T NORMALLY SEE SO I'M VERY HAPPY TO TELL US.
AND I WILL GET BETTER AND BETTER.
I DID HAVE, I'M VERY PROUD THIS IS AN INTERESTING PROJECT IS ONE OF THE FIRST WE DID.
AGAIN, AS WE DO THAT, ALL THE MONEY COMES OFF THE NUMERATOR MORE AND MORE YOU DO IT.
-- HERE IS THE BEGINNING OF FISCAL YEAR 22.
THE PICTURE YOU SEE HERE THESE ARE ACTUAL SWITCHGEAR FROM BROOKHAVEN, A DISCUSSION ABOUT TRANSITIONING AND ALL THE SPECIFIC STUFF.
THIS IS A LOT OF THE STUFF NOW INSTALLED AND STAGING FROM THE PROJECTS.
>> THERE IS STILL SOME, NOT ALL OF THIS IS INSTALLED BECAUSE AGAIN, THE DELAYS I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
AND I THINK COMING UP WE WILL GET ALL OF THIS THE NEXT ROUND.
THERE IS STILL SOME, BUT WE ARE WORKING TO MAKE IT ZERO.
>>.[INAUDIBLE] >> FOR THREE YEARS NOW, WE'VE BEEN CHIPPING AWAY AT IT.
>> AND AGAIN, HERE THE SUSTAINABILITY PART I WANTED TO -- I CAN'T SEE THAT SCREEN.
THERE'S ONE PROJECT IN PARTICULAR I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT FROM A SUSTAINABILITY STANDPOINT.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT WHICH IS NORMALLY, USUALLY INTRODUCING THE COST WHICH PLAYS INTO THE SUSTAINABILITY.
WE ARE GOING TO TURF THE BASEBALL FIELD AT EASTFIELD.
AND ORIGINALLY THIS GOT BROUGHT UP TO ME KIND OF AS ENOUGH ATTIC IMPROVEMENT AND IT DOES THINGS LIKE IT IS SAFER, HE CAN GET ON IT MUCH QUICKER AFTER RAINS ETC. SO IT'S A BONUS BUT WANT TO START LOOKING AT, THERE IS ALL OF THE SUSTAINABILITY STUFF THAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE SLIDE.
YOU HAVE TO CUT IT SO THERE WAS FIELD, THE MOWERS.
1.2 MILLION GALLONS OF WATER PER YEAR THAT WE WILL SAVE.
SO ALL THE WATERING THAT HAPPENS DURING THE SEASON, AND DURING GAMES, BETWEEN INNINGS THEY SPRAY THE FIELD DOWN SO ALL THE WATER IS SAVED.
THIS IS JUST ONE BASEBALL FIELD.
ALL OF THE LIQUID CHEMICALS, SOLID CHEMICALS TO KEEP THE LEAVES AND ALL THE STUFF OUT WILL NOT BE USED ANYMORE.
AND THE MOWERS AND OTHER EQUIPMENT, THE COACHES DO NOT HAVE TO STRIKE THE FIELD ANYMORE.
NOW THAT WILL NOT BE HAVE TO BE PURCHASED.
THIS IS A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE, IT IS REALLY WHERE I'LL TRY TO GET TO.
THERE'S AN OPERATIONAL BENEFIT, A SUSTAINABILITY BENEFIT, THERE IS AN
[00:35:04]
OPPORTUNITY COST.DOING ALL THE MAINTENANCE ON THE FIELD, OUR EMPLOYEES CAN DO SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF DOING THAT.
THAT IS ONE PARTICULAR PROJECT.
SOME OF THE STUFF THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THIS WAS AN INTERESTING ONE TOO.
THERE IS A THING CALLED POWER FACTOR CORRECTION.
WHAT IT MEANS IS, IN A COMMERCIAL BUILDING, THERE'S A LOT OF MOTORS.
THERE MOTORS AND FANS AND COOLING TOWERS AND CHILLERS AND ALL THE STUFF.
IT CREATES WOULD CALL AN INDUCTIVE FLOW.
THAT CREATES THIS SEPARATION OF APPARENT POWER.
SO THINK OF IT LIKE THE REAL POWER ACTUALLY DOES THE WORK AND APPARENT POWER IS JUST WASTED AND ALL OF THE MOTORS IS JUST DISSIPATING.
IT HAS TO BE GENERATED, IT HAS TO BE TRANSMITTED AND PAID FOR SUCH A HUGE AMBITIOUS -- THE WAY YOU COME BACK IS SOMETHING CALLED CAPACITORS.
I SAY ALL THAT IS THAT YOU INSTALL TO REDUCE THE INDUCTIVE LEVEL AND THEN INDUCE THE AMOUNT OF UNUSED POWER YOU CAN SEE THE LITTLE BOX DOWN THERE.
IT'S ABOUT HALF $1 MILLION PROJECT, THEY PAY BACK IN UNDER FIVE YEARS AND HAS A SUSTAINABILITY, WE ARE NOT USING THIS ENERGY, WE ARE NOT ASSUMING IT AT ALL, SO IT IS NOT EVEN BEING TRANSMITTED.
>> TO THE RIGHT IS EXISTENCE WHICH THUS THE NEWLY INSTALLED EQUIPMENT THAT INTRODUCES THE CAPACITORS THAT I TALKED ABOUT WHICH REDUCES -- I SAY ALL OF THIS
TO SAY -- >>.[INAUDIBLE] >> WE ARE BEING MUCH MORE GOOD STEWARDS AND REDUCED ENERGY AND MORE SUSTAINABLE.
AGAIN, THESE ARE THINGS THAT I WOULDN'T HAVE SEEN HAD I NOT BUT THIS HERE SO I'M EXCITED TO TELL YOU ABOUT ALL THIS STUFF.
OKAY, COMING IN FROM THE END OF THE SECOND YEAR, IT WAS A $30 MILLION ALLOCATION, STARTED OUT WITH 35 SOME ODD PROJECTS.
AND THINGS HAPPEN AND MOVE AND SHAKE, TWO THINGS WE RELOCATED SOME OF THIS.
ONE WAS THE LEASE, FOR THE BUILDING THAT THE CLINIC WAS IN.
IT EXPIRED AND WE HAD TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT.
AT THE SAME TIME, THE FBI WAS MOVING OUT OF PARAMOUNT.
WE HAVE THAT OPEN UP AND WE'VE SINCE RENOVATED.
AND I GOTTA TELL YOU, I'VE ONLY SEEN PICTURES.
BUT IT IS JUST SPECTACULAR YOU CAN SEE TWO PICTURES JUST QUICK LITTLE PICTURES OF HOW GOOD THIS LOOKS.
AND THEN THE SATELLITE ENERGY PLAN.
THE BUILDINGS GOING ON AT MOUNTAIN VIEW, CURRENT PLAN CANNOT SUPPORT THEM FOR HVAC OR CHILLED WATER, HOT WATER.
SO WE WILL CONSTRUCT A SATELLITE ENERGY PLAN WE USE SOME OF THIS AS WELL.
HERE ARE SOME OTHER PROJECTS THAT REMAIN.
I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS PICTURE REAL QUICK.
YOU CAN SEE BEHIND THE PILLAR.
THE TIMING RIGHT? THIS IS CEDAR VALLEY.
THIS IS A PROJECT I THINK NAMED SUN PLAZA.
THIS USED TO BE IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR, USED TO BE SORT OF -- WITH FLAGPOLES AND
[00:40:08]
CIRCULAR PARKING.AND IT IS EVEN MORE OF CONSTRUCTION IS ABOUT 50 PERCENT, BUT IT WILL BE MODERN WITH A BUNCH OF COOL STUFF GOING ON.
I KNOW -- WORK TO GET THIS OFF THE GROUND FOR A LONG TIME.
NOW WE ARE DOING IT AND WE ARE HALFWAY THERE.
OTHER PROJECTS, THIS PICTURE IS OUR TEAM AT MOUNTAIN VIEW.
IT WAS JUST DELIVERED THAT DAY.
AND INTERESTINGLY, THEY HAVE A SEWAGE LEAK THAT DAY SO THEY ACTUALLY USED IT THAT DAY.
>> WHAT WERE THE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT BE USED FOR ON AN ONGOING BASIS? WE DON'T HAVE A SEWAGE LEAK EVERY DAY.
BUT HERE IS WHERE WE ARE GOING.
YOU CAN SEE THE GROUND EQUIPMENT -- THESE ARE NOT ASSETS THINGS LIKE THIS.
YOU KNOW.[INAUDIBLE] THERE IS LIKELY THIS THING BEING USED AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH, IF NOT MORE AT THE COLLEGE.
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT THAT WAY, YOU NEED ONE OF THESE FOR THE COLLEGE.
IT COULD USE -- THEY ASKED ME ABOUT THIS SO THINKING ABOUT IT FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE, THESE THINGS MAKE SENSE.
>> SOUNDS LIKE YOU ALL.[INAUDIBLE] >> WE ARE.
>> STILL HAVE TO GET IT THROUGH ME.
>> YOU CAN SEE THE GENTLEMAN, THE TEAM MEMBER, NOT ONLY ARE WE MORE CAPABLE AND YOU CAN SEE THE MOREL.
SHOWING PEOPLE THAT WE CARE ABOUT WHAT THEY DO AND EQUIPPING THEM TO DO THE JOB WE ARE ASKING THEM TO DO.
IT IS NOT KIND OF MAKE DO WITH WHAT YOU HAVE AND WE ARE GIVING THEM WHAT THEY NEED.
>> AND RENTAL RATES ON THESE THINGS ARE NOT CHEAP.
ONE, YOU HAVE AVAILABILITY AND TYPICALLY, IT IS EXPENSIVE, THEY ARE NOT CHEAP.
WE ARE REPLACING LIGHTS IN THE PARKING LOT TO EVERYPLACE ELSE, WE NOW HAVE A COLLEGE WIDE USE, THEY CAN UTILIZE THE ASSETS ON A REGULAR BASIS AND GIVE MONEY TOWARD THAT.
AND SO THERE ARE SOME REAL ADVANTAGES BUT HE'S NOT GETTING ALL THE TOYS HE WANTS HE IS BEEN TURNED DOWN.
BUT AT LEAST HE'S ASKING, IS ALWAYS A CASE.
>> SO WE HAVE IN THE CONSOLIDATED TEAMS, WE TALK ABOUT CONSOLIDATED TEAMS. WHERE A TEAM THAT HAS THE BIGGER COMMERCIAL MOWERS THAT LOAD ALL THIS UP AND GO AROUND TO ALL THE CENTERS.
THINGS LIKE THE ADMINISTRATOR OFFICE, A LOT OF THAT WAS CONTRACTED AND OR DONE BY LIKE -- NOW THIS TEAM GOES AROUND THEY DO THIS IN HOUSE.
THEY HAVE -- >> YOU DON'T HAVE ACCRUED EVERY CAMPUS.
AND TO ANSWER QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY, THEY HAVE A 20 FOOT TRAILER AND THIS KIND OF STUFF TO TRANSFER AROUND, SOMEONE PUTS IN -- IT COULD BE JUST YOU KNOW, DEMOLITION OF SOMETHING OR PUT IN A WORK ORDER AND THE TEAM WILL TRANSPORT IT AROUND BASED ON THE EQUIPMENT.
>> YOU WERE ABLE TO BUY A TRAILER TOO?
[00:45:02]
>> WE WILL TRY TO MAKE THE LIST OF FACILITY PROJECT LIST SHORTER AND GO TO MORE DASHBOARD TYPE THINGS OR SUSTAINABILITY REPORTS AND OTHERS IN THE FUTURE.
>> REALLY WANTED YOU TO KNOW ALL THE STUFF THAT'S BEEN DONE BECAUSE QUITE FRANKLY, IF YOU GO TO CAMPUS YOU DON'T SEE THE STUFF HERE.
AND THIS IS CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HAS NOT BEEN TAKING CARE OF OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS THAT WE ARE NOT DOING.
AND QUITE FRANKLY, IT'S HARD TO COME UP WITH THAT NUMBER.
BASICALLY ALMOST EVERY PROJECT HE DOES HAS A SUSTAINABILITY EFFECT OF SOME TYPE.
WHEN HE FIRST TOLD ME ABOUT THE ARTIFICIAL TURF, POINT OUT THE CASE STUDIES.
-- SOMETHING NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART IS WATER CONSERVATION.
>> TO THE POINT WHEN YOU HAVE THE CHILLER REPLACEMENT.
EVERY SINGLE PROJECT WE DO, WE DO IT THE MOST EFFICIENT AND MOST RESPONSIBLE MANNER WE CAN.
I JUST NEED TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE.
>> WHEN YOU TAKE OUT CHILLER OR THESE PANELS, DO WE GET ANY BENEFITS AS FAR AS, BESIDES ENERGY CONSERVATION FOR A TAX BENEFIT? AND ALSO, WHAT ABOUT DISPOSING THE OLD?? WE SEE THAT BACK ON THE PROPOSAL.
YOU KNOW THIS CHILLER IS VERY -- [INAUDIBLE] THERE ARE SOME CORE THINGS ON PROPOSAL.
IT SHOWS, THERE ARE DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF CHILLER, THERE MAY BE SOME TAX BENEFITS AND TAKE ADVANTAGE WHERE WE CAN.
>> AS YOUR COMPLETING PROJECTS UNDER THE IMPROVEMENT PLAN.
HOW MANY MORE ARE YOU ADDING? BECAUSE JOHN PREVIOUSLY, HE TALKED ABOUT HOW MANY AND.[INAUDIBLE] TO BE ABLE TO DO MORE PROJECTS.
AS YOU COMPLETE LIKE A FISCAL YEAR 21, THEN HOW MANY, FOR 23? OR DO YOU ALREADY HAVE -- YOUR CERTAINLY WORKING ON 22.
>> THAT IS THE POINT I KIND OF TALKED ABOUT WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT THAT INDEX THAT IS NUMERATOR.
I WANT TO BE CLEAR THERE'S NO FINISH LINE, IT NEVER GETS TO ZERO.
WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WHEN YOU KNOW THE NUMBER, IF WE FEEL LIKE IT IS TOO HIGH, THE TOTALITY OF MAINTENANCE AND NEEDS TO BE DONE, THEN WE CAN WORK, WE DON'T WANT TO BE OVER CERTAIN AMOUNT.
SO THEN WE WORK BUT I DO HAVE YOU KNOW FOR 23.
BUT I WOULD SAY WE'VE BEEN DOING ROUGHLY ABOUT 30 OR 40 PROJECTS PER YEAR, I DON'T SEE THAT CHANGING.
>> SO IS A CONSTRUCTION MANAGER ON THERE? BECAUSE THEY WORK TOGETHER APPLYING THE INDEX IN THE FACILITIES WHERE THE CHILLERS ETC. ON THE CAMPUSES.
BECAUSE IT NUMERATOR TO BE SOMETHING THE FACILITY MANAGERS DO REPLACING A PUMP.
-- [INAUDIBLE] SOMETHING MORE STRAIGHTFORWARD BECAUSE THEY DO ALL OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE.
PLACING AN ENTIRE CHILLER FOR EXAMPLE OR A ROOF IS PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER.
THEY WORK VERY MUCH TOGETHER BUT ALMOST EVERYTHING THEY DO WORKS TO REDUCE THE NUMERATOR.
>> SO IT IS AN ONGOING PROCESS TO MAKE SURE.
>> WE HAVE MANY LATE-NIGHT CONVERSATIONS.
TYPICALLY, YOU DON'T FIND THAT VERY CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AND FACILITY MANAGER.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE I WANT TO REPAIR THIS, THAT IS THE FACILITY MANAGER.
BUT THE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER IS THINKING ABOUT, HOW DO I SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOREVER? AND REALLY THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT MINDSETS WHEN YOU ARE HIRING PEOPLE.
YOU DO NOT NECESSARILY FIND THAT AND IT IS RARE TO FIND IN THE SAME PERSON.
[00:50:02]
NOW THIS IS BEING USED WITH YOUR POSITION BUT IS PART OF WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO LOOK AT.WHO HAS THE SKILL SET TO DO EACH ONE OF THOSE.
>> AND WHEN DID YOU BRING ON THE POSITIONS?
BECAUSE WE DIDN'T USED TO HAVE THEM -- >> WE UTILIZED INTERNAL PEOPLE, WE LOOK FOR SKILL SETS AND TALENTS.
>> IT WAS, THERE IS ONE CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AND SHE IS AT MOUNTAIN VIEW, WHO IS NOT PART OF THE ORGANIZATION BEFORE.
SO WE EXHAUSTED OUR TALENT AND WE HIRED -- AS FAR AS CONSTRUCTION MANAGERS, --
[INAUDIBLE] >> ALSO DID A GOOD JOB OF TAKING SOME OF THE FACILITIES --
[INAUDIBLE] >> THIS WAS CENTRAL TO INFRASTRUCTURE AND MAJOR EQUIPMENT FOR CAPITOL PROJECTS.
I WILL SHOW YOU, AESTHETICS -- THERE IS A LOT OF PAINTING AND POWER WASHING AND A LOT OF TREE TRIMMING, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NOW THAT WE'VE TRIMMED ALL THE TREES ON CAMPUS.
FLOWERS ETC. FIND THE BALANCE BETWEEN THEY MUST BE VERY IMPORTANT INFRASTRUCTURE BUT ALSO AESTHETICS AS WELL.
>> WHILE SAVING WATER AT THE SAME TIME.
>> AND YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION, WHAT WE'VE TRIED TO DO, THERE ARE A FEW DIFFERENT BUCKETS HE'S AIMING -- HE'S ABLE TO PULL FROM THEM.
>>.[INAUDIBLE] [LAUGHTER] >> AND SO HE IS THE OPERATING BUDGET USED FOR GENERAL AESTHETICS AND OPERATING BUT THEN WE DID SET ASIDE FUNDS FROM FIP AND THAT'S MONEY DEDICATED.
WE ALSO TALKED VERY CLOSELY ABOUT WHAT THE CAPACITY IS BECAUSE WHETHER IT'S 25 MILLION OR 50 MINUS WITH THE CAPACITIES TO GET THE PROJECT DONE.
SO WE DO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.
THIS PAST YEAR THEY WERE TEXT NOTES HE HAD ACCESS TO THEIR WERE ABLE TO DO THESE LARGE PROJECTS ADDING SOME OF THE OTHERS.
WHICH BY THE WAY, WE'VE PAID OFF -- [INAUDIBLE] >> ISSUED WHEN?
>> VERY GOOD INTEREST RATES, THAT WAS THE WHOLE PLAN.
>> ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? IF NOT, THE FINANCE COMMITTEE WILL ADJOURN.
3:15 PM.
