Motion to accept the January twenty-ninth, twenty twenty-six minutes.

Second?

Second.

Any objections?

Any abstentions.

Hearing none, that item is approved.

Report secretary.

Yes, good morning, everyone.

Good morning.

So some good news to report.

As you may have heard, we have approval from the Office of State Controller in the State Education Department for our phase three comprehensive plan.

The letter from the Comptroller is in your packet.

But we're all we're all set.

And um that allows us to approve.

Oh, thank you.

Yeah, that's uh staff and Turner did a great job on getting all that done pursuing the state agencies.

So I'm glad to hear that.

Thank you.

And uh that allows us today to move on and approve several architect contracts now that we have our approved comprehensive plan and our RFP process for the construction management services is underway.

The RFP is out there, and uh I believe it's been extended by a week, but we're we're moving to collect uh responses and uh when they're in an RFP committee will be set up similar to the architect RFP process.

Do you know what the deadline is?

Oh, I that asked the program.

March, okay.

Thank you.

And uh finally, uh last evening I sent out after some technical difficulties, uh our draft project labor agreement feasibility study.

Uh this is the document that under state law we are required to uh conduct and and approve if we choose to go on and and enter into a PLA.

It it doesn't mean it's the first step in the process.

So this study just ratifies that there's economic savings if we choose to enter into a PLA.

Okay.

So the document is um as with any of these things extensive.

So what I wanted to do is send it out a month ahead of our next March meeting.

Okay.

And if there's any questions, I'd be glad to fill them individually by email.

Or uh uh depending how we feel, we can have this um a meeting in March with our consultant at the March board meeting.

Okay.

Um so after folks look at it, maybe we can do some communication and see how we feel about it.

I'm sorry, that came last night.

Yes.

Okay.

Sorry, it didn't go out earlier.

No, no, probably.

Because of the city firewall, there were technical difficulties transmitting it.

Such a large document, but um in any case, it it is similar to what we did in phase one and phase two.

But um in any case, it it is similar to what we did in phase one and phase two.

Actually, it's the same consultant, so uh there's some consistency there.

Perfect.

But the the program manager and staff has reviewed it as well.

That completes my report.

Do I need a motion to accept your report?

Uh no, I just usually make an oral presentation and then that's it.

Yeah.

Uh report of the program manager.

Morning.

Hello.

Uh as Joe mentioned, we got comprehensive plan approval, which is great.

Uh unfortunately it was about six weeks later than what we had initially anticipated.

Uh we are gonna seek opportunities to advance design, trying to recoup that time because we want to try and get to construction in summer of 27.

And that might delay that a little bit, but when design teams are on board, we're gonna look to gain that time back.

Right.

Um architects, as Joe mentioned, um, hopefully we send out contracts today and get them back, and we have kickoff meetings scheduled them uh starting as early as next week and the following week.
