Call To Order
Chair Hurley read the ethics statement; no conflicts of interest were reported. Ms. Rice called roll. A quorum was present.
Resolutions/Action Items
A. Upon a motion by Mr. Alexander, seconded by Mr. Brumit, the Board unanimously approved the Construction Manager at Risk (CMR).
The Committee selected will be comprised of county people and Mr. Bace recommended three firms in priority order. The county will negotiate with the top firm. This will be a county/College partnership. Chris Campbell advised that the advantage of using a CMR is that they negotiate for a set capped price.
B. Upon a motion by Mr. Spells, seconded by Mr. Hart, the Board unanimously approved the 2012-2013 Annual Open-Ended Service Agreements for Design and Engineering Services.
Firms within each category were listed in priority order. This is a one-year agreement with no cost until the College utilizes its services. The College will use its services if needed, with a cap of $300,000 per category.
