District Board of Trustees Agenda Item: 2.2March 23, 2004

________________________________________________________________________________

Revised Rule 2.2: College Organization Information Item410.368, 03-04

________________________________________________________________________________

This revision moves the college organizational chart from the rule-making process to theadministrative procedure (Procedure 2.2P: College Organization). The revision also clarifies thatadministrative procedures must be approved by the president after review by Cabinet. Making thechart part of the procedure will facilitate keeping the chart current and eliminate costly legalprocedures.

Discussion: Ms. Patti Locascio, General Counsel, stated this was basically a housekeeping item totransfer the organization chart from the board rule to a college procedure. As it currently stands,every time the president makes a change within the organizational structure, it has to be brought tothe board for a vote. Trustee Bradley asked for clarification on the next to the last sentence of Rule2.2 pertaining to identification of members of the executive committee as the only ones with authoritywhen another rule or procedure referred to a "Cabinet member." Patti Locascio explained themeaning of the sentence and agreed to make revisions to make it clearer to the reader.

Project Report and Action Request: Building G Re-Roofing - Awarding of Bid 412.965, 03-04________________________________________________________________________________

Project Description:

This project consists of the removal of the existing built-up roof and the installation of a new built-uproof on G building.

Architect/engineer Craig Salley & Associates, Gainesville, FloridaConstruction manager/contractor To be determinedUniform building code inspector In-houseProject budget $335,000Source(s) of funds PECO

Project Status:

The board granted permission at its January 20, 2004, meeting to advertise and bid this project. Bidswere opened March 5, 2004, and posted as required on March 15. The outcome of that bid openingis as follows:

Big D Roofing, Inc. $186,314.00Perry Roofing, Inc. $201,000.00Childers Roofing and Sheet Metal, Inc. $202,000.00Poole Roofing & Sheet Metal Co., Inc. $213,900.00McCurdy-Walden, Inc. $261,800.00

Board Action(s) Requested:

Permission to award bid to Big D Roofing, Inc., the apparent low bidder, in theamount of $186,314.00

Discussion: Mr. Bill Reese, Associate Vice President Facilities Services, reviewed item 4.1. TrusteeBradley asked if the college took into consideration the life span of a built-up roof versus metal roofs.Mr. Reese responded that the warranties for metal roofs are misleading in that they are usually forthe finish on the metal and not for the water tightness of the roof. He explained that building G is nota stand-alone building. It adjoins the concourse which also adjoins building B. Putting a standingseam metal roof on part of what is a contiguous roof would be impractical because it addsconsiderable weight to the structure. Trustee Perry reiterated that most of the buildings on campushave flat roofs and would not support the weight of a metal roof and said that there is considerableadditional cost to adding a metal roof.

Board Item 6.1March 23, 2004Page 2

Discussion: Ms. Rochelle Prince, Associate Vice President for Finance, reviewed items 6.1 through6.5 individually. In reference to item 6.4, the president asked Mr. Daryl Johnston, Chief of SFCC PoliceDepartment, to give an update on the six stolen computers from the Liberal Arts Department. ChiefJohnston stated that measures had been taken before the Christmas holidays to identify vulnerableareas on campus. However, police patrols did not detect the missing computers because they werenot easily visible. With the help of Gainesville Police Department, fingerprints were obtained,analyzed, and the decals for the computers have been processed into the national crime computersystem. Chief Johnston and Mr. Tim Nesler, Vice President of Information Technology Services, haveanalyzed the cost of installing security chips in all computers. At this time the cost is prohibitive. Theinvestigation of the theft is on-going.

Regarding item 6.5, Trustee McRae asked who will oversee the renovation of the bookstore. Mr. BillReese responded that the job would be contracted out and he would be overseeing the project.

Trustee Bradley questioned the cost of the purchase of the sixteen lap top computers.

The laptops purchased are part of the computer replacement plan, can bechecked out by faculty and staff for conferences, and are used by community education programsfor community training.

Trustee Bradley also inquired on item 6.2 what the set of five asterisks represent on thespreadsheet. Ms. Prince responded that it represents the total of the original cost of contingenciesand is not singled out as an individual line item on the spreadsheet.
