    June 13, 2006
  • Contract with SunGard SCT

  • Measure E Master Budget
  • New Kitchell Project Assignment Amendments (PAAs) and Revisions to Current PAAs
  • New BFGC Architect Planners, Inc. (BFGC) Project Assignment Amendments (PAAs and Revisions to Current PAAs)

Joe reported that there is a deficit of approximately $8.6 million. Each project budget was developed by determining hard costs numbers based on a conceptual scope of work to be completed. Items that were identified as "must dos" included code requirements and specific items promised in the bond language. Escalation (inflation) was factored in at 5.5% per year for each project depending on when the project was scheduled to start construction. The total project costs, including projected interest income, results in a deficit of $8.6 million. Several factors may influence the budget and reduce the deficit: projects may come in under bid, state funding for the modernization of the PE and Library buildings is possible, emergency state funding is being pursued for the water tank replacement, the College can forego repair of water tank and continue to pay for water through agreement with the City of Gilroy, interest income may come in higher than projected, rate of inflation may be lower than estimated.
