FACILITIES STEERING COMMITTEE MEETING
DATE: 07 April 2010, 12:30pm-1:30pm
SUBJECT: Gunn HS Facilities Steering Committee
ATTENDEES: See attached sign-in sheet
The following are the highlights of the meeting:
1. Aimee Lopez (AL) gave a recap of the revised project schedule approved by the
BOE. The revisions to the schedule included:
AC modernization/CTE grant
Landscape master plan (includes Quad)
Miranda parking lot project
2. Aimee Lopez (AL) indicated that Group 2 Projects per the Proposed Master Plan
shall follow the same process as Group 1, initial review with Staff and Students.
3. Erwin Lee (EL) gave an overview presentation of the Landscape Master Plan. The
presentation recapped the process that arrived at the current scheme (which
includes Group 2 Projects as well). The Landscape Subcommittee will meet on
April 20, 2010 with BOE informational update slated for April 27, 2010.
4. Aimee Lopez (AL) gave a status report on the CEQA process. Meetings with
community members to address concerns have occurred. From those meetings,
the most pressing concern was traffic. The CEQA response addresses traffic
mitigation by reducing the trip counts during the high peak hour. An example of the
criteria used to determine the increase in users was provided (24 trips = ~51
students). Possible mitigation may include alternate class scheduling, VTA passes,
added bike racks and the Miranda Drop-off. BOE review of CEQA report shall
occur at their April 27, 2010 meeting.
5. Alex Morrison (AM), with Gilbane Building Company, gave a recap of the upcoming
summer relocatable project. The project has been awarded to Rodan Builders
(which has been awarded the Palo Alto HS relocatable project also). Other
items/activities related to the relocatable project:
Schedule for Relo Project:
o Bids due for moving project: 20 April 2010
o Move occurs: 12 June 2010 (Staff will not be able to access their
rooms during the building relocation)
Concern was raised about items misplaced/missing during the previous move
(science building). It was suggested that the teacher’s name be written on each
moving box. AM indicated he would be able to provide that information on the
bidding documents for the moving company.
