  B. COO Report on Construction
  C. Campus Planning--Update on Parking Focus
   

The Committee had requested to examine different options for the parking construction, asphalt and pavers.

 

Bulley feels a $5,000 cost of excavation is likely, and a $5,000 cost for Contingency.  The cost of removal of the two non-oak trees would be separate, and still have to be determined - my guess would be in the area of $5,000 - $8,000 for full removal of two trees, but that might be a bit "heavy" in assumed cost.

 

Bulley has gotten multiple proposals and they say the total cost including excavation and contingency, but not tree removal would be:

 

Asphalt:  $26,400.

Pavers:  $55,400.

 

Pavers would be Unilock 5x10 Eco-Priora permeable concrete pavers, herribone pattern with soldier course border, Standard finish, River with Sierra color.

 

Void filler would be Indiana Chip void filler aggregate.  Contractor would provide aluminum edge restraints adjacent to landscape.
