Jerry Vesseilo asked about partitions for the open spaces. Randy Curtis said he is working with the architect to ensure the building will accommodate the existing modular fumishings. There is no pian to purchase new fumishings. Parkinq Spaces Carl Beach as%ed why aitemative #1 is favored over altemative #2. Billy Wasson said aitemate #2 is not feasible at this time because of the number of unknown features. The concrete columns are weighted based on the number of floors of the building. and right now the type of above ground stn.~cture for the north site development is unknown. Carl Beach asked at wha# point will altemative #2 no longer be considered. Billy Wasson said ~ can be done now but it would require a lot of assumptions o~; the part of the architect. Leonard Lodder said altemative #2 can be built now with knock out panets for pre-deteRnined items like elevators, stairs, heating. It requires a lot of assumptions. R.G. Andersen-Wyckoff noted there is a significant public risk to develop altemative #2 with all of the unknown variables, He believes it is not in the public interest to pursue aitemaativve #2. but it is a policy decision. Craig Lewis reminded the Committee the design development documents and cost estimates are a snap shot of the project. There will be unknown thi~gs that will come up and cost money and he does not feel there is excess money for extras and the current contingency is prudent. Jerry Vessello said if altemative #2 is not considered then he would like to review things that have a recognized pay back. An all gas building has an eleven year pay back and the same control can be gained on each floor with thermal units. Jerry Vessello noted if a change like the HVAC system is not done now it wiN impact the occupants for the life of the building. Billy Wasson said staff will prepare a comparative analysis befinreen altemative #1 and #2 then bring it to the CAC for review. 4. Recommendation to Boards [Actionj Room for Growth Maynard Hammer said he wants to be sure there is room for growth on each floor. Leonard Lodder noted the design allows room #or compaction and growth on each floor and there is room on the fifth floor. R.G. Andersen-Wyckoff noted the Transit District has estimated their growth space for fifteen to twenty years. Underground Ptu4s Maynard Hammer said he wants to make sure there are underground plugs in case the water rises. Transit Mall Gatinq - Minutes of August 24, 1998 CAC Meeting Page 6 of 8 14
