DESIGN

Construction Documents are near completion. A series of meetings have taken place with departments to confirm design intents such as technology infrastructure and casework layout for classrooms, administration areas, athletic and PE areas, and performing arts areas. The design team is finalizing a list of alternate bids to present to the District for approval and incorporation into the bid documents. A meeting with Dan Dawkins will be scheduled to review the specifications to assure that the materials specified meet the quality standards of the District. Meetings with Rainier Connect have occurred to finalize upgrades to the telephone systems.

Permit submittal is in to the Town of Eatonville for the Temporary Housing of EHS at the EMS portables.

SECTION 2 – CRITICAL ISSUES

Critical issues are defined as issues that have had or may likely have an impact on project cost, schedule or quality.  The following is a list of issues considered critical as of June 21, 2007:

1.    Conditional Use Permits and SEPA Comments by Town of Eatonville Planner Nick Bond.

UPDATE: A series of meetings and discussions have taken place to resolve issues regarding mitigation requirements pertaining to the high school conditional use permit. The Planning Commission and District have agreed to the terms of a “Developer Agreement” that will go to the Town Council and School District Board of Directors for consideration of approval in the next couple of weeks. Below is a brief summary of the terms of the agreement:

1.    The new construction on the High School Site shall be no higher than the tallest existing structure on the High School Site.

2.    The maximum site coverage of the High School Project on the High Site shall not exceed 50 percent.

3.    The District shall contribute the sum of Two Thousand Five Hundred No/100 Dollars ($2,500) for mitigation of traffic impacts at the intersection of Washington and Center Street. The monies shall be held in reserve in the District’s Capital Projects account and shall be dispersed
to the Town upon the occurrence of the following three events:

i.    Issuance of a traffic signal permit by WSDOT.
ii.   Approval of engineering plans for design of the signal by WSDOT.
iii.  Mutual execution of a Developer’s Agreement between WSDOT and the Town.

4.    The District will remove 9 of the 12 portables at EMS for housing of the interim high school and will replace three aged existing portables with 3 purchased portables (electrical connection for the portables at their permanent location shall be in underground conduit in compliance with the Town’s Municipal Code). The District shall restore the site where the temporary portables were located.

5.    The District shall install portable restroom facilities if the currently planned restrooms do not meet the student demand for restrooms.

6.    The District shall tender the sum of Twelve Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($12,000) for the upgrade of the Town’s sewer lift station. The Town agrees to have sufficient lift station capacity no later than the first day of the 2007-2008 school year.

7.    The District agrees to configure the LeMay parking Lot in order to obtain 81 stalls for high school students and provide striping, gravel, wheel stops and flow-guard filters to existing catch basins. The District further agrees to maintain the lot in good condition, pick up any trash and empty trash receptacles weekly. The District will provide crossing guards during arrival and dismissal times at the intersection of Washington and Carter.

8.    The District shall seek to obtain a Conditional Use Permit for the six (6) parcels adjacent to the high school (south of Lynch) by the time of final completion of the High School Project. The Town shall not withhold final occupancy permit for the High School Project arising from or related
to the terms of the agreement.
