identity as a world leader in its commitment to sustainability and being a green university; as well as addressing societal needs of a climate emergency. Provost Lejuez added that there is an academic component in partnership on the program. The committee discussed additional objectives including behavioral modifications for the university population.

Trustee Gandara indicated that the committee will continue to work on environmental

goal setting such as including environmental issues in building/renovation proposals that come before the Board. She recommended establishment of a subcommittee of BGE to review the Working Group’s report and subsequent environmental actions of the Committee. Trustee Gouin offered to serve on a subcommittee. Dr. Seth offered the assistance of the members of the Working Group to the subcommittee. It was also recommended that after subcommittee review, the report should be presented to the Board of Trustees.

Trustee Gandara introduced Frank LaRosa, Associate Vice President and Chief Audit

Executive, who will serve in the role previously held by Jim Bradley, Director of Construction Assurance, who recently stepped down from the position. Mr. LaRosa will be focusing on the legislative requirements related to formal project closeout and ensuring all legislative requirements are met. Mr. LaRosa detailed his new responsibilities and the first department report to the Committee is anticipated in September 2021.

Laura Cruickshank, Associate Vice President for University Planning, Design and

Construction, detailed agenda Item #5, Project Update ~ Storrs Based Programs. The update included a review of projects going to the Board for approval on April 28 including the UConn Hockey Arena project; I-lot parking lot improvements; and the Hicks and Grange student and common room renovations. Projects for Atwater emergency power and the Werth Family Basketball Center were reviewed by Michael Jednak, Associate Vice President for Facilities Operations.

Ms. Cruickshank and David Benedict, Athletic Director, reviewed a project for the Field

House women’s locker room. The project will encompass use by women’s track and field, tennis, golf and field hockey teams. Review of the building infrastructure due to age, etc. is important to understanding the feasibility and timing of the project. UPDC and Athletics are in discussions on project feasibility and planning in association with the needs of the Athletic department and will bring an update and plan to the Committee at the next meeting as well as provide an update to the Vice Chair within the next few weeks.

Ms. Cruickshank presented a Market Conditions Report that recapped of conditions in the

fourth quarter of 2020. The report detailed the effect the COVID-19 pandemic has had on construction supply, demand, labor, and product pricing. Vice Chair Gandara asked Ms. Cruickshank to make a brief presentation of this report to the Board of Trustees on April 28, 2021.

Vice Chair Gandara informed the Committee that in response to developers seeking

access to University sewer rights, a response has been sent, and a copy is available in the Committee meeting materials, indicating that the University will not be providing access to those rights at this time.

Mr. Jednak reminded that Committee of a 2010 Board policy which states that work done for the benefit of, or at the request of the University President must be approved by the BGE Committee. Roof replacement and garage door replacement are needed due to deterioration on the University property at 88 Gurleyville Road, Storrs, currently occupied by the President. At the time the University purchased the property it was with the knowledge that this work would need to be performed. The work is estimated at approximately $47,500. The work was not initiated by the President but has been planned and initiated by Facilities Operations since the property was purchased. The property is part of the rental housing portfolio and repairs are funded by rental housing income. This planned repair to a University property does not require BGE approval.

Greg Daniels briefed the Committee on agenda Item #10, Capital Projects and Facilities Procurement (CPFP) Organizational Activities and Organizational Improvements. Mr. Jordan added that the National Association of Educational Procurement has awarded Veronica Cook, Executive Program Director for University Business Services the Eddie H. Jackson Supplier Diversity Award which recognizes institutions or individuals who have made outstanding contributions to supplier diversity and inclusion initiatives on their campuses and in higher education procurement. The Committee congratulated Greg, Veronica and their team.

Thomas Trutter, UConn Health, Associate Vice President for Campus Planning, Design and Construction, briefed the Committee on agenda Item #11, UConn Health Updates, Facilities Development and Operations. Mr. Trutter provided a COVID-19 update; briefed the committee on small projects underway at UConn Health; the Dermatology Psoriasis Center project is complete and opened on March 8; the L3 project is anticipated to be complete in late April and remains on budget; and the bids for the Musculoskeletal Institute Building (MSI) Roof Top Unit Replacement project came in higher than anticipated but within the 5% allotment of Scott Jordan’s approval so the project can continue and will be returning to the Board for approval in May or June.

The meeting was adjourned at 11:56 a.m. on a motion by Trustee Dennis-LaVigne and seconded by Trustee Gouin.

Respectfully submitted, Debbie L. Carone

1. AMAS is working with Budget and Planning to finalize the list of statutory named

projects that were closed from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2020. This list will be used to prepare the biennial summary of construction performance of UConn 2000 required under General Statutes Section 10a-109bb for the periods July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018 and July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2020.

2. Procedures have been developed that will be performed on UConn 2000 projects that

were open as of July 1, 2020. In the report for the quarter ending April 2021, the procedures were to be performed on new projects that began after January 1, 2021. The date was changed to July 1, 2020 to coincide with the start date for the summary report to be completed for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022 required under General Statutes Section 10a-109bb.

June 30, 2021 TO: Members of the Board of Trustees FROM: Scott A. Jordan Executive Vice President for Administration and Chief Financial Officer SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2022 Capital Budget RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Trustees approve a capital budget of $303,560,000, as detailed in Attachment A, for Fiscal Year 2022 which is comprised of $55,960,000 of University, Gift and State bond funds and $247,600,000 of UCONN 2000 State bond funds. The Administration recommends that the Board of Trustees adopt the Resolution below. RESOLUTION: “Be it resolved that the Board of Trustees approve the Fiscal Year 2022 capital budget of $303,560,000 for the University of Connecticut, Storrs and Regional Campuses.” BACKGROUND: To manage all capital fund sources in a strategic and transparent manner, UConn is proposing an all funds capital budget for approval. Note that UConn Health includes capital project funds outside of the UCONN 2000 program in their annual Operating Budget Spending Plan proposal. The proposed capital budget for FY22 of $303,560,000 includes $55,960,000 of University, Gift and State bond funds and $247,600,000 of UCONN 2000 State bond funds. The two attached documents reflect the capital budget spending plan detail:

• Attachment A - the proposed FY22 capital budget spending plan • Attachment B - the UCONN 2000 Phase III State Bond Phasing Plan by Statutory Named

Line The FY22 capital budget does not provide approval for specific projects, per our capital policies and procedures; all capital projects, no matter the fund source, costing $500,000 or more are submitted for Board action on a project-by-project basis. Projects costing less than $500,000 are approved by the internal capital governance committees.

Program & Planning Adjustments: The University has benefitted tremendously from the UCONN 2000 Infrastructure Improvement Program established by the General Assembly in 1995. We are now in the third phase of this 32‐year program, which is designed to modernize, rehabilitate, and dramatically expand the physical plant of the University. This phase, which extends through FY27, includes the NextGenCT and the Bioscience Connecticut initiatives. The Bioscience initiative at UConn Health, completed in 2018 and the NextGenCT program at Storrs and the Regional Campuses is moving along aggressively. We are about to begin year 8 of the 13-year NextGenCT program. Numerous projects are currently in construction with required funding to be allotted in FY22 through FY27. Most importantly, construction is currently underway on the STEM Research Center Science 1 building, which is a keystone in the effort to fulfill the mandates of NextGenCT and will provide critical new research facilities for the existing and new STEM faculty. We are appreciative of the State’s support of this capital initiative and the recognition that planned levels of capital funding remain intact to support these projects to avoid additional costs associated with delaying or shutting down projects in construction. At the request of UConn Health, the Governor and the General Assembly adjusted the UCONN 2000 capital program authorizations for FY22 and FY23 by $80.1M to cover critical deferred maintenance, equipment and limited renovations and improvements at the Health Center. It is imperative that UConn Health maintain and reinvest in the assets of the State to avoid additional costs over the long term. The table below reflects the revised UCONN 2000 State bond authorizations (in millions):

Bonding Schedule ($M)

While it is critical to have a long-term capital plan with a stable funding source, it is important to recognize that the plan is a live document which is continuously under review by senior management. This approach allows the University the flexibility to be responsive to changing project needs as well as external market factors/drivers.

Indenture Amendments: The law specifically gives the Board of Trustees the authority to revise project budgets and related indentures. It would be virtually impossible to manage a thirty-two-year capital program without the authority to make such adjustments. These revisions are complex because 1) there are many projects, 2) UConn must operate within statutory annual bond caps, 3) tax-related expenditure requirements must be observed, and 4) the adjustments to numerous lines generally involve projects that span a number of years. While revisions may affect current projects, given the annual bond caps, they also have a rollout effect over the next decade. The Board of Trustees has the authority to amend past indentures to reflect changes as project budgets are finalized or other events affect the capital budget for a given prior fiscal year. Currently, the University is not proposing revisions to any Supplemental Indentures. Other Funds: University, Gifts, State bonds Since there are insufficient UCONN 2000 State bonds to fund all capital projects, UConn utilizes other fund sources for high priority capital and maintenance initiatives. These requests are reviewed and approved in the same way as State bond funded projects. In addition, the University may choose to utilize cash balances to temporarily fund capital projects in advance of the issuance of new UConn Revenue bonds, gifts or to bridge cash flow for State bond funded projects. The FY22 capital budget includes $55,960,000 of funds for facilities repairs & improvements, programmatic renovations, faculty innovators program and the new hockey arena. The faculty innovators program is an initiative recently approved by the Governor and General Assembly. The program costs are phased over six years and split between new State bonds and University funds. The University will focus on hiring 10 faculty with demonstrated excellence in their research field and an interest in collaborating on research that meets societal needs or commercializing discoveries, innovations, or technologies. The funding will also support related construction, renovation and equipment required to encourage and facilitate creation of new business ventures in the State that fuel economic growth and provide resources to expand the University’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Instability in economy is contributing to workforce, supply chain and funding uncertainty

COVID has created capital program risks and challenges that could result in project delays• Potential for workforce limitations, interruptions or unavailability – job

site safety is highest priority• Unknown impact to supply chain for select materials – timing and cost• Future State funding is not guaranteed

Project delays result in increased costs and reduced project scopes; current construction cost annual escalation estimated @ 0.5% per month or 6% per year

Tab 5Bergin Property on Route 44

Request by OPM: ° OPM has requested the transfer and custody for return of

the Bergin Correctional Institute +/- 35 acres, for potential use as the site for a new Technical High School

° OPM may ask for additional UConn land to construct recreation fields for the High School

Background: ° The +/- 35-acre Bergin property and building assets were

declared surplus in 2015 and transferred by OPM to UConn° The transfer letters from OPM document the UConn

commitment to discussing the possibilities of locating a Technical High School on UConn property

° UConn has no plans to develop the Bergin property which requires substantial improvements to the infrastructure

Considerations: ° Further discussion and investigation are in process° New infrastructure for a high school may provide an

opportunity for regional utility capacity upgrades for the Depot Campus

° OPM may be able to assist with gaining approval to demolish additional existing buildings on Depot Campus

Proposed CAV Land at Depot Campus

• The currently proposed ground lease areais approximately 75 acres and includesthe orange and blue area on the adjacentmap, plus a portion of the green area thatis currently not occupied

• A portion of the orange area is forestedand the balance is athletic fields andfarmland. A portion of the blue area iswetlands, and the balance is forested. Inthe green unused area, the buildings intheir current state are likely valuable as a“city” area for vehicle testing, but theremay be environmental conditionsencountered if developed

• Any land development would require aCEPA review and approval

University Planning Design & Construction

PROPOSED BY SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING:

BEGIN PLANNING NOW

Phase 1: Use of existing infrastructure on Depot campus with minimal updates. Red circles with black X’s are where roadblocks or gates would be installed to keep public traffic out of the facility. The new road (in orange) would be constructed to allow access to the public surplus store, machine shop, and plant research facility along Ahern Road. The new roads (in blue) will be added inside of the Ahern Road loop to increase the linear feet of roadways for testing.


Tab 6, p2

Page 44 of 92



BEGIN PLANNING NOW

Phase 2: Construction of the Urban Environment. The 30 acre area to the west of Ahern Road currently consists of a section of woods, farmland and athletic fields. Phase 2 design would build-out this area using an urban-based design. The buildings in the image below would not be constructed but are for visual reference only and represent facades to mimic an urban roadway environment. Traffic signals, stop signs, and modern smart city technologies would be added to the facility to build a representative smart and connected city of the future. Phase 2 would commence at the same time as Phase 1 but would open later due to a longer design and construction schedule.


Tab 6, p3Page 45 of 92



DEFER PLANNING TO LATER

Phase 3: Construction for the Rural and Interstate Environment. This phase of the project would commence after Phase 2 and would build out the high speed and rural sections of the test track. This part of the facility will be located south of Ahern Road and include new roadways (in both white and grey).

SUMMARYApproximately 35 acres of development in Phase 1 and 2. 40 acres of proposed development in Phase 3, but wetlands and deforestation needs to be reviewed

Final: $2,000,000 RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Trustees approve the Final Budget of $2,000,000 as detailed in the attached project budget, for North and South Garages Restoration, Phase 1 & 2, for Construction. The Administration recommends that the Board of Trustees adopt the Resolution below. RESOLUTION: “Be it resolved that the Board of Trustees approve the use of $2,000,000 in University funds for North and South Garages Restoration, Phase 1 & 2 project; and approve the request for a waiver of the three-stage budget approval process to allow construction to proceed after bids have been received and evaluated for conformance with the project scope and budget.” BACKGROUND: The University of Connecticut owns two precast concrete parking garages at the Storrs Campus. The North Garage, located adjacent to the Jorgensen Center for Performing Arts, is a five-level structure constructed in 1997. The South Garage, located adjacent to the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion, is a six-level structure constructed in 2000. The University commissioned a condition assessment and structural evaluation for each structure, which concluded that, while the structures are both in good condition, certain repairs were recommended. The University intends to utilize a phased approach to completing the repairs. This project is in the second phase of the repairs. It will focus primarily on one level of each of the two garages at the Storrs Campus.

RE: Project Budget for Werth Family UConn Basketball Champions Center Dining Final: $1,268,000

RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Trustees approve the Final Budget of $1,268,000 as detailed in the attached project budget, for Werth Family UConn Basketball Champions Center Dining for Construction. The Administration recommends that the Board of Trustees adopt the Resolution below. RESOLUTION: “Be it resolved that the Board of Trustees approve the use of $1,268,000 in University funds for Werth Family UConn Basketball Champions Center Dining project; and approve the request for a waiver of the three-stage budget approval process to allow construction to proceed after bids have been received and evaluated for conformance with the project scope and budget.” BACKGROUND: The Werth Family Basketball Champions Center opened in the fall of 2014 and is home to both our men’s and women’s Basketball programs. The facility houses all facets of these programs and includes an academic center, strength and conditioning, athletic training, locker rooms, practice courts, offices and dining area. The current food preparation area is not physically or functionally set up to support the food services & regulatory requirements needed. The current dining area is not inviting nor aesthetically pleasing for the student athletes to dine at. This project will create a much-improved dining experience along with the food preparation services and equipment required to support it.

Interior renovations will include an update to the existing pantry and dining areas, rooms 227 & 228 at the Werth Family UConn Basketball Champions Center Building. This initiative will be managed by Academic Renovations in Facilities Operations. Construction will begin in Fall 2021 with completion expected by February 2022. While most of the project will initially be funded through University funds; Athletics will replenish these funds through philanthropy. The Final Budget is based on the consultant’s preliminary opinion of construction cost during Design. The Final Budget is attached for your information. Attachment

Chief Executive Officer, UConn Health Scott A. Jordan

Executive Vice President for Administration and Chief Financial Officer RE: Project Budget for the UConn Health Musculoskeletal Institute Building (MSI)

Roof Top Unit Replacement (Revised Final: $1,762,500) RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of Trustees note a report of the Revised Final Budget in the amount of $1,762,500 as detailed in the attached project budget for the UConn Health Musculoskeletal Institute Building (MSI) Roof Top Unit Replacement Project. RESOLUTION: “Be it resolved that the Board of Trustees note the approval of the use of $1,762,500 of UConn Health Capital Funds for the UConn Health Musculoskeletal Institute Building (MSI) Roof Top Unit Replacement Project with the subsequent incentive payment, not to exceed $839,500, from Eversource of 50% of the project’s final costs.” BACKGROUND: In October 2020, UConn Health (UCH) was notified of a competitive incentive program from Eversource to replace old/end of life, energy inefficient, roof top units (RTUs) with new energy efficient models. Eversource customers were invited to submit proposals that would be evaluated based upon anticipated energy efficiency improvements, energy savings, and proposed percentage of funding requested. On December 5, 2020, UCH submitted a proposal to replace the 3 RTUs serving the MSI building. UCH was notified by Eversource on February 2, 2021, that our proposal was accepted and funding will be provided for 50% of the actual cost associated with the work, contingent upon the project being completed by July 18, 2021.

Page 84 of 92

In order to meet the Eversource imposed completion deadline, UCH pre-purchased the roof top units (RTUs) directly from the vendor and utilize an expedited design/bid process for the installation of the RTUs. The Board approved a waiver for both the Planning and Design Budget to allow the project to proceed as quickly as possible. A Final Budget was approved by the Board on March 15, 2021. The current estimated cost to complete the project exceeded the approved budget by $83,500. The projected overage is attributed to a low bid award for the RTU installation exceeding the originally budgeted amount. On April 06, 2021, the Executive Vice President for Administration and Chief Financial Officer approved an increase of $83,500 (4.9% of the previous approved Final Budget) for a new approved Revised Final Budget of $1,762,500. Board of Trustees policy permits the Executive Vice President for Administration and Chief Financial Officer to approve changes up to 5% of the project budget, providing that funding is available, and the BOT is subsequently notified of the revised project budget, which is the subject of this resolution. The approved Revised Final Budget is attached for your information. The approved Revised Final Budget was presented to the UConn Health Board of Directors at their meeting on June 14, 2021.
