2. Resolution of the City University Construction Fund Authorizing the Upgrade to the Lehman College Campus-Wide Commend Emergency Telephone System (No. 2283).

Acting Chairman Berry read the resolution and called upon Deputy Executive Director John Antonelli for an explanation . Mr. Antonelli reported that the emergency system at Lehman College has outlived its useful life and is no longer supported by the manufacturer. After researching the options, a proposal was received from Siemens to provide all the functionality with a state-of-the art system at a cost of $743,000. The system includes 37 call boxes throughout the campus, 22 of which are exterior and 15 are interior. The system will operate in an emergency and functions despite power outages or bad weather. An existing State Office of General Services Contract will be utilized.

Acting Chairman Berry asked if this system is being used anywhere else within the university. Mr. Lemieux responded that most campuses have some kind of system. College of Staten Island has a similar system provided by Johnson Controls. Mr. Ordonez called everyone's attention to a photo and map of the campus. It is run on low­voltage electricity, and has emergency backup.

If approved, the installation will begin in the spring, and will require about 6 to 7 months to install. Campus Security will post notifications of about the new system on campus. They will use some of the units that are already there, refurbishing them with new faceplates, adding new lights, intercom and software.

Acting Chairman Berry asked if there were any further questions or comments. There being none, Acting Chairman Berry called for a motion to approve the resolution . On motion made and duly seconded, the resolution was approved.

3. Resolution of the City University Construction Fund Authorizing Replacement of One Air Handling Unit at the West Building, Hunter College (No. 2284).

Acting Chairman Berry read the resolution, and called upon Deputy Executive Director Antonelli to report on the item. Mr. Antonelli said that in November, 2017 the CUCF Board approved a resolution for the design of the replacement air handler. This resolution is a companion to that one, in that it will implement the design, replacing the existing unit on the 6th floor which is in poor condition. The current unit is not performing adequately. If the resolution is approved, design is expected to be complete by the end of this month, and construction will be able to start in the spring. The unit is available under an OGS requirements contract, so there is no need for a separate solicitation. Mr. Lemieux stated that the current unit is 40 years old. Trustee Obergfell asked if all the other units were that old. Mr. Ali Vedavarz replied that there are another 8 units in the building, some in better condition than this one, but they are expected to need replacement. The unit that is the subject of this resolution is critical - the steam core is not working, the dampers are not working, etc. Mr. Obergfell asked what the useful

remaining life was on the others, and if they would be the same price. Mr. Vedavarz said 5-10 years at most, and that the other units would cost more, as they are larger.

Acting Chairman Berry asked if there were any further questions or comments. There being none, he called for a motion to approve. On motion made and duly seconded, the resolution was approved.

Acting Chairman's Report

Acting Chairman Berry said that the next CUCF Board meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 25, 2019 at 9:30 a.m., immediately following the Governance Committee meeting, which is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. Also at that time he requested that the Queens College video on capital projects be shown.

Subsequent meeting dates for 2019 are as follows:

Thursday, May 23, 9:30 a.m. Thursday, June 27, 9:30 a.m., preceded by the regularly-scheduled Governance Committee meeting at 9:00 a.m.

Mr. Berry praised the ribbon cutting event .at the New York City College of Technology New Academic Building, which took place on March 15th . He said there was a good turnout - the Borough President and members of the City Council came. He suggested everyone should make a trip to view the new space. Mr. Lemieux said that while it is a science building it is very contextual to the neighborhood. DOT has approved a traffic light installation in between the Namm building and this new building across Jay Street to enhance pedestrian protection. Mr. Berry requested video footage, and a presentation on the different programs on campus.

Mr. Berry also commended the opening of the Brooklyn College Performing Arts Center, saying that the new architecture has altered the way the public sees the campus. The new entrance on Hillel and Campus Drive is a facelift that changes the campus' personality.

He then called on Deputy Executive Director John Antonelli for the report of the Executive Director.

Report of the Executive Director

Mr. Antonelli stated that his report at this meeting would be a presentation covering what is taking place at City College, with an eye toward showing the Board images of projects that have been completed, and projects that are in the works. He called upon Ralph Carmosino, an Assistant Director in the Department of Design and Construction, to give a photo presentation. These efforts amount to more than $300 million worth of investment.

Ralph Carmosino presented a slideshow of City College's various projects. He stated that Mr. Stabulas and his staff at DASNY have been involved with almost all of the projects at CCNY, so any questions that arise can be asked of him as well.

Mr. Carmosino proceeded to give a short history of City College. CCNY covers two campuses, North and South, divided by 135th Street. The North campus was begun in 1910 with the Gothic Quad buildings, designed by George B. Post. Mr Stabulas said several well known buildings are Mr. Post's - the NY Stock Exchange, the Brooklyn Historical Society Building, and Bushwick Savings Bank. Many of Post's downtown NYC buildings were demolished. Over the last 20 years, the CCNY buildings' exteriors have had to be restored because their terra cotta ornamentation was cracking and falling off. The tower of Harris Hall, for instance, sustained structural cracking and had to be replaced. Mr. Carmosino stated that the buildings' dark stone, called Manhattan Schist, was excavated during the excavation to build the #2 subway line on Broadway. The South Campus, on which the ASRC science complex is now situated, was once the site of a convent.

CCNY has three categories of current capital projects - Infrastructure, ADA Accessibility, and Program.

Infrastructure proiects include 1) Roofs. Following a Roof Study completed in 2017, several roof projects were

outlined: the Shepard Hall Music Library (completed); Compton-Goethels Hall (in design); Baskerville Hall (In design); and Marshak Plaza Roof (in design).

2) Elevators and Escalators: Steinman Hall has received an elevator upgrade (construction completed); Shepard Hall is receiving a new ADA elevator; and for the NAC building, an elevator and escalator study is currently in design.

3) HVAC and IT Upgrades: Marshak Hall is in Phase 2 of a 3-Phase HVAC upgrade to modernize ventilation for future labs; At the Grove School of Engineering in Steinman Hall, an HVAC upgrade of the entire building system is in design; at Shepard Hall and Steinman Hall, building-wide IT system upgrades are in design.

ADA Accessibility projects include: 1) Campus-wide, various lecture halls in Marshak and Shepard, toilet rooms in

Shepard, lifts in Marshak, sidewalk and curb cut modifications are being upgraded or installed

2) Wingate Hall is getting a new ADA elevator and entry, and toilet/locker room upgrades.

Program projects include: 1) Wingate Hall Locker Room renovations (in construction) 2) Day Care Center (in construction)

Mr. Stabulas explained that CCNY is CUNY's busiest campus.
