A MESSAGE FROM THE C.O.C. CHAIR

I

t is hard to believe that the SDCCD is in its tenth year of expending the monies approved in the 2002 Prop S and 2006 Prop N bond measures. The total monies approved by the taxpayers/voters were over $1.5 billion dollars. As of this writing, more than 50 projects and campus upgrades have been completed and we will have just passed over $1 billion in program expenditures.

Part of the job of this volunteer oversight committee is to ask tough questions on behalf of taxpayers to assure accountability and transparency. We take this opportunity to thank District staff and consultants for providing the necessary information to help us determine that the bond program is and has been managed effectively, professionally, and to the letter of the law.

Our Construction Subcommittee reviewed processes and contractual requirements related to the increased use of Design/Build as a construction delivery method, providing the greatest value for taxpayers. Our payment processes were analyzed, and shown to be favorable to workers and ensure wages are paid in a timely fashion.

The Finance & Audit Subcommittee reviewed invoicing processes and determined the District does an effective job of processing its expenditures. The Communications Subcommittee played a key role in the redesign of the Propositions S and N website, promoting greater transparency in all matters related to management of the bond program.

For the tenth consecutive year, our District has received top bond ratings and clean audits. All this affirms that the SDCCD continues to be one of the best managed community college districts in the nation.

As always, our meetings are open to anyone interested in attending.

Meeting details and documents are always available on the Propositions S and N website (public.sdccdprops-n.com). We absolutely welcome and encourage your involvement.

Sincerely, Evonne Seron Schulze

PROJECT PROFIlE: CITY COLLEGE MATHEMATICS & SOCIAL SCIENCES BUILDING

M

any great advancements in our society – from manufacturing to medicine – have come from the minds of those who have studied and pursued careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). According to a 2011 U.S. Department of Commerce report, the STEM workforce has an outsized impact on the nation’s competitiveness, economic growth, and overall standard of living. For college students, there is a significant payoff in pursuing a STEM degree and career; the growth rate for STEM jobs is three times as fast as growth in non-STEM jobs.

Cutting-edge facilities like the City College Mathematics and Social Sciences Building demonstrate that the design and construction of SDCCD’s academic facilities are not only creating state-of-the-art living labs, but also serve as physical pathways to the future.

“All STEM fields require an extensive knowledge of Mathematics. The 11 math classrooms and two dedicated computer labs will provide faculty and students with large, pleasant spaces and state-of-the-art technology in which to pursue the learning of Mathematics,” says Minou Spradley, City’s Dean of Engineering Technologies, Mathematics, Science and Nursing.

The new Math and Social Sciences building will serve thousands of students each semester, and in addition to housing the Mathematics program, it will provide a new home to more than 10 academic disciplines.

“These subjects are some student favorites including Psychology, History, Political Science, Sociology, and Chicano and Black Studies,” says Lori Erreca, Dean of Behavioral Science, Consumer and Family Studies.

“The faculty were involved in planning the building and took great care to create a positive learning environment for students. The stateof-the-art classrooms will enhance instruction and support student learning as will the long-needed Anthropology life science laboratory,” adds Erreca. “This building is one of the many new structures that are bringing a new and fresh look to San Diego City College.”

CITY COLLEGE MATHEMATICS AND SOCIAL SCIENCES BUILDING

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE Periodically, C.O.C. members are asked why construction is moving forward when classes have been cut and there is a student waiting list. The answer is two-fold.

First, by law the proceeds of the sale of Propositions S and N bonds must be used only for the purposes set forth in the ballot measure, and not for faculty salaries, or other District operating expenses.

Second, proceeding with construction at an accelerated rate has allowed the District to take advantage of a competitive bid climate favorable to taxpayers. As the economy improves, facilities will be complete and ready to accommodate full enrollment.

7

PUTTING PEOPLE TO WORK Beyond the investment in the future of education, Propositions S and N projects also provide a valuable investment into the local workforce. To date, nearly 9,250 jobs have been created as a result of the construction program. These are prevailing wage jobs which enable workers to provide for their families and contribute to San Diego’s overall economy.

NEW YEAR, NEW FACILITIES, BRIGHT FUTURE

Students throughout SDCCD are settling into both the new and renovated facilities and taking advantage of state-of-the-art technology and upgrades. Be it a classroom or laboratory or place to study, these spaces are already making a positive impact on the student population.

For San Diego Miramar College student Matthew Chesterton, the upgraded facilities are enabling him to find a career path into the aviation industry.

“I love the fact that through this program I am not only allowed to take stuff apart and really get in and see what’s going on, I’m encouraged to do it. It's a ton of fun and I really enjoy what I’m doing.”

Student John Acuna feels similarly about the modernized facility.

“I really enjoy the program so far, the faculty here teaching Aviation Maintenance is by far the best in the industry. When we graduate from here we’re going to be the best students and best mechanics out there.”

“I love the aviation program. This building will give me the tools I need to be a good airport manager and hopefully someday CEO of American Airlines…this is my future job.”

“I come here at night instead of going home; it’s got fewer distractions and has plenty of resources available,” said Associated Students President Michael Shepard about Miramar College’s Library/Learning Resource Center. “The computer lab has brand new computers, work stations, and study stations, and is another huge asset to the students.”

Student Sarah Roselli believes the renovated Aviation Technology Center has given students the space to be increasingly hands-on.

GOING LEAN SAVES GREEN

L

ean construction – a project management approach based on lean manufacturing principles intended to improve production processes by minimizing cost and waste and maximizing value for the customer – is now integrated throughout the SDCCD construction bond program. The integration of lean strategies will allow SDCCD to triple its building square footage, while reducing operating budgets. Over the past four years, $46 million in operations costs have been saved by utilizing lean tools and strategies. This includes the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to save time and money on schedules and change orders (read more on page 21).

Change orders add to, delete from, or otherwise alter a contract, typically due to a design change, material substitution or an unforeseen condition. Projects designed in BIM average a 4.1% change order rate; older projects designed without BIM average 8.6%.

11

The use of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), combining people, systems, business structures and practices, is reducing waste and maximizing efficiencies. Integrated design processes allow decisions to be made early when the opportunity for change is maximized and the cost of changes is minimized.

By applying lean principles to custodial and maintenance functions, SDCCD eliminated the need to add 20 positions – the equivalent of $813,000 in salary savings annually. Improvements included implementation of a new prioritization matrix and new work flow processes, and the purchase of a more robust computerized maintenance management system.

Urgent work orders are now turned around in a couple of hours, not days. Lower-priority work orders that sometimes took two weeks are now routinely resolved within 24 hours.

Additional efficiencies implemented over the next six years will increase total savings to $20 million.

n 2002, San Diego voters approved the passage of Proposition S, a $685 million school capital improvement bond. In 2006, they approved Proposition N, a $870 million bond. Both bond measures passed with almost a two-thirds majority. Together, Propositions S and N are providing for new, state-ofthe-art instructional and career training facilities, major renovations, public safety and accessibility enhancements, parking, and campuswide infrastructure projects at City, Mesa, and Miramar colleges, and six Continuing Education campuses. On this 10th anniversary of the bond program, the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD) is proud to have completed nearly 50 taxpayer-approved projects.

SDCCD is consistently awarded the highest bond ratings from financial agencies and is acknowledged for best practices by numerous taxpayer organizations. In addition to being a good steward of taxpayer dollars, SDCCD is also an effective and conscientious caretaker of limited natural resources.

The District’s Green Building Policy requires that 10% of a project’s total energy is generated from renewable resources. All projects are design to obtain the highest possible Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC). Materials made with recycled content are used exclusively throughout.

In addition to serving as an investment in the future of education in San Diego, the construction bond program has served as an investment into the local workforce. To date, there have been more than 9,200 jobs generated on Propositions S and N projects.

with South Bay Subaru, which along with other dealerships, scouts for talented mechanics at the Skills Center. “The training provided here has totally opened doors for me,” says Gilbert.

“In the older buildings you had to study language exclusively by book. The only accent you heard was your instructor’s,” says Michael C., an International Relations major. “With our smart classrooms, we can connect digitally with people from around the globe to hear different accents and learn about different languages and cultures as if we were right there.”

Sojeila C., a student esthetician, uses the Career Technology Center at City College as a bragging point with clients. “Everything is beautiful and state-ofthe-art. They feel like they are in a real spa. It’s the Harvard of community colleges.”

Cherie D., a Political Science major, credits San Diego voters for making the campus modernizations a reality.

“These new facilities are unrivaled and will help students receive a much more enriched education.”

Projects are within budget and have low change-order rates. The Associated General Contractors awarded the San Diego Community College District a rare Public Owner Award, describing the construction program as an “outstanding value” for taxpayers.

SDCCD is consistently awarded Standard and Poor’s bond performance rating of AA+, the highest of any California community college district. The San Diego County Taxpayers Association has awarded SDCCD a perfect score of 100% for bond performance.

SDCCD’s Green Building Policy requires all eligible projects to achieve the highest possible Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification.

SDCCD is on track for 41 LEED certifications – more than any single educational entity locally.

The SDCCD is regularly honored by organizations across the nation for implementing innovations in design, construction, energy efficiency and project delivery, making SDCCD a leader and model for effective capital improvement program management.

dEsIGN & CoNsTRUCTION

T

he San Diego Community College District has in place Design Guidelines and Standards to guide the efficient and cost-effective design and construction of all new and modernized buildings, and ensure compliance with accessibility mandates.

A Green Building Policy incorporates criteria from the U.S. Green Building Council and the California Green Building Code, and specifies that each project must exceed state energy efficiency requirements, generate renewable energy on-site, incorporate extensive use of materials with recycled content, and achieve at least 75% waste diversion of construction and demolition debris.

SDCCD was one of the first community college districts in California to have developed rigorous standards for the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM is a digital representation of the physical and functional characteristics of a facility, allowing architects, engineers, and contractors to collaborate earlier in the design and construction process with greater accuracy and thoroughness. BIM also allows for evaluation of building energy performance with different orientations and building skin options helping the District design highly energy efficient buildings.

By building the facility in digital space before it is constructed in real space, project teams are able to detect clashes, allowing for time- and cost-saving corrections to be made prior to construction. In the near future, these systems and data will be made available to Facilities Services as a tool that will help monitor, manage, and maintain the buildings.

ince the inception of the bond program, an overarching goal has been to assure value for the voters who approved the program. By the end of 2012, SDCCD has spent $985 million of the $1.555 billion approved bond measures, and completed nearly 50 projects and campus upgrades that taxpayers can be very proud of.

The use of BIM is enabling the District to save time and money on schedules and change orders. Projects designed in BIM average a 4.1% change order rate; older projects designed without BIM average 8.6%.

BIM is one of several Lean Construction principles that are integrated into all projects. Lean Construction is a production management-based approach to project delivery where work is structured throughout the process to maximize value and reduce waste. Efforts to manage and improve performance are aimed at improving the total project, challenging historic beliefs that there must always be a trade between time, cost, and quality. pull

Lean principles applied to maintenance and operations have allowed SDCCD to reduce its operating budgets by $26 million over an eight year period, while increasing its facility footprint by 65% to 3.7 million square feet.

1. Trespa Paneling is made up of wood-based fibers reinforced with resin and manufactured under high pressure and high temperature. Options for finishes are almost limitless, and the products typically last the life of the building. 2. Kalwall Panels are structural composite sandwich panels formed by permanently bonding specially-formulated fiberglass-reinforced translucent material to a grid core. This unique construction reduces solar gain while maximizing thermal insulation and producing a safer and healthier indoor climate and also allows daylighting. 3. Cradle to Cradle Materials can be deconstructed and recycled back into their original materials again and again so that waste is never an option. These products can include carpet and carpet tile backing, often made from recycled plastic bottles. 4. Linoleum floors contain linseed oil, rosin, wood flour, limestone and natural pigments, and are backed with jute – all natural materials. Harvesting these raw materials and producing linoleum demands relatively little energy and there are no toxic byproducts. 5. Terrazo Tile is composed of naturally occurring aggregates; recycled glass, plastic or bits of mirror, and processed cement or epoxy binders. It is extremely durable, requires low maintenance, and typically lasts the life of the building.

6. Bamboo is a 100% sustainable resource since it does not require replanting after harvest. It is extremely durable and is tougher than typical hardwood surfaces. It can take about 3-5 years for bamboo to reach full maturity. Traditional hardwoods can take 20-120 years to mature.

7. Recycled Rubber Play Surface Areas used at our parent-child development centers are made from recycled scrap tires and other rubber materials. In addition to providing excellent durability, recycled rubber surfaces provide a safer play surface than concrete or asphalt. 8. Bioswales are vegetated, mulched or xeriscaped channels that collect and filter rainfall and runoff. Plants, trees, and other vegetation remove pollutants before they can enter the storm drain system and help control erosion. 9. Daylighting is the practice of placing windows or other openings and reflective surfaces in a manner that maximizes the use of natural light and reduces the need for artificial light.This can include the use of high, vertically placed windows known as clerestory windows that allow natural light to filter through buildings or the use of tubular skylight fixtures. 10. Recycled Plastic Fencing is designed to make the rails and posts look like they are made from actual wood. Plastic fencing is a unique environmentally friendly product made from milk jugs and other recycled plastics. Unlike pressure-treated wood, there are no hazardous chemicals to leach out.

A single two-rail section of fencing can recycle as many as 525 gallon-sized milk jugs. 11. Pervious concrete allows stormwater to pass directly through, thereby reducing the amount of runoff from the site that would be displaced by typical concrete or asphalt paving. It is traditionally used in parking areas and is a recognized Best Management Practice by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for stormwater management.
