E. Distribution of Proposals for New ADF&G Building
B. Cassidy gave a brief history of the Project: $1.5 million from the State Legislature initially
and an additional $500,000 this Legislative Session. An RFP was advertised for the Site
Selection and Design of a new ADF&G Building. He noted that the site has not yet been
determined, but there are two sites being considered - both on Near Island. He asked the Board
Members to review the Proposals submitted.
The consensus of the Board was to schedule a meeting to review their scoring of the Proposals on
8 August 2006 - select a "short list" to interview. The interview schedule was set for 29 and 30
August 2006.
F. Discussion re RFP#2
B. Cassidy advised the Board that RFP#2 [Peterson Elementary School Seismic Upgrade,
Ouzinkie and Old Harbor Schools V ocEd Gym Repair and Remodel and Larsen Bay Floor
Repair] would have to follow the normal process for soliciting Proposals - it is a State DEED
requirement for the Bond Projects.
K. Smith suggested that the process could be shortened by making a selection based solely on a
review of Proposals. It is likely that firms submitting Proposals will be firms that have previously
been interviewed by the ARB.

Discussions Not on Agenda
S. Arndt asked B. Cassidy for an update on the Pool Project. Bud said that the Assembly is
looking at options to help fund the Project - a new Bond in October, the Facilities Fund and other
options that might be available.
J. Johnston questioned the status of upgrades to the existing pool. B. Cassidy said that Ken Smith
is arranging with BBFM to have a structural engineer inspect the problem areas at the existing
pool and to issue a report. Findings in that report - if the structural integrity is adequate - will
dictate whether or not to go forward with upgrades. Tuck said that he has gathered information
from pool operators and product distributors re saline and UV systems. Information he has
gathered indicates that one system or the other will work - saline with backup puck system, UV
with chlorine. The saline system appears to be the preferred and adding a UV system would not
be necessary. He said the saline system will, in the long run, be a cost saver. The system will fit
in the existing pool and would be transferable to the new pool. His recommendation is that a
saline system and a new air handler system be the priorities in an upgrade. S. Arndt added that a
new roof is needed.
J. Johnston concurred with Tuck's recommendation.
