The meeting began at 8:15 p.m.
Attending the meeting were: Woody Koning, Kyle Shaffer, John Burt, Scott Bonney, Eric Ness,
Greg Hacker, and Gerry Cloudy, Steve Hobgood and Kaye McClain, staff. Also attending was
Don Prochaska, Steve Riley, Janis Vilums, all of Prochaska & Associates, Jim Garbeff,
Universal Construction Co., Inc., and Stan Thompson, Kodiak Island Hospital.
Minutes of the work session, Sept. 20, 1994 were approved following a motion by Scott
Bonney and a second by Gerry Cloudy. They also moved and seconded the approval of the
August 23, 1994 minutes. The motion passed.
Mr. Hobgood reminded the members of the board they recommend projects to the Assembly
twice during its design; the concept /schematic stage and the 95% completion stage. Tonight's
meeting is to recommend the conceptual drawings of Kodiak Island Hospital. He noted the
project is phased:
Brechan has been awarded the contract to do Phase I
Site Work; Phase I
Building with third floor shell, Phase II
Completion of third floor, Phase III
Remodel and upgrade of old facility, Phase IV
It is expected to be a three year process.
He introduced Don Prochaska. Eric Ness indicated the group had discussed heating options at
the last meeting and they wanted to know what is planned for heating the hospital. Janis
Vilums, responsible for the concept of the design discussed the criteria for hospital design and
the process which has been followed to bring the drawings this far. Don Prochaska discussed
the life of the existing building and the need for protecting the exterior structure for increased
life -years as well as unifying the two structures together.
He then introduced Jim Garbeff, who consults on the constructability issues, and Steve Riley,
Director of Design, who addressed Energy Systems and the Technical Assistance Study, a grant
which is 65% complete at this time.
Scott Bonney said the biggest construction problems on Kodiak are leaky roofs and wall
sections which don't work. The group was assured that economies would be effected in the
building, but that the exterior structure would not suffer in strength to save dollars. A stronger,
perhaps more expensive exterior, pays for itself in the long run by adding to the life -years of
the building. A letter of surplus Department of Defense hospital equipment (see attached) was
shared with the board. It was noted some of the equipment is held for Native American and
Alaska Native use.
Gerry Cloudy and Sta Oompson discussed the types of t needed in the Hospital. Stan
indicated he was looking at hydronic heat /hot air heating. space for piping, etc. runs and
fire alarm systems were also addressed. It was suggested that the hospital try to standardize
some systems with the School District. The question of a security room for mechanical
equipment was addressed.
Jim Garbeff discussed the concept of construction management. Steve Hob 9 ood indicated he
preferred to use construction management on this project. He felt the subcontractors could be
screened for past performance and that would eliminate some of the problems encountered in
other projects.
Eric Ness moved the conceptual plans for Kodiak Island Hospital be recommended to the
Assembly for approval. Seconded by Mr. Cloudy, the motion carried unanimously on a roll call
vote.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:20 p.m.
