~ net square feet and could all be fit into the 2°~ floor, leaving the 3rd floor as retail lease space. The conferencing center and Transit will occupy the 4'~ floor. Transit is looking for a more rectangular section of floor space than being spread out. RG wants to see what comes up in the planning stages. It is not essential for Transit to be directly above its space on the ground floor. The architect will concentrate efforts on placing all County offices on the 2nd flaor. They will do some layouts this week. Randy has scheduled a meeting at 1:30 p.m. on F#iday, May 30~` with County Department heads to talk about para.meters, cost issues, etc. Leon~rd will try and have some bubble diagrams available for this meeting. Transit Report RG and Randy attending meeting last week with local government and the Chamber. They had received an advanced copy of questions, but everything went smoothly and the answered all questions. One concern that they have pickup up from the public in general is that a public agency is overbuilding the project with unfair competitive leased office space downtown. The one advantage we have is a good parking ratio for first class office space that others ca.n't compete with. County is not ready to back off on square footage. Our first option will be to deal with TI's, but not build out all azeas. The second would be to look for an investor to pick up some square foota.ge that is not needed. Either option should not affect the architect's designs at this time or put them on hold. ~ Architect Report Leonazd reported that they keep plowing ahead. We are developing more and more details as we go along. We have scheduled a meeting with Dave & Mike Hayford on working on the structure and working within budget. De-watering Issue Dave asked where we stand on the de-watering. Leonard has a call in to Kathl~en at Century- west and hasn't heard back yet. Stan Kelsey is a consultant they may bring in who has expertise in water. RG asked when does the new sewer line go into Chemeketa ? They are working on a sanitary sewer. The storm sewer runs pazallel to sanitary sewer. Tim from the city said that during the dry season there is not a problem, and you can pump a lot of water into it. Hqwever when it rains, that option is not available. This needs to be addressed with Centurywest. Discussions were held on what the impact on design would be to reduce the building by 20,000 square feet. The would be no significant negative impact from an architectural standpoint. We need to revisit the impact of taking square footage out of the structure. Taking out 20,000 square feet could have impact on how building handles structurally. It could be an easy process or the structural engineer could have problems with this. Pence/Kelly Curt had a question about staging areas. The contractor will need temporary trailers to operate Page 4 of 6
