Description:  The purpose of this agenda item is to provide a final budget update for the Heritage Elementary School project.

Description:  The purpose of this agenda item is to request facility committee approval of proposals from both Roxanne Johnson (civil engineer) and TADI (traffic engineer) regarding a redesign of the Heritage/Intermediate School site. The facility committee previously requested information on moving forward with a proposal for this project. The District, Roxanne Johnson, the Village of Waunakee staff, and the Village of Waunakee's engineering team have met to review preliminary designs. Administration requests approval of the proposals. Vogel is holding back funds from the Heritage Elementary project for this project. Our goal is to complete this work in the summer of 2025.

Description:  The purpose of this agenda item is to discuss the Inflation Reduction Act in relation to the Heritage Elementary School project. Here is the current status of the Inflation Reduction Act:
1) Wipfli will be assisting the district in filing a claim for the solar system at Heritage.
2) Wipfli will be assisting the district in filing a claim for the solar system at Intermediate.
3) The District is finalizing the change order for the middle school prevailing wage requirements for the geothermal system with Vogel. 
4) A decision needs to be made for the geothermal system for Heritage Elementary.

Administration is seeking feedback from the committee regarding two options regarding the geothermal system at Heritage:
1) Wipfli files a claim for 6% reimbursement of the project costs, with no further district investment
2) The District asks Vogel to estimate a change order for the prevailing wage requirements so that a claim for 30% can be submitted. This would require further district investment and would result in IRS penalties/fines for non-compliance with prevailing wage requirements. Heritage will not qualify for prevailing wage requirement exemptions based on the start date of the project. 

Description:  The purpose of this agenda item is to provide an update on the finances for the High School/Bethel Circle projects. This update will be provided as part of the Vogel presentation for Heritage.
