  •  Adjustment to the Space Needs Summary and a Final Programming Rreport.
    • MLS issued a final needs document on May 9th to the City of OKC.
    • The budget and abatement work has been set at $4,160,000

    • This was approved by the MLC on May 15th  
    • It is expected to go to City Council on June 10th
  • Negotiations & approval of Guernsey Architects Contract Revisions
    • The City of OKC & MLS met on May 1st, May 3rd and May 19th to discuss adjustments to the design contract.
    • Guernsey is working on a response which should be submitted to OKC for approval in June.
  • Issue an updated schedule
    • SIGNIFICANT UPDATE – MLS will not need to move out until AFTER summer reading 2015.

DOWNTOWN

  • MLS is working on a formal request for the funding for the Downtown Library wall panel repairs and the skylight replacement.

EDMOND PARKING

  • We expect to present a Project Agreement for this work to the Commission in June.

EDMOND 2

  • On May 20th, the Edmond held a Capital Project Task Force meeting, which was attended by MLS.  In the meeting, Edmond detailed dollar amounts for various capital projects (i.e. Fire Stations, Parks & Recreation, etc).  The second Edmond Library was shown to have $6.5 million budget which is far below the $11 million projected by MLS.  There remains a lot of work for MLS, Edmond staff, the Edmond community to make this a reality.
