Board of Governors - APPENDIX II - February 3, 2000
FOR APPROVAL
Recommended: That the Board of Governors approve an increase in the square footage of the Dental Sciences Addition from 15,000 gross square feet to 25,500 gross square feet . The expansion and internal renovations will not exceed $8 million.
Background:
In April 1999, the Property and Finance Committee approved the construction of a 15,000 sq. ft. addition and up to 10,000 sq. ft. of renovation to the Dental Sciences Building at a cost of up to $5 million. A design team was selected and the design was started. At the same time, design of the $28 million renovation project for the Medical Sciences Building was under way. It was determined that there is an extreme shortage of space for the Medical School faculty. As well, in order to implement renovations in the Medical Sciences Building, "swing space" to accommodate continuing research and teaching during the renovations was required. As a result it was decided to address this need by increasing the budget of the Medical Sciences project from $28 million by $4 million to $32 million. This would provide $1 million for increased chiller capacity for cooling for the Medical Sciences Building and $3 million for additional space and renovations for the Medical faculty. It was determined that the most economical method to accommodate the Medical faculty space needs and provide "swing space" for renovations was to increase the size of the Dental Sciences Addition by about 10,500 sq. ft. and to carry out other renovations to the existing building. Thus, the $8 million required for the Dental project as presented here includes $3 million of the planned Medical Sciences project budget plus the $5 million associated with the Dental Sciences Addition project as originally envisaged. The site plan and design are attached as Annex 1.
The addition to the Dental Sciences Building will therefore be increased by 25,500 sq. ft. on 3 floors of 8,500 sq. ft. each and will consist of 15,000 sq. ft. for Dentistry and 10,500 sq. ft. for Medicine.
The Dentistry portion of this project has a maximum budget of $5 million, with $2.5 million coming from the University budget over five years and $2.5 million to be provided by the Dentistry budget or fundraising. The total $5 million budget will cover all costs, including renovations to existing space, construction of new space, furnishings, equipment, and carrying costs. Any expenditures over the $5 million will be the responsibility of the Dentistry budget (i.e. the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry budget).
The project will provide Dentistry with the facilities required to accommodate the various components of the agreed-upon financial plan for Dentistry, including the necessary facilities for expanded student clinics, faculty intramural clinics, instructional space, research space, faculty/staff office space, and student support space. Failure to accommodate the space required by the financial plan will directly impact on the Faculty's operating budget.
The total budget for the Medicine Project as submitted to the SuperBuild Growth Fund is $32 million, which is an increase from the original $28 million, and is expected to cover all renovations, construction of new space, heating/cooling systems, increased chiller capacity at $1 million, furnishings, equipment, and carrying costs. As necessary, this budget also must accommodate additional space in the Dental addition. Of this $32 million, the University has committed $5 million (over 10 years) from the central operating budget. This will cover the cost of the additional space. The balance has yet to be identified, but the sources include fundraising, SuperBuild Fund, CFI/ORDCF/OIT, the University's deferred maintenance budget, and possibly some borrowing.
The $32 million project assumes that as many as possible of current and future successful CFI/ORDCF/OIT initiatives will be accommodated within the current scope of the project (including available space in the Dental project) and that associated capital funding therefore will be set against the $32 million cost.
It is proposed to complete the design of the renovations and the 25,500 sq. ft. Dental Sciences addition and call tenders for the construction by March 2000. The design will be similar to that presented in April 1999 but the footprint will be larger. The design will permit the addition of another floor in the future as well as expansion to the west. Total completion of the project is anticipated for September 2001.
The following recommendations are made subject to approval by Senate (January 28, 2000).

Recommended: That the Board approve a four (4) year contract commencing May 1, 2000 (+1 one year extension at the option of the University) for the rental of the Canon administrative photocopiers from OE London Inc.
Background:
In accordance with Board Purchasing policy 2.8 and the Interprovincial Trade Agreement cov ering the Broader Public Sector, the Request For Proposal (RFP) was advertised on the government approved Merx open bid system. Responses were evaluated in accordance with the criteria and weighting outlined in the posted RFP. A review committee comprised of representatives from faculties and administrative units and led by the Purchasing Department completed the selection process. The choice of suppliers was unanimous by the committee. The agreement is dynamic. Consequently it will allow for future units to be added as required especially to address needs arising from the impact of the double cohort, migration to digital technology and upgrades or downgrades without penalty as campus unit needs require.
An important element of this process was the co-operative inclusion of the University of Guelph. Both 澳门六合彩开奖预测 and the University of Guelph are members of the Ontario University Purchasing Management Association (OUPMA). This represents the first co-operative tendering of administrative photocopying needs in Ontario. Co-operative purchasing and its associated benefits are a high priority at 澳门六合彩开奖预测.
OE London Inc. has been a preferred and primary supplier to 澳门六合彩开奖预测 for many years for Canon fax equipment. As a business partner on Canon fax equipment OE London Inc. established a strategic alliance with the University's Hardware Services Department to service the Canon fax equipment. On all relationships with OE London Inc. the University has enjoyed excellent service and value. As part of this agreement, OE London Inc. and Canon Canada will invite appropriate UWO staff to attend Canon technology seminars and focus groups. Further, they will work with UWO Purchasing Department to beta test new emerging Canon technology and assist in guiding 澳门六合彩开奖预测 forward into the new digital information management era. As such OE London Inc and Canon Canada are viewed as strategic University business partners.
Financial Implications:
There are no capital outlays required by the University. Payment is on a cost per copy basis for actual copies made and includes the equipment, maintenance and supplies, except paper. The price per copy remains fixed for the full term of the contract. Based upon today's volumes and participation rates, the five year expenditure will amount to approximately $1,500,000 and will be funded from the budgets of the participating budget units. This represents an estimated savings of $289,000 or 16% less than the current agreement ending April 30, 2000, with Xerox Canada.
FOR INFORMATION
In April 1999, the construction of a large 650+ seat classroom was presented and approved for construction by September 2000 as part of the capital budget submission. The need for this classroom came as the result of the creation of new Faculties and the expansion of many programs and the consolidation and expansion of courses. This project was incorporated in the SuperBuild Growth Fund Application and was discussed at the October 18 meeting of the Property and Finance Committee.
Since October, a design team has been selected and the attached conceptual design (Annex 2) is recommended for approval by the Project Planning Committee.
The classroom will be housed in an addition to the Natural Sciences Building adjacent to the Biological and Geological Sciences Building. The exterior of the addition will be similar to the existing buildings. It will seat close to 700 students in theatre type seating with large table arms. "Crush" space outside the classroom will be provided. The classroom will be well equipped with audio visual aids and considerable attention has been made to ensure the acoustical characteristics of the room are good.
The classroom will have a balcony (250 seats) that can be closed off for classes of 400 - 450 students or less. The balcony optimizes the relations between class-size, acoustics, sight lines, and the proximity of students to the lecturer.
The time lines for construction are very tight for completion before September 2000.
This project will be funded from the capital budget or as part of the SuperBuild Fund.
Saugeen-Maitland Hall is one of the largest university student residences in Canada and houses 1,200 students. The facility was built in the late 1960s and the kitchen/dining facilities do not suit current needs.
The current servery area is outdated and inefficient and does not provide the desired environment for the students who live in the building. Changing approaches to efficiency, preparing, presenting and serving more nutritional menus cannot be accommodated in the current set up. This project will include a total replacement and rework of the servery to permit more modern, flexible, efficient and effective provision of food to student residents during the academic year and major conferences during the summer. The quality and service of the food will be improved and the kitchen staff will be reduced. The dining room will also be re-decorated.
The design is well underway and it is planned to complete the project within a tight time frame, between the end of classes in April 2000 and the start of classes in September 2000. The project will be funded from the Housing and Food Services budget.

Bunker C Fuel Oil Spill
On November 15, 1999, a spill of Bunker C Fuel occurred at the University of 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Ontario. The spill which was discovered at around 9:45 p.m. had originated from the UWO Power Plant west Bunker C fuel storage tank. Human error by contractor staff carrying out repairs to the fuel tank's system has been attributed to the discharge of more than 500 gallons of fuel.
A quick inspection of the area was performed and it was discovered that the Bunker C fuel was flowing from the fuel tank into a storm sewer catch basin and discharged at the storm sewer outfall near the Thames River. No fuel had reached the Thames River.
The Ministry of the Environment and Energy (MOEE) Spill Action Centre was immediately informed of the spill situation. UWO Grounds Crew, Power Plant Staff, and Spill Control Personnel were immediately summoned to the scene. In addition, the London Fire Department, the City Engineering Department, and Safety Kleen and Hydra-Dyne Industrial Cleaning Services Ltd. were called in to assist in the spill control efforts.
Cleaning activities over the next four days included the excavation of contaminated asphalt and soil, the decontamination of the sewer system, and the removal of contaminated discharge water.
On Friday, November 20, 1999, the MOEE Abatement Officer revisited the spill site and was pleased with the cleaning operation. The cost of the clean-up is approximately $140,000. The contractor and his insurance company have been requested to cover the clean-up costs.
