Update as of December 18, 2024
The following progress has been made since the November Board Meeting:
- A meeting was held involving Director of Operations, the Architect, and the Engineer to discuss foundation options for the project.
- For both childcare facilities, the draft Class A cost estimate for traditional stick-build construction is currently under review by the Architect and will be issued for review next week.
- The Class A cost estimate for the modular construction option is still being completed by the cost estimate consultant.
- Coordination of site conditions for both facilities with the City of Dawson Creek and the District of Tumbler Ridge is still ongoing.
- Structural and civil engineering coordination remains in progress.
Next Steps:
- Review the final costing once it is received and integrate any necessary adjustments into the design plans.
- Continue with detailed design work to ensure all elements are resolved and ready for the next phase.
- Maintain open communication with city representatives to ensure regulatory compliance and alignment.
- Finalize the Class A cost estimates for both construction options.
- Confirm site-specific requirements, including fire hydrant locations, in coordination with the City of Dawson Creek.
