• Cost not to exceed $645,000

2. LSC-UP’s buildings 9 and 10 as well as Parking Garage 9 will be separated from the campus’s other buildings, as they are now owned by a third party. This project will be funded by “sales proceeds included in the College Capital projects budget.”

• Completion date TBA
• Cost not to exceed $591,150

3. The roofs on LSC-UP’s buildings 12 and 13 will be replaced due to problems with leaking. The project has already been started but was delayed due to delayed materials.
