Search tips:
- This form will search for words in the title OR the description. If you would like to search for the same term(s) across both the title and description, enter the same search term(s) in both fields.
- This form will search for any of the words you enter in a field, not the exact phrase you enter. If you would like to search for an exact phrase, put double quotes (") around the phrase. For example, if you search for Bike Path you will get results containing either the word Bike OR the word Path, but if you search for "Bike Path" you will get results containing the exact phrase Bike Path.

Feasibility Study approved by SSC and CCRC
Associated Project(s):SSC confirmed funding of $15,000 for composting feasibility study 5/9/11. Study approved 5/12/11 by Chancellor’s Capital Review Committee (CCRC) with Fall 2011 completion target. Proposal requested from Retainer A/E Foth Engineering, which was also the A/E on the previous composting project before it was cancelled.
Funding request submitted to SSC for FY12
Associated Project(s):In Fall 2010, The Bike Project requested $7,500 in funding from SSC for 50% of a half-time shop manager. The SSC approved this request.
Composting project discussions continue
Associated Project(s):Meeting with SSC and F&S to confirm details of composting feasibility study scope. Kevin, Matt, and Morgan worked on completing the project request form. Kevin, Carl, and Tracy worked on detailing the transportation charges budget. Kevin also met with Dawn Aubrey about the food waste supply.
Quick payback projects
Associated Project(s):At some point in the past, perhaps FY 09, Terry Ruprecht and the Provost’s office worked out an agreement to provide a funding source for “quick payback projects.” This meant that the payback was expected to be quick, typically in the 1-3 year range. This was a onetime funding source. A variety of projects (10-15) have been brought forward and funded at a value of approximately 1 million dollars. These projects have included lighting retrofits, fume hood removals, chiller control upgrades, adding variable frequency drives (VFDs) to HVAC equipment, temperature control upgrades, and hot water control valve replacements.

James Hoffer, student intern, created building list file
Associated Project(s):James provided the attached list of buildings audited by student teams in FY11. Unfortunately, these audits were rushed and incomplete. There were many follow up discussions about paying the student teams as originally intended, and in the end the teams were not paid. This decision was coordinated by Mckenzie Beverage, the SSC Program Advisor, during FY12 and FY13.
