NOTES:
1 Budget allocation for the following projects is not included in this report. Budget reprogramming to provide funds is being undertaken by the CPM in coordination with the LATTC Management.
Design & Construction :
Construction Technolgy Building - Upgrade Toilet Facilities 07T-6711.03.02
Construction :
Emergency Lighting, Fire Alarm and Security Systems - Electrical Site Distribution 17T.7772.05.03
2 Due to unavailability of Task Orders for contracts initiated at the District-level to indicate the contract amount allocated to each Campus, the amount committed or encumbered to date for each campus may become variable and balancing the Project Budget against the District-wide Contract and Paid Invoices may be indeterminate. In the interim, this report reflects the amount committed to date as equal to the invoices paid to date. The CPM will request DMJM/JGM for resolution of this issue.
3 The budget allocation for OCIP (Account # 6200-100-30 / 6200-150-30) is tied to each respective project, however, the contracts and invoice payments are under the "Holding Ledger - 07T.6795.05 " making it very difficult to balance the project budget against the campus -wide contracts and payments.The CPM will request DMJM/JGM for resolution of this issue.
4 This report reflects the new state contribution of $103,472.00 to Campus Improvements - New Fuel Tanks project (07T-6779.03.01). Letter from Cheryl Larry of the State Chancellor's Office to Bruce Rosky of LACCD dated July 11, 2005 applies.
