Key Items of Interest:

  1. Fiscal Year Budget Preparation: Preparing for the tentative budget process by closing Purchase Orders (POs) that can be finalized ahead of the fiscal year transition and updating contract balance reports to identify POs that will need to roll over into the next fiscal year.
  1. SDSU / SDCCD Joint Science Building Project at Qualcomm Complex: A draft Request for Qualifications/Proposal (RFQ/P) is under joint review. The project is tentatively expected to begin the design phase October 2028.
  1. Linear Generator: Evaluate deployment of Linear Generator (“LGen”) modules across district campus locations to provide on-site power generation. A linear generator converts fuel directly into electricity through a low-temperature, flameless reaction. Without combustion or complex mechanical parts, it provides high efficiency, low emissions, and quiet operation in a compact, modular system built for local generation.
  1. Emergency Communication (IT): Design replacement of legacy Internet Protocol (IP) based emergency speakers and phones.
