6. Construction Manager Selection
4 interviews over 2 days
Boyd Jones; Meyers-Carlisle; Lueder; Lund Ross
Lueder Construction was selected
Lueder has completed 5 various projects for Lifegate (working on a 6th) and has also worked on a project for St. John's, Bennington
Their mission is based on serving mankind and they are grounded in Christian principles
They understand we have a preschool and school here and will control all individuals that will be onsite during construction. That includes background checking, signing in when on site and monitoring their working. There will be no smoking or profanity when they are on campus.

10. Acoustical Analysis Goals High speech intelligibility
Acoustic instruments and piano
In the current layout the Sanctuary provides –
good sound quality and reverberation
all categories are in a green status
Rotation of 90 degrees
all categories remain green with the exception of two
related to spoken words from the new chancel location
using wall treatments and small upright speakers (diffusers) in specific locations will resolve
Hard surface to be used on the Chancel
Carpet in the aisles; Cushions on the pews

11. Renovation Considerations
What code or engineering updates will be needed in the Sanctuary?
Need to develop plans for worship between May and October
Work with Preschool and Concordia Academy to minimize impact
Asbestos removal needed?
Sun glare through the south windows
Stained glass windows on the east wall – incorporation into the renovation
Balcony updates are needed and planned in the renovation

12. Features of the ‘fan’ Concept
Overall Chancel area is approximately 1000 sq ft
Seating capacity is estimated to be 287 people (20” spacing)
The layout accommodates 7-8 rows of pews and chairs
Note the middle pews are slightly angled
First two rows are projected to be chairs
Chairs are utilized at the front to provide flexibility when needed
Create more space for weddings, funerals, dramas, musicals
Updated lighting and sound system
Entry would be approximately 19ft wide x 8 ft high
The doors could be mostly if not all glass, allowing a view into the sanctuary from the hallway
Creates more of a ‘community feel’ when worshipping
