Building Committee Monthly Briefing / 建堂委員會進度報告 ～ 2016-07-17

1. Building Development Committee (BDC) / 建堂委員會：

上月，建堂委員會不斷致電列治文市政府城市規劃署查詢有關環境敏感區開發許可證 (ESA DP) 申請的批核情況，其後於六月廿七日接獲列治文市政府合共八頁長的回覆。 內容主要包括索取有關地段及建築物更詳盡的資料、澄清一些申請內容、收取在Beckwith Road舖設公共設施費用的報價等等。 建堂委員會開會後立刻與總會，建築師，工程師及律師等有關人仕聯絡，並著手處理。 祈望於七月底回覆列治文市政府。
Last month, BDC had been calling the COR regarding the application status of Environmentally Sensitive Area Development Permit (ESADP) and had finally received an eight-page letter reply on Jun 27.  The letter requested extra detailed information for the relevant lot and future building; clarification on some application details, and their quotation of the public utility construction fees on Beckwith Road, and etc. After the BDC meeting, BDC had then contacted BCMBC, the Architect, Engineers, Lawyer, and all related parties to handle the relevant subject matter, aiming to revert COR by the end of July.

 2. Project Schedule Update / 項目進度更新：

2.1 結構工程師已經開始了地基設計。 機械工程師及電機工程師的人選基本上已落實，而土木工程師仍然在甄選中。Structural engineers has started the foundation design. The candidates for mechanical engineer and electrical engineer have been confirmed, but the selection of civil engineer is still in progress.

2.2 因應市政府的回信，建築工程預計會出現相當之延誤；建築費用亦因在 Beckwith Road 舖設公共設施而無可避免地超支。 實際完工日期大約於所有許可證批出後的第八個月。
In response to COR's letter , construction progress certainly will be delayed; because of the  unexpected public utility construction fee, our construction budget will be overrun inevitably. Therefore, the actual completion date will be approximately eight months after all permits has been granted.

Building Committee Monthly Briefing (June) 建堂委員會進度報告 (六月)

Building Committee Monthly Briefing - June // 建堂委員會進度報告 ～ 六月

1. Building Development Committee (BDC) is still waiting for the revised Church Exterior Drawing from Architect. 建堂委員會仍然等候建築師呈交修改後的教會外觀設計圖。

2. Project Schedule Update // 項目進度更新

a. Still waiting for City of Richmond (COR) to approve our Environmentally Sensitive Area
Development Permit (ESADP) application, which had been submitted at the end of last year. BDC
had inquired David Brown (COR Planner who is in charge of our permit application) and he replied
that our application has been circulating in the Engineering and Traffic Control Department for
comment. Few month ago, Engineering Department raised their concern about the water flow and
required us to submit engineer report for that. COR received our engineering report for this and
review it together with their capital project ( water main upgrade in the area). According to David,
up to this moment, he doesn't have any feedback from these two Departments.

去年底已向列治文市政府呈交環境敏感區開發許可證 (ESA DP) 申請，批核仍然進行中。建 堂委員會致電列治文市府城市規劃主管 Mr. David Brown 查詢，他回覆說我們的申請已於數 月前交往工程拓展部及交通控制部傳閱索取意見。 之後，工程拓展部向我們提出用水流量的 提問並要求我們的工程師提交有關資料。及後，他們將我們數月前所呈交的工程師報告加入 整體發展項目中（提升該區供水設施）一起考慮。 截至目前為止，仍未收到這兩部門的回 覆。

b. Thanks to our Lord who listen to our prayers , we have assigned a Structural Engineer for our project. Employment of Mechanical and Electrical Engineers are anticipated to finalize by the end of this month. We are still waiting for the ESA DP approval from City of Richmond(COR), once we acquire the ESA DP, we will submit our Building Permit (BP) to the City of Richmond (COR). Certain delay is expected in this stage, expected completion date would be approximately 8 months after issue of ESA DP.

感謝神垂聽禱告，結構工程師已經落實聘任、而機械工程師及電機工程師的人選亦可於本月 底落實。 建堂委員會仍然等候環境敏感區開發許可證 (ESADP) 的批出，一旦許可證批出， 會立刻申請建築許可證 (BP)。 建築工程預計會出現延遲，若一切順利，實際完工日期約於許 可證批出後的第八個月。

Prayer Walk Signup

We want to encourage brothers/sisters to sign up for prayer walk for the building project.  Here are the details:

WHY?	Prayer walking is the practice of praying on location, a type of intercessory prayer that involves walking to or near a particular place while praying. Being close to the community and the people there allows us to “pray nearer to pray clearer" - just as Jesus experienced in Matthew 9.36: "When He saw the crowds, He had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd."
WHO?	Group of friends, by small groups, or by ministry teams (deacons, praise team, greeters)
WHERE?	The site (9251 Beckwith), neighbours (residential, casino, skytrain), and/or City of Richmond
WHEN?	Every 2nd Saturday/Sunday or 4th Saturday/Sunday of the month
WHAT?	Simply pray for the places/people. Or you can use the updates @ Building Blog.				http://rpgmbcbuilding.blogspot.ca/
QUESTIONS?	Contact Pastor Will / william.hui@rpgmbc.org

How?

You can sign up on the sheet from Brittany.  Or here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10UBUINrmzk2QxeR6D0QY_d12F7jshwutpfFLuA9j-_M/edit?usp=sharing
