Prepared by: Lisa Keto Prepared On: 8/26/25 Dut.pdf DUTCHESS COMMUNITY COLLEGE To: From: Subject: Date: MEMORANDUM Susan Serino, Dutchess County Executive Dennis Dintino, Vice President for Finance and Administration Capital Project Resolution - FF&E and Technology Replacements and Upgrades August 26, 2025 Dutchess Community College is requesting a resolution be presented for legislative approval for FF&E and Technology Replacements and Upgrades. The project is being requested at this time in order to meet the SUNY Capital Request deadline for inclusion in the NYS Budget Appropriations for 2026-2027. SUNY requires the resolutions before December 15, 2025. This project provides funding for the acquisition of classroom and office technology equipment, laboratory equipment, furniture campus wide (including office furniture, desks, tables and chairs) and plant operations equipment including trucks, mowers, and other operations equipment). Increasingly, the power of a DCC education relies on our ability to offer students an education that provides skills that will serve them well in employment and more advance learning, experiences that will complement learning and hone pathways that prepare them for in-demand and well-paying jobs, and offer credentials that demonstrate to employers, baccalaureate and other institutions their readiness for certain career and learning pathways. Modern technology and spaces are essential to enhance pedagogy. To ensure the DCC's physical assets are up-to- date, the ongoing investment in technology, laboratory facilities, maintenance and replacement of classroom and office furniture and plant operations equipment is crucial. Up-to-date furniture, equipment, and facilities make the college more modern and attractive to students, which is a significant factor in the enrollment decisions families make. In the current competitive higher education environment, it is not enough to offer the lowest tuition in our sector, we must be able to compete on multiple levels, including facilities. The ability to address these FF&E, technology replacements and upgrades will improve DCC's competitive advantage in recruiting more of local college-age prospects, thereby address an important performance objective to grow and retain more local talent to support economic and workforce development. The total estimated cost of the project is $500,000. The sponsor share of the project, $250,000, will be funded through the College's Capital Chargeback Funds.
