Dr. Register said the ADA regulations are really enforced in
building a building like this. This adds a lot of expense.
MOTION from Commissioner Madison to deny the letter of intent
or send it back for re -bidding to bring it under bid. If they
think it will be too high, then they need to go back and redraw it.
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on
mine, he said.
Commissioner Stewart inquired of Commissioner Madison in
negotiating the bids, if it is going to require eliminating
classroom space, is Commissioner Madison in favor of this?
Commissioner Stewart inquired of Dr. Register about the state
requirements on the space, where do they see they will be able to
cut back? Dr. Register said state approval is required, and he
doesn't think they will get approval for any less space than is in
the administrative area already.
There was a discussion about the Troutman Middle School.
William Barnard said about $1.3 million will be available for
Troutman Middle School. Their estimate now is for about $1.6
million, he said. There is where the $305,000 request originated.
Commissioner Boone mAde a substitute MOTION for Commissioner
Madison's MOTION, stating that the County should sign a letter of
intent for $5,677,839 for the Lake Norman Elementary School
building project. He said he would like to save as much as
possible without compromising the quality of the building.
Commissioner Stewart asked Dr. Register if he would look at
the type of construction for the exterior using the block without
the brick and see how much can be saved and let the commissioners
have some kind of preview of how it would look doing that.
Dr. Register said he would be glad to. He pointed out the
other thing is that the off-site utility price is estimated and
that is the one remaining unknown. It will be six to eight weeks
before they bid the utilities.

ROOF AT WEST MIDDLE SCHOOL: Mr. Mashburn presented two
proposals for the roof estimate for West Middle School. one
proposal was from MTBV for $750 and CTL for $1300. Mr. Mashburn
recommended MTBV, the low bidder. Commissioner Boone said he had
a problem with the budgeting of this project. He thought it should
come out of the $1.5 million for maintenance projects for the
schools.
Commissioner Johnson shared some information he received
regarding EPA regulations for asbestos removal, which may save some
money. He was concerned with why the school system waited so long
to re -roof this building.
Dr. Register said there was $368,000 in roofing projects in
the annual capital improvements funds this year. This project for
West Iredell is in addition to this, but it had been pulled out
separately because it is a major project with the roof replacement
and the air conditioning units. Because of the bid climate,
Register thinks it might be better to bid it in the fall or next
winter after the heat is cut off.
Mr. Mashburn said he had investigated the MTBV company and
felt comfortable with it and he had told them to come ahead and do
the estimate.
Commissioner Boone said he thought they were going to have to
