ROCE'S -STATUS REPmtT ON THE SCHODInS Kenneth R. Thompson made reference to the Law Engineering roof study and the priority list and indicated the repair program wi1J. take place over a two--year period. A corx7ition of the supplemental appropriations to both school systems in December, 19$~ was that the specifications include certain bidding requirements and general condition clauses to insure quality workmanship and contractor ac~untability. Also, it was understood that the school systems would work toward the development of a consolidated request for proposals in an attempt to receive a lower wst. The Orange County School System has finished its specifications and the Chapel Hill School System will have its specifications finished within the next few days. Both sets of specifications will go out for bid at the same time. Commissioner Lloyd expressed concern for severing the schools' authority stating that unless both school systems agreed on the process he was against requesting and accepting a combined bid on the project. Thompson noted that a separate contract will be awarded for each school system with a definite time schedule for completion of the project and a sign--off before payments are made. Commissioner Marshall noted the responsibility is clearly laid on the Board, through the General Asse~ly, to make funding for the schools available and particularly for func]irg maintenance and capital improvements. This process would see that the roofs are repaired in an economical manner which will not upset the authority of the schools. Commissioner Lloyd read from the County Ggy_e_rnment 4f Noxth Caxolina which stated it is the County CaaWnissioners' responsibility to levy taxes to fund the schools which are under the control of their respective Boards. The School Boards are responsible for directing arr7 supervising the public schools in each unit. Chair Willhoit stated that the Foard, which reviews the school budgets and determines how the money is to be spent, has not indicated that the roof contract will be approved or disapproved. There may be a savings if the projects for both school systems could be bid as one contract. mere will be rl........ I'al L.: a... .. c.... „~..i, .rti..+nl ..e•-am ~rvi nnc mml-.i ncrY hirl GThcn hhw
