ORANGE COUNTY CpMMISSIONERS <br /> 106 Easr Aviamu sr LANE <br /> .LSBOROVGH, N. O. <br /> . 27278 <br /> ===KOs <br /> C!4 JOHN HAHTWELL <br /> SHH{LEY E.MARSHALL <br /> DON WrLLNOfT <br /> - <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Board of Commissioners <br /> Kenneth R. Thompson <br /> FROM: Shirl <br /> DATE: January 5, 1987 <br /> RE: Capital Building Discussions <br /> Jim Gibson and I had a long-awaited meeting this morning; <br /> the subject proved timely . <br /> He now <br /> constructs buildings swith a new ptype of modular s construction. that <br /> Highlights of this construction are: <br /> (1) modular sections made of concrete and steel; <br /> (2) built in 1/3 expected time of stick-built (at approxi- <br /> mately same cost) ; <br /> (3) some modules or all of a building are truly movable; <br /> (4) can build as many as 3 stories. <br /> I <br /> Stanback have asked Jimd gtotake a quick look at the Northside and <br /> possible adaptations to those sites, quick and dirty scoping of <br /> I have also asked him to meet with Ken, the Superintendents <br /> of Schools and a CHIC representative to hear his presentation and <br /> see his slides. <br /> After that, unless there has emerged some critical reason <br /> not to investigate further, I would think a presentation to the <br /> Board -- at a regular Board meeting -- be held. I should like <br /> that presentation to occur no later than our 17 February meeting. <br /> Finally, and this is the CONFIDENTIAL PART, Systems Craft, <br /> Inc. has no building anywhere in this area to show what can be <br /> done; in addition they are anxious to serve the public sector. <br /> Should we be the first government in this area to contract with <br /> them, we might expect an agreeable price. <br /> Thank you. <br /> cc: Jim Gibson <br /> Attachment <br />
