Box 8181 Hillsborough, NC 27278 Dear Mr. Link and County Commissioner Members: (919) 732-8126 Telephone (919) 732-8120 Fax www.orange.lcl2.nc.us lrr preparation for the joint mee$ing of the Board of County Commissioners, the Orange County Schools' Board of Education and the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools' Board of Education, I submit the following update on the two items scheduled on the agenda. Update on Orange County Schools' Middle School #3 The groundbreaking occurred on November 30, 2004. The project was bid in two parts: (1) Early Site- worlc Package, with bids opened October 12, 2004; and (2) Building Construction Package, with bids opened December 7, 2004. The Pre-Construction Conference was conducted on February 14, 2005, which was attended by all project managers and field superintendents for each contractor on the project. All contractor bonds have been received. The Eazly Site-work phase of the project was completed on March 24, 2005, one week ahead of the originally scheduled completion date.. The general contractor for the Building Construction Phase of the project, J.H. Allen, began work on March 28, 2005. The building pad and panting lots have been staked- out, and foundation rebaz has been set and concrete poured. Additionally, the entire project is balanced between the school site and the soccer complex, which means that no additional fill material was required. Weekly coordination meetings (with school district and county representation present) have been held on-site since the start of the Early Site-work phase and will continue until the project is completed. Currently, there are three pending issues in various states of resolution: 1) the driveway locations for the school and soccer complex require NCDOT approval in order to meet sight-distance requirements; 2) the projected completion date for the sewer/water project is August 2006; and 3) the path for the Duke Pawer transmission lines into the site requires an adjustment, which the school district nor the county is responsible for financing.
