Board has directed Board of Education to formally request that Duke Power relinquish the <br />site in preparation for making a formal request to the Utilities Commission. <br />There are serious timing issues involved in these attempt to get three phase power to the <br />site. Duke Power officials have indicated that Duke will need 120 days to complete a <br />power extension project with the clack starting only when the School Board has executed <br />an extension and easement agreement/contract. Piedmont Electric can accomplish the <br />extension in 30 days. However, it is unknown how long it might take the Utilities <br />Commission to make a Wiling on the service area change request. The middle school <br />design consultants have indicated that the school building contractors will be looking for <br />monetary compensation for project delays if three phase power is not available to the site <br />in January 2006. One hundred twenty days from October 1, 2005 falls in very late <br />January 2006. <br />If I may provide additional information on these issues, please advise. <br />
