_ <br />i <br />ART Cabarrus <br />`County Schools <br />TO: Cabarrus County Commissioners <br />FROM: Cabarrus County Board of Education <br />RE: Request for Funding for Odell Elementary <br />DATE: February 9, 2015 <br />The Board of Education is requesting $839,500 to construct an access from Highway 73 <br />to the school. This request was discussed on Monday, February 2, 2015 and was <br />approved at the Board of Education meeting on Monday, February 9, 2015. <br />Background: Construction of a new grades 3 — 5 elementary school is underway on the `old Odell <br />campus ". Separate from this project is the construction of an access from Hwy 73 to the school. <br />Previously, the NCDOT asked CCS to investigate and pursue a roundabout near the western edge <br />of our property at Hwy 73. It was determined this solution was cost prohibitive and the roundabout <br />may have been located too close to the Odell School Road intersection. A solution appears to be <br />at hand where an access road will intersect Hwy 73 (option 1) at 1,500 feet from the Odell School <br />Road intersection or (option 2) at approximately 1,200 feet from the intersection. Both are off our <br />property. Our driveway would connect to this access road. Additionally, the City of Concord has <br />provided site review comments that incorporate the options above plus add sidewalk and <br />curb /gutter on the school site at various locations. These items increase the storm drainage <br />requirements. The engineer's estimate to construct all items is $839,500 (total project cost). This <br />scope of work has not been funded. <br />Thank you for considering this request. Please let me know if you need any additional <br />information that may influence your decision to approve funding. <br />Attachment number 1 <br />G -3 Page 175 <br />
