4 <br />►s <br />■MY Cabarrus <br />■ FCounty Schools <br />L%Q4 IF <br />The clear choice. <br />To: Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br />From: Tim Lowder <br />Date: June 24, 2015 <br />Re: Funding for Six (6) Additional Classrooms at the New Odell <br />Grades 3 -5 Elementary School <br />The latest demographic student projections reveal a growth rate in and around the Odell <br />attendance zone that is greater than previously projected. The school system wishes to increase <br />the capacity of the Odell Primary School (grades K -2) from 786 to 902 students at no cost and <br />increase the new Odell Elementary School (grades 3 -5) capacity from 792 to 938 students at a <br />cost of $1,315,000. Both schools share the same attendance zone. The additions would be <br />designed and constructed immediately and would not negatively impact the scheduled opening <br />day for the new school. It will be more cost effective to construct the classrooms now, and with <br />no disruption to students, than to wait until after the school is occupied. <br />Cabarrus County Schools would like to request that the BOC approve funding the addition of six <br />(6) classrooms for the new Odell Elementary School at $1,315,000. The breakdown of the funding <br />request is as follows: <br />Architect <br />$ 44,500.00 <br />Engineering <br />7,500.00 <br />Construction <br />1,087,500.00 <br />FF &E <br />63,000.00 <br />Technology <br />31,000.00 <br />Contingency <br />81,500.00 <br />$ 1,315,000.00 <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Power Point (sent to county on June 24) <br />Attachment number 1 <br />G -1 Page 139 <br />
