PRESS RELEASE <br /> <br />March 5, 1999 <br />2:00 PM <br /> <br />Chakman, Cabarms County School Board, Ms. Chris Lee <br />Chairman, Cabarrus County Commission, Mr. JeffBarnhart <br /> <br />County Commission Chairman, left Barnhart and School Board Chairman, Chris Lee <br />announced today that they will offer a proposal to their respective boards to employ the <br />services of a construction management consulting finn to review the plans and specifications <br />for the new county high school now under design. <br /> <br />The purpose of the review will be to provide additional evaluation of design, functionality and <br />value engineering for this important project. The consultant employed by the County <br />Commission would work closely with school system administrators and county staff to assure <br />that anticipated construction costs are accurate and reflective of today's construction <br />environment. It also would add an outside perspective of various 'value-engineering' options <br />that might aid in any final decisions. <br /> <br />Ms. Lee and Mr. Barnhart stated that they are committed to working together in fulfilling their <br />roles in providing for the educational needs of the community. They said that it is their belief <br />that all of the elected officials want what is best for the children in this community, as well as, <br />the taxpayers. They believe that the two boards will move forward together in trying to <br />provide quality schools in a cost-effective way. The 'value-engineering' options and plan <br />evaluation that they are requesting is just another step to ensure that they are all making the <br />best decisions possible." <br /> <br /> <br />
