ICABARR $COUN I <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM <br /> <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />AUBREY ATTKISSO~ <br /> <br />DIRECTOR EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES <br /> <br />DATE: APRIL 21, 1992 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: COMPLETION - AMBULANCE STATION 2 <br /> <br /> On April 10, 1992, Cabarrus County Emergency Medical <br />Services began operations at the new facility located at 380 <br />N. C. Highway 49 South, across from Central Cabarrus High <br />School. This station is one of the best and most functional <br />in the State of North Carolina. <br /> <br /> The process for this project began November 14, 1991, <br />when the Board approved the contract for building a new <br />ambulance station for $88,255.00. Approximately four weeks <br />later, the garage area for the station was approved along <br />with monies for City and County Building Permits, grading of <br />the lot, water and sewer tap fees, landscaping and <br />furnishings for the station. Total monies appropriated by <br />the Board for this project came to $166,673.25. To date all <br />invoices have been submitted for payment totaling <br />$164,651.57. <br /> <br /> With the economy in a slump and all spending very tight, <br />we tried to be very conservative with the money approved. I <br />personally feel the quality of construction and the overall <br />appearance of the ambulance station (inside and out) is <br />excellent. The citizens of Cabarrus County can be proud of <br />the fact that tax dollars were spent effectively. <br /> <br /> Almost two years ago, when we initially started <br />designing the ambulance station, preliminary bids came in at <br />one half million dollars. After scaling down plans to <br />reflect the same square footage as we have at the new <br />station, we were still looking at over one quarter million <br />dollars. As you can see, by doing the work with a general <br />contractor and by my overseeing the construction, we saved <br />the citizens of Cabarrus County a considerable amount of <br />money. <br /> <br /> Emergency Medical Services <br /> <br />31 Willowbrook Drive - Concord, NC 28027 ,, (704) 786-9193 <br /> <br /> <br />
