480 Chairman Bonds requested that the Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission submit six names for consideration of the Board at the regular meeting on February 16, 1981, for the appointment of the four members from Cabarrus County to the Cabarrus-Rowan Park Commission. Mr. William Morgan, County Ranger, introduced Mr. Scott Franzak, Cabarrus County Assistant County Ranger, to the Board and reviewed the work which Mr. Franzak will be performing. Maintenance garage bid proposals as recorded in the minutes of January 5, 1981 were again reviewed by the Board. Mr. Ted Nordman of Architectural Planning & Associates informed the Board that officials of Philip Morris, Inc., had agreed to the potential hook up by the County to the Philip Morris sewer line for the disposal of waste from the maintenance garage facility. According to Mr. Nordman, the cost for such a hook up with pump station would be approximately $12,000.00. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Nash, seconded by Commissioner Cook and unanimously carried, the Board authorized Mr. Ted Nordman to pursue this avenue of approach to tie into the forced sewer line of Philip Morris rather than installing a septic tank system for the maintenance garage. Mr. Ted Nordman also informed the Board that he had met with the contractors submitting the low bids for the construction of the maintenance garage regarding all items of possible deduction from the facility. He reported that with the approval of his recommended changes, the project base bids were as follows: BASE BID General $.82,838.00 Plumbing $ 4,480.06 Mechanical $ 5,464.00 Electrical $ 8,875.00 TOTAL $101,657.06 After reviewing the proposed changes recommended by Mr. Nordman, the Board approved the addition of 24-gauge painted steel panels in the amount of $1,241.00 as originally specified and the addition of $212.00 for the 2 pounds per square foot for hardener in the floor slab as specified in the original plans. Furthermore, the Board agreed to set aside $2,500.00 as a contingency fund to cover possible removal of rock below the surface at the construction site. Ail other deductions were approved as recommended by Mr. Nordman for a total cost of construction in the amount of $128,640.00, including architect's fee and a proposed sewer hook up with the Philip Morris line. UPON MOTION of Commissioner Cook, seconded by Commissioner Lentz with Commissioners Cook, Lentz, and Nash and Chairman Bonds voting for and Commissioner Payne voting against, the Board authorized the awarding of contracts for construction of the maintenance garage at the total cost of $116,640.00 to the low bidders for base bid to A. L. Jarrell & Sons (General), Steele Electrical (Electrical), Kannapolis Service Company (Plumbing), and Jones Heating & Air Conditioning (Mechanical), and deferred action on the sewage disposal system until a later date. The Board appropriated $16,640.00 from the one-cent sales tax revenue for the construction of the maintenance garage in addition to the $100,000.00 presently budgeted for this facility. Dr. Joseph Fries, Superintendent of Cabarrus County Schools, addressed the Board regarding school district lines and the possible effect that the annexation of certain areas by the City of Concord would have on schools in the County. Mr. Sherman Mayne appeared before the Board to complain of a situation he had encountered with the County Building Inspection Department regarding the return of long distance calls by County employees to residents in the outlying areas of the county. Chairman Bonds requested that Commissioner Lentz, liaison with the Building Inspection Department, work with that department in developing a policy for returning long distance telephone calls within the county. Chairman Bonds requested the County Manager to report to the Board the policy of long distance telephone calls within the county for all County departments. Mr. Sherman Mayne also addressed the Board regarding the expense of a regional sewage plant.
