In exchange for this right-of-way, the City proposes to perform the on-site demolition work that will be needed to construct the proposed School Bus Maintenance Facility and the new County satellite facility. Bob Pate, City of Concord Supervisor of Electrical Overhead Operations, reviewed the following proposal from the City to provide the demolition work in lieu of a cash payment: From: Alex Burris [BurrisA@ci.concord.nc.us] Sent: Monday, April 28, 2008 2:15 PM To: Mike Downs Cc: Bob Pate; Dennis Roberts; Bill Seamone Subject: New Bus Garage ROW Mike, Per our conversation, this is a formal request for 50' of ROW adjacent to Duke Power and City of Concord existing ROW across this property, as shown on the map you were provided in the meeting here at the Brown Center. We propose in return for the 50' ROW, demolition/removal of all poles and related materials will be removed at no cost. Included in this proposal will be the relocation of a pole along Union Cemetery Rd for the new entrance. We will also have to install two anchors/guys on the County side of this project, not related to the bus garage site. In this proposal we agree to remove 12 poles per the bus garage plans. However, at this time we would like to propose to remove all poles and equipment on this site to prepare for future County expansion. By removing all poles we would remove 12 poles for the bus garage and another 18 poles for the future development. As requested by the County, we will remove all existing County owned flood lights and all county owned, pole mounted breaker panels. It would be our suggestion to have a representative from the County present during this demolition to reclaim the lights and breaker panels. We are still working on a cost for the demolition and hope to have that to you in the next couple of days. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact myself or Bob Pate. Alex Burris Electrical Engineering Technician City of Concord Electrical Systems Mr. Downs mentioned there is more planning to be done and that several light poles may need to be removed for the right-of-way. He said this proposal, which cuts across school property, may require the installation of a minimum of one light pole, hopefully in one of the existing islands, and that one parking space may be lost. He also mentioned that the proposal has been discussed with and agreed upon by Sam Masters, Cabarrus County Schools.
