June 18, 2007 (Regular Meeting) Page 477 Chairman Carruth identified a number of construction delays the project has already experienced. Vice Chairman Juba pointed out she was not on the Board when some of these decisions were made. She also reported having an architect on site fulltime is standard practice for large-scale, complicated projects. However, she further reported the extra onsite visits are excessive and stated the need to get the project completed on time and within budget. Mr. Bonsall responded to additional questions from the Board and a ' lengthy, general discussion on the following topics was held: what is a site visit, what is aproject meeting, what takes place in those kinds of meetings, what is the difference in the two meetings, was the firm present for site visits and project meetings, etc. Vice Chairman Juba commented on the need to have architectural services during the last six months of the project. She also stated the need to negotiate and discuss the matter further. Chairman Carruth suggested the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Mr. Ware and a representative from Turner Construction meet, and come up with an alternative. Chairman Carruth asked Scott Milligan with Turner Construction for his opinion on a realistic number of on site visits from an architect. Mr. Milligan reported Turner is accustomed to having the architect on site at least four times a month, which has worked out well. He further reported the number of visits can fluctuate depending on the type of work being done. Chairman Carruth reminded everyone that Cabarrus County certainly did not want what happened at the Kansas City Hilton to happen here. He reported a tie rod was installed incorrectly which caused a collapse of a walkway. He commented there must be checks and balances, check points along the way to make sure the project is done right. Vice Chairman Juba reiterated the need for discussion and collaboration to determine the architect's involvement.

Mr. Stark offered to provide the County with $75,000 worth of manholes for county projects in lieu of the $64,000 voluntary mitigation payment to ' advance school adequacy.
