<br />Budget Amendment - School Engineering and Architect Fees
<br />
<br /> The Board received a letter from Dr. Harold Winkler, County School
<br />Superintendent, stating the Cabarrus Board of Education had approved the
<br />architectural contracts with Martin Boal Anthony and Johnson for an
<br />elementary school and two middle schools. The architect and engineer costs
<br />were estimated to be $1,854,040.00 to Martin Boal Anthony and Johnson
<br />together with owner-direct costs (e.g., offsite survey, offsite engineering,
<br />etc.) of $260,750.00.
<br />
<br /> Mr. Clifton reviewed the proposed appropriation of $1 million for
<br />school engineering and architect fees in addition to the $1 million
<br />previously set aside in January. He explained that the architectural fees
<br />were based on a percentage (approximately 4~ percent) of the estimated
<br />building construction costs for the three schools ($13 million for each of
<br />the two middle schools and $9 million for the elementary school). Also, Mr.
<br />Clifton responded to questions by Ms. Cindy Fertenbaugh, Cabarrus School
<br />Board member, and Mr. Hartsell regarding the $2 million budget allocation and
<br />Dr. Winkler's letter estimating costs at over $2 million. He explained that
<br />some of the estimated owner-direct costs were being absorbed elsewhere and
