CHAPTER 714

HOUSE BILL 823

 

AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE CHARLOTTE-MECKLENBURG BOARD OF EDUCATION TO ENTER INTO CERTAIN CONTRACTS WITHOUT COMPLYING WITH THE PROVISIONS OF CHAPTER 133 AND OF ARTICLE 8 OF CHAPTER 143 OF THE GENERAL STATUTES.

 

Whereas, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education needs to provide school buildings to house up to 2000 elementary school pupils; and

Whereas, this need must be met as soon as possible for the school year, beginning in September, 1971; and

Whereas, at a future time it may be necessary to move such new school buildings in whole or in part from the original to a new site; and

Whereas, it is believed this need can best and more economically be met by the purchase of relocatable or prefabricated buildings or components; Now, therefore,

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

 

Section 1.  The Charlotte-Mecklenburg, Union County and the Winston-Salem/Forsyth Boards of Education shall have authority during calendar years 1971 and 1972 to enter into purchase and/or construction contracts for relocatable or prefabricated school buildings or components without complying with the provisions of Chapter 133 of the General Statutes and without complying with those provisions of Article 8 of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes requiring separate specifications and bidding for the classes of work enumerated in Section 143-128 except that portion of the work which must be performed at the construction site.

Sec. 2.  All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 3.  This act shall become effective upon its ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 1st day of July, 1971.
