AN ACT TO ASSIST THE JOHNSTON COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION WITH THE EXPEDITING OF PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 8 of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes, the Johnston County Board of Education may select and negotiate with separate-prime contractors to build the Unitary System Approach (USA) model school plan if the Johnston County Board of Education determines that using the selection and negotiations processes instead of competitive bidding will expedite the project, create an effective construction team, and control costs, quality, and schedule.
Section 2.  This act shall apply to the construction of only two of the following schools: Riverwood Elementary School in the Clayton area, Riverwood Middle School in the Clayton area, West Johnston Elementary School, North East Elementary School, Four Oaks Middle School, and Smithfield Elementary School.  The Johnston County Board of Education shall report to the General Assembly the net price per square foot for each project at the completion of each project.
Section 3.  This act is effective when it becomes law and shall expire on June 30, 2003.
