Bill Cram, Executive Vice President, M. B. Kahn Construction Company, Inc.
addressed the market volatility in respect to the proposed new Hardy Elementary
School project. He stated his firm presented an estimate in April of 2021 of just
over $34,000,000, however, that price has increased due to an increase in steel in
the amount of $2.7 million. He addressed a Guaranteed Maximum Price and
advised that any savings will be returned to the County.
Chairman Grice shared comments from Tom Duerig, a member of the Construction
Manager At-Risk Selection Committee, regarding long term areas that will save
money while producing good performance and contributions to the health and
environment of the County's children and teachers. He stated the Board needs to
act on the contract before the cost increases again.
Supervisor Jefferson asked if the Guaranteed Maximum Price would prevent any
change orders. Mr. Cram responded that with the Guaranteed Maximum Price
contract there is a contingency which should cover any change orders and there
should be no change orders coming back to the Board.
Supervisor Jefferson inquired if the soil has been tested at the existing school
facility. Mr. Cram replied a geotechnical investigation was conducted and that the
engineers had recommended including allowances to run suitable soil tests. There
is adequate cost in the estimate to cover those things.
Supervisor Jefferson asked Mr. Cram to comment on the electrical cost savings. Mr.
Cram responded that the quality of the electrical systems had not been diminished.
It was just looking at more efficient ways of doing things.
Supervisor Acree asked Mr. Cram to confirm that the Guaranteed Maximum Price
is in place so that the County does not end up with litigation in the future. Mr.
Cram confirmed that his firm would provide performance and payment bonds to
protect the County.
Supervisor McCarty inquired if any efficiency studies have been conducted to
determine what the new facility will save in energy costs over the first ten years of
its use. Mr. Cram replied no but offered to investigate what the operating costs
are for the facility in Suffolk which is similar in design and mechanical systems.
Supervisor McCarty inquired if there is a possibility that the costs are so inflated
because the County is a government agency. Mr. Cram replied no because his firm
is seeing the same thing in both the private and public sector. He added that Covid-
19 drove the shutdown of the supply side while the demand side remained strong.
Supervisor McCarty inquired how much was in the continency fund. Mr. Cram
replied 2.5%.
Supervisor Rosie inquired if solar energy had been taken into consideration. Mr.
Cram advised that there is no solar included in the project at this time, but that it
could be considered.
4
Dr. James Thornton, School Superintendent, advised that the schools currently
have an agreement with a solar panel company for the majority of County schools.
Hardy Elementary and Westside Elementary schools were purposely left out
because of them being potentially new projects. Solar can be added on to the
Hardy Elementary School. Supervisor Rosie remarked that he would like to see the
solar agreement.
Because of rising steel prices, Chairman Grice recommended that the Board
conduct a special meeting and not wait for its October 7, 2021 meeting to lock in a
maximum guaranteed price. He asked Mr. Cram to contact County Administrator
Keaton and Dr. Thornton should the price of steel be reduced prior to him returning
to the Board on October 7th so that a special meeting can be called.
Responsive to Supervisor McCarty, Mr. Cram expressed his opinion that the market
is not going to moderate for at least the next year.
Chairman Grice noted that at one time, the County was considering building a new
Hardy Elementary School and a Westside Elementary School. He asked what part
of the plan can be deferred in light of the economy.
Superintendent Thornton remarked that when the prices started to escalate, he
contacted Mr. Cram with the request that a study be conducted on what the
increased costs are going to be for Hardy Elementary School and Westside
Elementary School. He advised that should Westside Elementary School not be
built right away, there will still be more capacity at the elementary level by building
Hardy Elementary School.
The Board took a break and returned to open session.
County Administrator Keaton provided an update relative to the remaining CARES
Act funds and deadlines for the American Rescue Plan Act funding.
COUNTY ATTORNEY'S REPORT
County Attorney Jones advised that the County has received an offer to purchase
approximately two acres of land situated between Cary Street and James Street in
Smithfield.
Supervisor McCarty moved to authorize County Administrator Keaton to execute
the finalized contract and any other documents necessary to move this transaction
to a point where a public hearing can be held on the matter. The motion was
adopted unanimously (5-0) with Supervisors Grice, Rosie, Acree, McCarty and
Jefferson voting in favor and no Supervisors voting against the motion

Its agricultural and forestal lands for the production of food and agricultural
and
forestal products is vital to the public interest and upon the advice of the
agricultural and forestal districts advisory committee and the planning

and after the conduct of a public hearing, and with the concurrence of the
landowners, the board of supervisors of Isle of Wight County does hereby
promulgate the existence of the Longview agricultural district, the Knoxville

established by separate ordinances in accordance with the provisions of the
Code
of Virginia (1950, as amended), as follows:
A. Longview agricultural district established on June 21, 1979 for a period of

C. Proposed Revisions to the Tax on Consumers of Utility Services and Transient
Occupancy Tax
County Attorney Jones advised that the County Attorney's office has conducted a
review of the County's taxation ordinance and proposed a comprehensive
amendment to bring the then existing Ordinance into compliance with the law
which was adopted on May 17, 2018. Prior to the amendments, the Electric Utility
Consumer Tax and the local Natural Gas Utility Consumer Tax provided for a
maximum tax of $200 per month on non-residential customers. Following the
amendments, the caps on non-residential users were deleted. During the
discussion of the amendments, it was stated that none of the amendments would
result in an increase in taxes. No action was taken on the amendments to the Utility
Consumer Tax until June 2021 when the Commissioner of the Revenue was
conducting a review of current tax rates and notified the appropriate utility
providers of the amendment. In August, a commercial manufacturer located in the
County provided notification that they had received an exponentially large, near
catastrophic, local utility tax increase as a result of the implementation of the
Ordinance amendment. He stated if the deletion of the maximum tax levy was the
result of a scrivener's error during the drafting process and not the Board's
intention, the Board could conduct a public hearing to amend the Ordinance and
correct the error. Further, if the amendment was in error, the Board could
authorize a refund to the taxpayer which has paid a tax in excess of the intended
maximum amount of $200, subject to verification by the Commissioner of the
Revenue and himself.
Chairman Grice opened the public hearing and called for persons to speak in favor
of or in opposition to the proposed revisions.
No one appeared and spoke.
Chairman Grice closed the public hearing and called for comments by the Board.
