The true increment of cost is hard to determine from our position because a company like CP&L could strike bargains.” Thompson’s analysis demonstrates that the probability of an accident occurring at Shearon Harris over the next 30 years is one in 2,000. But residents feel that number poses too great a risk for their health and safety. “We think it’s a mistake to expand those fuel pools out at Shearon Harris,” said Jerry Drake, a retired physician from Chapel Hill and member of the Physicians for Social Responsibility in the Triangle. “The main thing we have to do is quit producing this stuff,” he said. “We have to use energy efficiency, we just scratched the surface on that.” The City Editor can be reached at dtydesk@unc.edu. BOND From Page 1 “We are touching 21 percent of acad emic buildings with significant renova tions,” Rutherford said. Availability of funding determines when the upgrades begin. The sooner funds are appropriated to each project, the sooner construction can get into gear. Rutherford said the bond legislation itself specified a cash flow over six years, and UNC’s Facilities Planning Department had to develop a schedule to see if the availability of funds matched the proposed schedule for the renovation of these buildings. “All projects are important, but it is a matter of scheduling, not priority,” Rutherford said. The construction process begins with a committee composed of a project man ager and faculty members of targeted buildings which solicits proposals from engineers and meets with several firms. Three firms are then chosen based on qualifications and are submitted to the Board ofTrustees in preferred order. But the contractors are publicly bid, and the board is obliged to take the lowest bidder. Rutherford said expectations and expenses influence the process.

Students and faculty will face inconveniences such as classroom changes and blocked-off con struction zones that will begin in 2002 and could span eight years. Rutherford said the key will be to “The construction staging areas are there to protect the public and provide construction with a safe way to renovate the site. ” Anna Wo Project Studio Leader establish effective communication between faculty and students. A Web site currendy in the works will map out proposed project dates and inform students of the changes and spe cific renovations. But Rutherford said two-way commu nication between faculty and contractors is necessary to avoid campus conflicts. Although the construction projects will pose obstacles to students making their way around campus, Rutherford and Wu said such construction areas will be roped off for safety reasons. “The construction staging areas are there to protect the public and provide construction with a safe way to renovate the site,” Wu said. Rutherford said the Pedestrian Safety Committee is active in figuring out the best way for students to navigate around these areas.

Because rewiring sometimes involves underground work, parking problems might result if designated lots are blocked off during construction. Wu said Faculty Chairwoman Sue Estroff is working to diminish future parking problems that likely will result when parts of campus are blocked off for the construction. And the Facilities Planning Department now faces the problem of constructing new buildings to house students while necessary renovations are being made. Wu said new buildings will be con structed before retrofitting can get under way to accommodate students that will be relocated during renovations. “One project is contingent on anoth er,” she said. On the Right Track Although these proposed renovations are still in their infant stages, officials have set ambitious goals for capital improvements. Even with some lingering questions, Wu is optimistic about plans already in the works. “This is the first time we have been able to map out a capital plan - it will have a huge impact.” The University Editor can be reached at udesk@unc.edu.
