Lee College administrators this week will -,
review the school’s approximate $600,000 in
hurricane damages to determine where
emergency repairs are necessary
In an emergency meeting Monday, regents
asked President Robert Cloud to determine
, which damages legally qualify for immediate
repair without formal bidding.
Under state law, public schools, colleges
and universities may bypass formal bidding
when damages “would prevent or substantial-
ly impair toe conduct of clases or other essen-
tial school activities.”
Regents decided on Aug. 29 to invote the
law to authorize administrators to forego for-
mal bidding.
Under that law, about 90 percent of the
damages qualify for emergency repair,
estimated Jim Bond, insurance agent for Lee
College.
Cloud ha$ emphasized that the $600,000
damage estimate i$ a tentative figure and that
insurance estimate are not complete.
Purchasing Coordinator Kyle Jennings has
estimated that repairs are most needed for ex-
tensive roof damage at Moler Hall, toe library
and the gymnasium and swimming pool
