DISPUTE RESOLUTION FOR CONSTRUCTION AND REPAIR
CONTRACTS |
7261 |
|
The Wake County Board of
Education establishes this dispute resolution system to facilitate the prompt
and fair resolution of disputes with amounts in controversy in excess of
$15,000 arising between or among any parties involved in the school system's
construction and repair projects (including the school system, the architect,
the construction manager, the contractors, and the first‑tier and lower‑tier
subcontractors) on claims arising out of the contract or construction process
in accordance with N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143‑128(g). The Board strives to
resolve disputes without animosity between or among parties. To this end, the
Board believes that an architect's review followed by mediation as necessary
or desired shall be preconditions to litigation of any dispute covered by
this policy. In no event shall the Board be subject to arbitration proceedings
pursuant to this policy. The superintendent or his designee shall adopt
regulations to implement this policy. |
