Bond Project Updates

Project design updates were presented to the Board of Trustees at their February meeting with a recommendation to approve the design. At the meeting, the project designs that were presented were approved. Construction Documents will be submitted to State Construction in mid-March for review in preparation for bidding on the project in late June with construction beginning in mid-to-late August. A recent construction cost estimate has indicated cost savings of close to $415,000 will be required to stay within the construction budget. College Administration has determined that bidding on the Gee first-floor renovation as well as two additional Main Building classrooms as alternates would allow the project to stay within the construction budget. Should bids come in favorably, the Board can consider adding this scope back into the project.
