NGSC to re-bid middle school renovations

PRINCETON — A low bid of about $14.91 million for a wide-ranging package of renovations to Princeton Community Middle School won't leave enough money left from North Gibson's original $40 million bond issue to see a must-do parking lot project completed, so trustees Thursday rejected that bid and plan to re-advertise with multiple alternate projects.Superintendent Eric Goggins told school board members in Thursday's special meeting that Danco Construction's $14.97 million bid (with a deduct option) was the lowest of three submitted, with a nearly $15.29 million bid as the highest.The projects include HVAC work in the middle school gym and renovations to the auditorium, as well as classroom upgrades.Goggins said the bids came in significantly over the projected budget for the projects.The original $40 million bond issue, with interest, gave the school district abut $43.1 million to fund capital projects across the learning campus and at Gil Hodges Field.
