The bid will be advertised twice, beginning next week and again in March. The bid will open on April 5 and will hopefully conclude its process in time for the WKCCD regular Board meeting in May. Bids that come in will have the option to opt for alternative options in the plan, to accommodate possible cost increases from when the plan was first drawn about four years ago.Thecurrent contractor market is affected by our local oil industry recession. Currently, the contractors who typically bid at the lower contract rates are not as active. Also, the scope of the Student Center project places this job in a higher level of contractor expertise. Costs for this bid will be watched closely.After the selected bid is Board approved, the contractor has 30-45 days to prepare for construction onset. The insurance, permit, and planning will be done during that mobilization period. The first steps will include staging and the beginning steps to demolish the current facilities.<\/li>\n
