A Public Hearing will be held 5:30-p.m. Wednesday in the Atlantic High School Media Center, with regard to the Plans, Specifications & form of contract for the Atlantic School District’s Athletic Facilities Improvement Project. During the hearing, the Board will receive and consider any comments/objections to the proposed plans, specification or contract for, or cost of the project. Late last month, six general contractors submitted base-bids for the project.

The highest bid came in at $9,741,000 and the low bid was $8,650,000. Some alternative bids were given for a few parts of the project at the Trojan Bowl as well. The opening bids are construction bids only and will have other costs added. School officials said it appears that the project will be able to continue as expected with the lower bids coming within budget.

Following the Public Hearing, the Board will discuss upcoming dates (including the Regular School Board meeting Oct. 11th, School/City Elections, the Annual/Organizational Meeting Nov. 19th, and plans for the last two home football games).

The Board will then act on a Resolution Making the award of contract for the Athletic Facilities Improvement Project.
