Bids in for Community Center
Nine bids were submitted April 10 for the construction of the Community Center building. They were as follows: Associated Contractors $996,901; Campbell Construction $967,000; Lee George Const. $959,000; Master Builders $997,700; McCrea Co. $934,000; Mid-Tex of Midland $947,600; Pharr & Co. $1,020,254; J.C. Roberts Const. $967,777; and N.C. Sturgeon $839,868.
Since even the lowest bid is $87,000 over the construction budget of $753,000, the Glasscock County Commissioners’ Court will apparently either take the low bid and work with the architect and contractor to make enough cuts to bring the project into budget, or have the architect re-draw the plans to less expensive specifications and re-bid the project.
Architect Gary Vandergriff will study the bids, then make his recommendations to the court at a special at 9 a.m. April 17, at which time the court will decide on a course of action. All court meetings are open to the public.
