2. Mid-State Construction has mobilized and started their demolition of the west side bleachers and wall.

Board Update March 18, 2013

  The board approved a motion to award the bid for Memorial Field West Side Bleacher Project to low bidder, Mid-State Construction, Inc., in the amount of $2,255,000 along with Alternate 1 ($2,437) and Alternate 2 ($89,650) as presented. (Board document)

 

The total renovation project bid includes the original base bid of $2.25 million, which will replace the bleachers, wall and fencing along the entire west side of the stadium. It will also add ADA seating and access to the bleacher assembly, and the first alternate ($2,437) which substitutes the specified concrete sidewalk along Fraser Street with a brick sidewalk. In addition, the second alternate ($89,650) was also approved, adding a second drainage pipe from Fraser Street to the sinkhole. The new design moves water to the sinkhole more quickly.

 

The Board approved the request for permission to bid the West Side Bleacher Project for Memorial Field. Document
