FARMINGTON — School board directors voted unanimously Tuesday to award the contract to build a new kindergarten-through-third-grade school to an Auburn firm for a bid of nearly $10.5 million, Assistant Superintendent Sue Pratt said Wednesday.
The board accepted the bid from H.E. Callahan Construction Co. and the filed sub-bids of four sub-contractors for various parts of the job. There were nine bids received for general contractor to build the new school at the Mallett School site, she said.
The bid price of $10,498,800 includes a base bid and several alternates for construction possibilities of nearly $450,000.
The sub-contractors approved for the project are RJ Enterprises of Brunswick for hazardous material and disposal; Warren Mechanical of Westbrook for plumbing, heating and ventilation systems; Don’s Electric of Monmouth for electrical, electronic safety and security; and E.L. Vining and Son of Farmington for site work.
The state is funding the majority of the nearly $20 million project, which is scheduled to begin this year.
