The $252K base bid from Ellsworth Construction was recommended (and approved under new business below). It was noted that asphalt prices had not dropped as dramatically as oil prices because asphalt manufactures purchase oil products far in advance. THe construction budget covers the basic parking/travel areas at both sites but not enough for an alternate bid for expanded asphalt at the high school near the baseball parking area. All of the high school slabs have been poured now and walls should start up soon. Demolition will begin in the existing HS gym after basketball season concludes. Wood for upper elementary gym floor should arrive soon.

* Anticipate about $80K to rennovate Wilson Elementary for 6th graders and alternative students next year ... including plumbing

* Just for comparison (by floor tile counts) the new HS commons (59x88) will be notably larger than the MS commons (56x74).
* Still exploring cost effective ottions for sound system at the two CHS gyms and commons. The existing system (~4 years old) still works fine.
