North Knox board awards $5.3 million CTE construction contract to Wolf Construction
Summary
The North Knox School Board approved awarding a $5,299,339 contract to Wolf Construction for the district's CTE renovation project, a low bid the presenter said was roughly 10% below expected cost. A pre-construction meeting was scheduled to begin logistics and work is slated to start in mid-December.
The North Knox School Board voted to award the career and technical education renovation contract to Wolf Construction at a low bid of $5,299,339.
Superintendent (speaking as the presenter) told the board that six contractors submitted bids and that the Wolf Construction proposal came in about 10% under district estimates. The presenter said the bid included the alternates the district hoped to include and described the architects' and procurement team's role in producing detailed bid documents that encouraged competitive responses. “They were so detailed that people were able to put in good bids,” the presenter said.
Board members asked procedural questions about next steps; the superintendent said a pre-construction meeting with contractors and subcontractors would be held the following Wednesday to coordinate logistics, and that initial on-site work was expected to begin in mid-December. The board approved the motion to award the contract; the transcript records the motion, a second and that the motion carried.
The contract award covers construction work for the district's CTE renovation project and was presented as including the alternates the district sought. No roll-call vote tally or mover/second names were recorded in the transcript. The board will proceed to pre-construction planning and begin scheduling with contractors.
Next steps: the district will hold the pre-construction meeting, coordinate timelines with Wolf Construction and subcontractors, and return to the board with progress updates as construction commences.
