Colchester school board clears six firms to bid on Union Memorial School work
Summary
The Colchester School District Board of Education approved a pre-qualified roster of six general contractors who may bid on Union Memorial School renovations; the board did not select a contractor at the Feb. 3 meeting and voted unanimously to allow bidding.
The Colchester School District Board of Education on Feb. 3 approved a pre-qualified list of six general contractors to submit bids for the upcoming Union Memorial School (UMS) project. Director Laurie Kigonya moved to approve the list and allow the firms to bid; the motion passed unanimously.
Board materials list the six firms that meet the district’s pre-approved criteria: D.E.W. Construction Company; Engelberth Construction, Inc.; PC Construction Company; ReArch Construction; The Whiting-Turner Construction Company; and Wright & Morrissey, Inc. The board’s action at the Feb. 3 meeting authorized the district to accept competitive bids from those companies but did not award a contract.
The pre-qualification follows criteria the board adopted April 15, 2025, to ensure bidders have school construction experience and meet district standards. District officials said the UMS project will move to a formal bidding phase with the pre-qualified companies invited to submit proposals; no bid deadlines or award dates were specified in the meeting record.
The board’s vote was procedural and limited to allowing the six companies to participate in bidding. The next formal procurement steps and any contract award will be publicly posted when available.
