The Jacksonville School District 117 Board of Education voted unanimously on Nov. 19 to accept a $16,070,000 bid from A. M. Wilson & Co. as general contractor for the Murrayville/Woodson Elementary building project. The motion, moved by Mr. Pool and seconded by Mr. Lonergan, passed with a recorded vote of Pool, Lonergan, Leonard, Wilson, Stewart and Beard in favor and no dissent.
The motion approved several alternative subcontractor bids associated with the project, including proposals for door access controls, structured cabling, a pre‑K playground and below‑ground fire suppression. The fire‑suppression alternative was approved provisionally "based upon fire hydrant flow test," as noted in the agenda materials. The board did not alter the base contract amount during the vote and no opposing votes were recorded.
