The SCASD Board of School Directors Abandoned the High School Facilities Project at the May 21, 2007 Board Meeting
In
their first regular board meeting since the public bid opening for the
high school project produced bids roughly $17 million over the
projected budget, the board evaluated and discussed the possibilities
for next steps. Those scenarios ranged from accepting all bids and
proceeding with the project to rejecting the bids and abandoning the
project. Given the large cost overage, and reports from the
professionals indicating that significantly reducing the budget was
unlikely without considerable re-design, the board moved and voted 8-0
to reject the bids and abandon the project.
