District 518 s administration building in Worthington.
WORTHINGTON The District 518 school board voted Tuesday night to award a bid to Hoogendorn Construction to build the planned community education building.
Hoogendorn s bid came in at $12,995,000, with two alternates: including terrazzo floor in some areas for an additional $128,000, and a reduction of $5,000 to refrain from building a temporary road.
The sub-contractor Henning Construction, planning to do the site prep for Hoogendorn, made a few recommendations to consider in case of a wet construction season, including more surge rock on the access road and parking lot and a six-foot deep building pad. If these changes need to be implemented, it will cost an additional estimated $330,650, but the board did not have to decide on these expenses as part of awarding the bid.
