Bids in on Eastern Guilford
Guilford County Schools opened bids today on phase one of the combined site work for the pod village and new high school. I should know tomorrow who turned out to be the lowest bidder. Barnhill Contracting Co. is the construction manager at risk. On Thursday, the school board will vote to approve the site work contract and the guaranteed maximum price for the new Eastern. The "GMP" is the the most the district will pay to have the school built; anything more than that is a loss for Barnhill. I'm not sure if Barnhill could pocket the difference if the construction costs less than the GMP, but it's possible. Stay tuned...
