By Jackie Gorski-
On April 12, Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation received 15 bids for 10 bid categories for the Tippecanoe Valley High School renovations and addition project, Conley said.
Project administration and construction management services company The Skillman Corporation met with each of the contractors and reviewed each bid, he said. The lowest bid for each of the 10 categories total $21,656,265.
The low bids were Brown & Brown, $6,915,000; Ziolkowski Construction, $2,518,450; Amos Exteriors Inc., $1,666,085; Oosterbann & Sons Co., $457,075; Jack Laurie Floors Inc., $375,400; Shambaugh & Son LP, $1,315,500; Core Mechanical, $1,175,687; Quality Plumbing and Heating, $6,400,000; and Kissinger Electric, $2,008,755.
“In reviewing these results with the construction manager and architect, I’m recommending that all bids are rejected,” he said.
Conley said the school corporation will continue to review the scope of the work and schedule and rebid the project at a later bid.
“Like we said, we won’t have a tax increase, and we’re going to stick to our guns and spend the tax payers’ money wisely,” said Board President Tom Bauters.
