The Pullman School Board met Wednesday afternoon to accept a bid to expand on the Jefferson Elementary School.
Superintendent Paul Sturm said the Pullman School Board bid in February for contractor bids to expand Jefferson elementary by either two or four classrooms, with an estimated total cost of more than $1.2 million.
“We had five bidders and they were within a reasonable range of each other,” Sturm said.
He said once they worked on seeing what the process would look like with each, they realized they were short on their initial estimates.
“The bid came in $200,000 over the anticipated budget,” Sturm said.
He said that they would transfer that amount from the general funds to the capital projects fund and that would be awarded to the company they chose for the bid, NNAC Construction.
“We have a timeline, we hope to open these four classrooms in the fall,” Sturm said.
