Board To Consider Construction Bids

— A special meeting of the Gravette School Board will be held this week to consider and accept bids on a new fieldhouse at the High School campus and a new band and choir complex for the downtown campus.

Bids were opened last week at the office of Nabholz Construction Co., in Rogers, but these bids were still under review before presentation to the board for consideration, according to Dr. Andrea Kelly, superintendent of schools.

Jared Brown, construction manager for the projects, said there was a "good response" in the bidding process which included 32 packets, all involved in the projects.

The review process by Nabholz involves researching the bids to determine if they meet bidding specifications for the two major projects.
