The Park Rapids School Board on Monday received a quick update on “Project 309,” the school district’s ongoing suite of facility improvement projects.
ICS Project Engineer Austin May reported construction documents for the high school additions and improvements are complete, and ICS is working on a cost estimate and front-end specifications for the project.
Also, May said, construction documents are 75% complete for the parking, pickup and drop-off area at Century School and in progress for the new bus garage, while design development documents are 75% done for the Century School renovations.
He reminded the school board that bid openings are scheduled Jan. 24, 2023 for the high school project, Feb. 7 for the bus garage and Feb. 14 for the Century pickup and drop-off zone, with construction to start in the summer.
