School board gets high bid for preschool project

At the Monday meeting of the Clarion-Goldfield-Dows Board of Education, the group discussed bids for the preschool renovation project. When Kids Korner Daycare moves out of the elementary, the district plans to renovate the space to accommodate classrooms to expand the preschool. According to ISG engineer, Nathan Compton, the project was estimated at around $950,000. There was only one bid for the project from Sande Construction at about $1.4 million. Compton said the mechanical/electrical part came in substantially over their estimate.
