Revisions need to be made to the Hempfield Senior High renovation project as bids for the project came in over-budget.
The Trib reports that at a public meeting Wednesday afternoon, architects from SitelogIQ told the Hempfield Area School Board said the project bids came in millions over budget, The architects estimated that the project in its current form would cost the district around $150 million, or $148 million with accepted alternates. That’s a jump of $16 million to $18 million from the $132 million price tag that was predicted at a June town hall meeting. SitelogIQ construction representative Mike Arnold said the swimming pool package and general construction portion of the package created the largest cost increases.
At a school board meeting Monday, the board will vote on rejecting the current bids, and the project could be moved to next Spring.
