High School Bids High
The bids for the construe
tion-of the new Koiiak High
School and Gymnasium were
received by the Alaska Public
Works Board and there were
only two submitted, those of j
Sarn Bergesen $879,877, and]
Pacific Alaska Contractors |
$867,998.
The APW Board thought the
bids were too high as a top
figure of $7f 5,000 had origin
ally been set as the maximum
cost of the construction. It
was recommended by the
Board that rebidding be
opened in January after the
construction picture in Alaska
is a little brighter.
