US (IL): Mt. Vernon Township High School bids out greenhouse
Bids are being sought for the dirt work, concrete, and construction of the new facility, not for the technology. The technology portion — which includes phones, intercoms, clocks, bells and security cameras — will be bid out separately later.
The project involves constructing a 72-by-30-foot greenhouse and a 30-by-50-foot attached headhouse, which is the work center of the facility.
Cost estimates for the greenhouse have risen over time. Initially, the cost was thought to be roughly $225,000, but then the estimate increased to about $300,000, mainly due to engineering, architectural and dirt-work expenses. The exact cost, though, won't be clear until bids are received.
