us and laboratories
to accommodate 400 high school
students, it includes a spacious
library, a 1500 seat gymnasium
and a multi-purpose foyer, and
administrative offices.
An Olympic swimming pool
adjoining the gymnasium was
included in the original plans,
but was rejected in the voting
on the bond issue last June. The
pool was submitted as a
separate $300,000 issue along
with the $3 million bond issue
for the rest of the project.
A new football stadium to
replace the present field, which
becomes the site for the new
high school building, is included
in the plans, and is already
under construction at Locust
and Cedar. A contract for dirt
work on the stadium site was
let separately last December,
at a cost of about $75,000.
Additions to Baker School
will be built aa an addition to
the seven-classroom wing
constructed in 1969, and will
extend on both sides of that
section of the building along
Cheyenne street.
The original Baker School
building, erected in 1923, will
be retained for auxiliary use;
but a classroom addition and a
separate school cafeteria build-
ing built in 1949 will be razed
when the new structure is
completed.
The bids opened Tuesday
afternoon contained five alter-
nate additions to the base
contract, all of which were
accepted by the board; and two
alternate deductions, neither of
which was included in the final
plan.
Panhandle Engineers bid
$2,100,000 as a base bid, plus
$575,000 for Alternate No. 1
and $145,000 for Alternate No.
2, both additions to the
elementary school building;
$25,000 for Alternate No. 3
(new tennis courts); $86,000 for
Alternate No. 4 (a field house at
the athletic field); and $11,600
for Alternate No. 5 (stadium
chairs for the gymnasium).
The total, including the five
alternates, came to $2,942,600,
and was the bid accepted by the
board.
The board decided not to

deductions specified in the
bidding ($32,500 for terrazo
floors for the high school and
$12,182 for telescoping bleach-
ers in the gymnasium).
Omitting these features would
have cut $44,682 from the
Panhandle Engineers bid.
Decision to accept the low bid
was reached by the board in
less than an hour after the bids
were opened; and the motion to
accept the contract was made
by John Ramp, seconded by
Lynard Schafer, with all
members voting for it.
Board President Ben Math-
ers indicated that the board
was well satisfied with the bids
and the contract, and Architect
Tom Mills was all smiles after
the bids were opened.
The other bids, including the
five alternates, in order were:
Page & Wirtz Construction
Company, $3,060,400.
Ramey Construction Compa-
ny. $3,224,500.
R&G Strickland (contractors
on the County Hospital building
now in progress), $3,284,200.
Wiley Hicks. $3,286,168.
Because of a higher-than-
expected level of property
valuations in the school district,
the board has funds available
for the construction well in
excess of the $3 million from
the bond issue, and was not
faced with a necessity to keep
the contract below the $3
million figure.
