CISD accepts bids for additions, renovations
ByMABENCTSON
The Baytown Sun
Trustees for Crosby ISD accept-
ed bids for the additions and reno-
vations to Crosby Middle School
for $2,356,270, and for Drew
Intermediate, $2,222,168, at a spe-
ciafcalled meeting of the board on
Thursday.
$ie low bids went to CMS Con-
struction and CLR Architects.
Addition of alternatives' at Cros-
by High School, CMS and Drew
will bring the total contract to
$6^49,544, according to CISD
Superintendent Don Hendrix.
the district has also hired Dal-
Mac Construction to provide a
Construction manager-at-risk, who
Will provide project oversight and
a guaranteed maximum price on
construction.
Because of the lower-than-
expected bids, trustees had the
opportunity to revisit projects that
had! been identified when the dis-
trict’s bond proposal was put
together in 1998.
“When we went through Crosby
High School, Crosby Middle
School and Drew Intermediate,
there were things (identified that)
we would do if we had the
money” Hendrix said. “These
were wish lists that we prioritized,
but we didn’t think we had the
money to include them. For
example, we had put on hold a
renovation of the auditorium.
Now, we can do that.”
The trustees approved the addi-
tion of seven alternative projects at
the high school, six at the middle
school and three at Drew Interme-
diate.
Combined cost of these alterna-
tive projects is $1,871,106.
The board also chose to take
$200,000 from the district’s fund
balance of $5.5 million for addi-
tional alternatives at CHS and
Drew.
“At the high school, we will
install a wood floor instead of tile
in the drill team area so they will
have a dance floor,” said Hendrix.
“Concrete color graphics will be
added in the entry to the gym and
we will modify a couple of science
rooms at the high school at the
request of Becky Lindsey, the sci-
ence department chairman,” Hen-
drix said.
At Drew Intermediate, the addi-
tional alternatives will include the
adding of two faculty restrooms,
100 added bleacher seats in the
Drew gym to accommodate future
growth and the addition of a sound
control panel to improve acoustics
in the band hall.
“Some of these things we want-
ed to do will be cheaper to do now
as part of the construction,” Hen-
drix said

At Crosby High School, alternative projects added to the building pro-
gram include:
• food service renovations and the building of a food court;
• building of a storm sewer at the east end of the existing building;

Baytown city council scheduled to meet Tuesday
Baytown City Council meets at
6:30 p.m. Tuesday in council cham-
bers at Baytown City Hall, 2401
Market Street.
This month’s agenda calls for a
public hearing on a proposed
annexation of 18 acres at the south-
west comer of Garth Road at West
Lynchbuig-Cedar Bayou Road.
In addition, council will request a
notice from the state and schedule a
public hearing on a proposed Texas
Board of Pardons and Paroles
Office at 1307 Texas 146, the old
Felly Junction site. The hearing is
required because the office would
be a correctional or rehabilitative
facility.
Tex-Cal Investments, which is
owned by Alfred J. Antonini, the
federally-indicted landlord of
Woodcreek Village and Taft Circle
apartments, is appealing a denial of
a multi-family housing permit.
Since being denied the permit by
the city’s Urban Standards Review
Board, Woodcreek Village has con-
tinued to operate, although the
majority of units in the complex are
shut down as a result of electrical,
plumbing and building code defi-
ciencies.
