(KMZA)--Work is set to begin on the 2nd phase of improvements at the Marysville Junior-Senior High School as part of a $26.4 million bond issue approved by district patrons in November 2015.
That follows action taken during a special USD 364 Board of Education meeting Wednesday afternoon.
Superintendent Bill Mullins says the Board accepted the low bid submitted by Sampson Construction, of Lincoln, Nebraska in the amount of $14.2 million for the phase 2 improvements.
It was among five bids received and was 11 percent under what the project's architect had estimated.
Mullins says Board also approved a contract with Terracon to provide construction observation and materials testing services for phase 2.
He says the project is scheduled for 420 calendar days and should be completed by the end of March 2018.
The 2nd phase will include the construction of a new activities center, refurbished classrooms for art and special education, bathroom renovations, a new fire sprinkler system along with other improvements.
The 1st phase of the bond project, which included improvements at both the Marysville Elementary School and Junior-Senior High School was completed last month.
