PCSC School Board Awards Roofing Contracts at a Big Savings Using QSCB (Qualified School Construction Bonds)

At last night's school board meeting Lawmaster Roofing was awarded contracts to install new roofing and to recondition roofing at Jefferson Elementary, Lincoln Junior High, and Plymouth High School. Five roofing contractors submitted bids from a high of $3,140,220 to the low bid by Lawmaster Roofing of $1,930,000. Those bids covered all labor and general materials. Architectural design costs are $11,000.

Each building is a separate project with specific roofing materials to be purchased by the school district using the GSA (Government Services Administration) purchasing list: Jefferson School - $147,338; Lincoln Junior High - $148,502; Plymouth High School - $148,367.

The total cost of the project is $2,385,307, that price compares very favorably with similar school roofing projects:
· Plymouth Community Schools $7.45 per square foot
· South Bend Schools $11.95 per square foot
· Duneland Schools $10.50 per square foot
· Southwest Allen Schools $9.85 per square foot


And the last piece of goods news is that the project has come in at $168,591 under budget!
