The Springfield School District has awarded close to $71 million in contracts as part of Phase One of its master plan to build a new high school, writes Susan Serbin for Springfield Press.

The contracts cover work specific to both the new high school and portions of the stadium at the Saxer Avenue and South Rolling Road corner of the campus.

E.R. Stuebner received $53.3 million for general construction. Boro Construction got $8.4 million for mechanical construction and $6.5 million for electrical work, while Stan-Roch Plumbing received $2.5 million for plumbing work.

“We have had two special Facilities Committee meetings for the review of the bids,” said Kevin Keenan, Chairman of the board’s Facilities Committee. “Choosing the low bid of the qualified bidders, we’ve come in slightly under budget. This is Phase One of four, and we don’t have a shovel in the ground yet, but we are starting out on the right foot.”
