A total of four (4) bids were received, with the highest bidder at $788,000.00 the average at $631,889.50. The work was designed by Fuller & D’Angelo Architects and was estimated to be approximately $500,000.00.

The apparent low bidder, Naber Electric, miscalculated the bid amounts and was permitted to withdraw their bid.
