will be no shortage of bidders for the new elementary school to be constructed
in the Seventh Ward which is to be known as the Margarethe Schurz School, it
was indicated today following an announcement at last night’s meeting of the
Board of Education that eight general contractors have thus far qualified for
filing bids which are to be opened at 8 p.m. on April 10. In addition to the eight general contractors,
there are ten mechanical contractors who have
qualified. These represent either
heating or plumbing concerns or both.
There also are five electrical contractors who have qualified. “If all of these contractors file bids, as
now expected, we should have quite a field from which to choose the most
favorable bidders,” a spokesman for the board said last night. “We will not have a shortage of bidders as
was the case on the high school addition project when the field of bidders was
very limited.”
