The Department of Public Works announced that the Simon Sanchez High School project is moving forward through two separate procurement processes, but neither demolition nor construction has officially begun.
Under the first procurement process, Public Works has completed its part of the bidding process for demolishing the existing Simon Sanchez High School Campus, and the Office of the Attorney General has reviewed and cleared the demolition bid documents. However, Public Works is still waiting for GDOE to authorize the architect, TRMA, to finish the remaining work and release the documents needed. Once GDOE accepts, Public Works says it is ready to advertise the demolition bidding and move forward.
For the second procurement and the construction of the new school, Public Works has completed preparing the request for proposals for the school’s construction through a public-private partnership. The proposal package still needs final review by the Attorney General's Office before it is issued. Public Works plans to turn over the procurement package to the incoming administration for consideration and implementation.
