Columbia College Bid - Under by 13%

Columbia College Child Development Center bid came in under budget by 13%!

The two lowest bids were only $5,000 apart, with the lowest coming from Bobo Construction at $5,584,000. The center consists of five residential type buildings and outdoor learning areas, located in a rural area of the Sierra Foothills. Paul Roberts & Partners, Inc. was meticulous in detailing not only environmentally friendly products, but products that create a higher standard of healthy environments for children. As a result of the low bid, several items are now being included that had been listed as additive alternates as a result of value engineering. These include elaborate outdoor playscapes, an entrance gazebo, decorative fencing and gates, and engineered stone countertops.

The project is registered at the LEED Gold Level.
