JCSD1 Board Accepts Bid for BHS Ag Shop Expansion

During their meeting Monday, the Board of Trustees for Johnson County School District One accepted a bid for the ag shop expansion project at Buffalo High School.

The lowest bidder on the project was S&S Builders of Gillette, whose bid on the project was $345,000.

Trustee Rich Hall said S&S Builders was a good choice for the project.

Along with architect fees of $37,500 the total cost of the project will be $379,500 which is slightly higher than the engineer’s estimate.

The engineer’s estimated cost of the project was $300,000 with professional architects fees of $37,500.

The current shop is too small for the number of students, projects, and programs and the limited space has become a safety issue.

The project will expand the shop and bring the entire building up to current code.
