HR Schools Find Bids High For Construction Projects

The Hood River County School District is finding bids from contractors for major projects approved by voters in a 2016 bond measure to be coming in higher than estimated.  Superintendent Dan Goldman says with a booming construction economy in the Portland area, contractors have plenty of work available, increasing the bids.  Goldman says bids on the May Street Elementary School rebuild are ten percent higher than expected.  He says that project will get done, but it may mean some additional efforts that the district had hoped to undertake might not occur.  The district is helped by having realized more money than had been projected from the bond sale, and receiving four-and-a-half million dollars in state matching funds.
