Sherman-Carter-Barnhart has agreed to perform these services for the district at a cost of 3.25 cents per square foot of building space and will exclude from the fee the building spaces of Peaks Mill, Westridge, and Bridgeport.  I estimate the cost to be about $17,500.

Recommended Motion

That the BG-1 for the FCHS structural improvement project be approved

Actions Taken

Motion Passed:  That the BG-1 for the FCHS structural improvement project be approved passed with a motion by Mr. William Cofield and a second by Mr. Larry Perkins.
