The day the earth moved in Midd-West School District

Ground broken for $32M high school project

Financing for the project will be done over 20 years, according to Business Manager Lynn Naugle. Phasing for taxes — an increase of about 12 mills — will be paid through reserves, along with some tax increases, she said. However, a phasing of costs for three to four years will lessen the impact for taxpayers, district officials believe.

“It needs to be done,” Knapp said. “I’m excited this board has been willing to step up to the plate and do what needs to be done for the future of the community.”

The school board on April 6 awarded close to $33 million in construction contracts for the high school building project, including general construction, heating, ventilation and air condition, plumbing, electrical, fire protection and food service. Recommended testing and inspection contracts approved by the board totaled close to $380,000, and asbestos abatement work was approved at a cost of about $350,000.

Construction manager for the project is the Quandel Group Inc., of Harrisburg; John Koury, project director; Matthew A. Kodak, project manager; and Jon Robinson, project superintendent. General contractor is IMC Construction Inc., of Malvern.
