We have been working on getting the outdoor classroom constructed this summer. But due to a lot of rain and building happening in Rochester we have not been able to secure a reasonable bid for the concrete work. We are talking to many contactors and adjusting the plan based on comments from the bidders. If you know anyone that works with concrete and wants to bid on this job please have them contact Jim Sonju (jasonju@rochester.k12.mn.us)
The good news to report is the steel work for the tables and seating is now down to $7800, which seems reasonable. Davis Woodscapes in on board for the wood work. We are looking at an all-weather plywood for the tops/seating, which would be more economical than going with a solid board and with a poly coating would be impervious to the weather.
