Board awards Bunn site construction package

YOUNGSTOWN — The city school board is anxious to get the new Paul C. Bunn Elementary School built.

The board awarded an “early site/foundation” construction package this week to Kreidler   Construction Co. of Poland, less than a week after holding groundbreaking ceremonies.

Kreidler was the lowest of six bidders on the project which will prepare the Boardman Township school site for actual construction of the $9.5 million building.   The plan is to have the new school built and open for pupils in the fall of 2008.

Bunn is the 11th of 14 schools being replaced or remodeled under the district’s $192 million rebuilding program.
