(KMZA)--The Nemaha Central Board of Education has selected the building projects it wants to put out for bids.

During a special meeting Tuesday evening, the Board voted to seek bids for three projects.

The base bid will be for a four-classroom addition that would tie together the district's two school buildings. In addition, the Board will seek alternate bids for the renovation of the high school restrooms and replacement of the hallway flooring along with a greenhouse for the new FFA/Vo-Ag program.

The projects are among six the Board had been considering.

The cost of the classroom addition has been estimated at $1.6 to $1.85 million. The restroom remodeling and flooring replacement has been estimated at $150,000 to $185,000, and the greenhouse at $270,000.

Superintendent Darrel Kohlman told the Board $100,000 in grants and donations have been received so far for the greenhouse project.

The Board is looking at paying for the projects with existing funding through the district's capital outlay, contingency reserve and general funds.

During their June 11th meeting, the Board selected Bern-based AHRS Construction to manage construction services for the building projects.
