contractors requested documents, only two submitted bids and

alternates, analyzing work to be done in the field house under
the third bid package Concern was expressed that the bid amount
is about $72 000 above budget estimate, since the replacement of
the basketball floor was pulled out of the general bid package

in the high school Alternate 1 the gym floor could be rejected
and rebid since it needs to be done only before basketball
season
