The Rainy River District School Board is planning to seek tenders this week on the new Robert Moore School.
Manager of Plant operations, Raymond Roy says prospective contractors will have about a month to make their submissions. Roy says site preparation continues.
"We've elected to use a strategy known as pre-loading," says Roy. "We've preloaded the site of the new school. This generally that will consolidate the soils. We had two options to do the current pre-load option or go with piles."
Roy says because of the soils, using piles would have driven up the cost of construction significantly. Construction of the school could begin as early as this June.
