Architectural Service Contract Awarded

The Rainy River District School board has awarded North Bay-firm Evans, Bertrand, Hill, Wheeler Architecture a contract for architectural services for renovation of the Education Centre and eventual demolition of the Robert Moore School.

The 164-thousand dollar offer was not the lowest bid, but Superintendent of Finance Laura Mills says the firm ranked hire in criteria the board was looking for.

"Evans, Bertrand, Hill, Wheeler received significantly hirer ratings in project management, cost control and practice mythology," says Hill. "These are things that we're actually scored higher by us. We weighted them higher because they were important to us."

Renovation of the education centre is expected to start in September 2010 with the school being demolished in 2011.
