Forward Project Update: December 15 - “Bids Accepted!”
This past week, the bid packages that we received at the beginning of December were shared with Emanuel’s membership and reviewed by our leadership. More than fifty people attended an open forum in which the final scope of the project was presented along with the bid pricing from our general contractor and subcontractors. We are on schedule and under budget. The response has been very positive. It’s time to begin. Bid packages were presented to the Emanuel Coordinating Council, which authorized our Trustees to initiate contracts for construction to begin the week of April 1. In the coming weeks, we’ll be scheduling a number of volunteer work days, allowing us to complete several self-work tasks before contract construction begins.
A summary of our project scope and pricing is available in the narthex. There’s also a great deal more information available online: www.emanuelnl.org/forward
