Cutler Bay Middle School – Scope of work includes: 412 new replacement student stations in a three-story building; remodeling of existing administration area into labs; new physical education shelter; resurfacing of play courts; new parent drop-off; renovations of kitchen, cafeteria, and other existing buildings; demolition of portables and site restoration; and technology improvements.
Total project allocation – $14.8 million – Completion – January 2019.
Total Sub-Consultant Small Business Enterprise Participation – 30.84 percent.
Local Workforce Utilization – 25 percent within a 10-mile radius.
Continued fidelity to the implementation of the GOB program and the District’s steady commitment to inclusiveness and diversity in its procurement process are positively impacting the quality of the educational environment and the local economy.
