LAKEWOOD – The Lakewood School District Board of Directors approved the general contractor bid for the new Lakewood High School of Allied Construction Associates, Inc. on March 2.
The base bid at almost $48.5 million was the apparent lowest of seven bids submitted. The new school will replace the existing high school, which opened in 1983.
Superintendent Michael Mack said Allied has a record of quality construction work.
The new school will be built just to the south of the existing school. It will open for the September start for the 2017 school year. The old school will be demolished and replaced with a new soccer filed and tennis courts.
District residents approved a bond issue for the new school project in April of 2014.
