Construction News
At the March 8, 2021 meeting, the Logan Elm Board of Education received an update on the PK-12 project from Tim Williams, Superintendent, and Andy Rodgers, Summit Construction.  The update included:

  • Utility Pipeline began the installation of the pipeline that will bring gas to the property. The estimated time to complete this project is six weeks.
  • Summit Construction is accepting bids for an early site package and the steel package for the project. Superintendent Williams and Mr. Rodgers expressed their concern with the cost of steel. They are both hoping to receive favorable bids for this part of the project but have concerns with the current steel market.

  • Summit Construction has a list of Pre-Qualified Contractors that will accept bids on each phase of the project. If companies are interested in being on the list, they should e-mail Mike Mendenhall, Owners Rep for Logan Elm Local School District at: mendenhallmcs@gmail.com
