State Fair Community College has released architectural drawings of proposed dormitories, agriculture and a transportation center.
On Jan. 4, the SFCC Board of Directors approved a $13 million bid for construction of new dormitories during a special meeting.
Keith Acuff, vice president of operations, introduced the board of directors to Wade Horn, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Professional Contractors and Engineers (PCE), 5900-C, North Tower, Columbia.
Horn told the board that his company has been in business since 1989 and has done construction work for other universities in the area, most recently opening a new office at Lake of the Ozarks where apartments are being built.
Horn said his company is currently making security upgrades at seven Sedalia District 200 schools.
He pointed out that 11 local contractors were involved in the construction of the new dormitories at SFCC.
“We do our due diligence, we reach out, we like to use local contractors … and Rob (Rollins) helps us, so it works out well,” Horn told the board.
The board subsequently accepted PCE’s base bid of $13,667,000.
“You won’t be disappointed with these guys,” Rollins told the board, adding that some of them have been working together for more than 20 years. Rollings said the college will acquire the dormitory program for about $259 per square foot. “That’s a good, solid number from a good, solid company.”
He added that he would be in weekly contact with the board during construction.
SFCC President Dr. Brent Bates said there are currently no plans to hold a formal groundbreaking ceremony.
