Eight developers submitted pitches to build two Knox County middle
schools – one in the Gibbs community and the other in the Hardin Valley
area.
The bids, called requests for proposals, were due noon Tuesday.
The
county is seeking a “design-build team” that would construct and
deliver on a ‘turn key’ basis the two schools, meaning both would be
ready for students on opening day without county involvement.
“I’m
very happy we received such a high level of interest from the private
sector in building these schools,” said Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett.
“This amount of competition will help ensure that both the Gibbs and
Hardin Valley middle schools are built to the highest quality, while
also saving taxpayers’ money. I look forward to seeing construction
begin sometime in the coming year.”
