SCHOOLS: New WJCC Pre-K Centers Planning Moves Forward
Two new facilities at Clara Byrd Baker and Norge Elementary Schools will each provide 18 classrooms, kitchens and playgrounds
Time is almost up for contractors hoping to land the job of building two new Pre-K centers for Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools. Bids for the project are due by 2:00 p.m. on July 14, and only electronic submissions through DemandStar will be accepted.
The school division plans to add new early childhood facilities at Clara Byrd Baker and Norge Elementary Schools, with each site getting an 18-classroom building complete with multipurpose rooms, administrative space, kitchens, and playgrounds. Together, the two centers will total over 82,000 square feet.
Once the bid window closes, school officials will begin evaluating proposals. They’ll be looking closely at several factors—not just price. Experience with similar school projects, the qualifications of subcontractors, references, and overall completeness of the bid package will all play a role in the selection process.
The chosen contractor will handle everything from grading and utility installation to roofing, security systems, and indoor finishes. WJCC is expected to make a final selection soon after bids are reviewed.
