Dirt Bid Delay

The architect informed us today that the final test results on the core drills will not be completed in time to allow the bidders ample time to make a complete judgment on the shrink, swell and compaction capacity of the soil. It will be necessary to delay opening the bids on the dirt work for one week from March, 14 to March, 21. It is in the school's and bidder's best interest to have an accurate assessment of the subsoil structure before bidding. We want bids to be based on the actual soil that we have, not what they would have to assume is there.
