Parishville Hopkinton High School - Panorama Yearbook (Parishville, NY)

OUR BUILDING PROGRAM In the first issue of the Panorama” the school history brought us up to the present cen- 1 school system. On Tuesday, April 18, 1950, voting on the proposed bond issue of $549,000 s held. This bond issue to cover the cost of both the building and equipment in Hopkinton and the addition in Parishville, was accepted by the district taxpayers by the vote of 45 to 12? Upon the approval of the bond issue by the taxpayers, the architect, Thomas P. Philips f Watertown, began working on the final specifications for the buildings. These specifica- tions were accepted by the State Education Department and sent out. On the 22nd of March, 1951 the bids from various firms were received and opened. The lowest bidders all from Wa- tertown, New York were: Deline Construction Company for the general contract, George Hyde Company! Incorporated, for heating, ventilating, and plumbing, and Barber Electrics, to do oi«otrical work. However, the total of the bids was too high. Although the total was below the bond is- sue about $12,000, it was still necessary for lower bids because there are expenses which must be met for equipment of the buildings. There are also architect fees, insurance and interest on the bond during con- struction, pay for drilling wells, and cost of securing the bond which will guarantee completion of the work if it becomes impossible for the construction company to do so. Representatives of the Board of Education went to Albany and consulted with Dr. Essex, Head of the Division of School Buildings and Grounds. Substitutions and changes were made and presented to the architect and bidders who figured a new estimate because of the changes made. On April 5, 1951, the contractors and architect met with the Board of Education. At this time the new figures were sub- mitted and approved by the Board of Education. Here are some of the figures first submitted by the vari- ous bidders and also of the final estimates. General contract: L. W. Charebois Company bid only on the Parishville building, $363,000; Deline Construction Company bid on both buildings (low), $393,600. , % , Heating, Ventilating, and Plumbing: George Hyde Company, Incorporated, (low) $105,840; Ryan Plumbing and Heating Company, $134,242. Electrical: Barber Electrics (low), $38,247; W. W. Gettys, Fouses Point, $44,000. Total of low bids is $537,687. The final figures submitted were: Deline, $364,145; Hyde, $99,190; Barber, $35,315. The plans and details for a further development in our school system have been completed and in the near future not only people of Parishville will rejoice as they did when the pre- sent building was completed, but also there will be many other taxpayers of the now centra- lized school district of Parishville-Hopkinton-Stockholm and Potsdam who will join in and share the pride of very modern and new educational facilities. The ground for the new building in Hopkinton will be broken in the near future. 5
