A Hart environmental consultant is expected to attend the council meeting scheduled for 4 p.m. in the Century Room at City Hall. Officials of the Hart district and the city are working jointly to develop a portion of the Golden Valley Road to provide access to the school site. The city would pay $13 million for road work near the school site, while the Hart District would pay $11.6 million for road work on school property. The council is scheduled to award the construction contract a week from today. Seven builders have submitted bids ranging from $15.9 million to $19.5 million. City officials delayed awarding the contract in recent months until toxic control officials studied the school site further.
