SCCC Board of Trustees Approves College Facilities Projects from Ceiling to Floor

Building fascia at the Industrial Tech campus will be replaced by a local vendor and low bidder French Construction of Liberal at a cost of $222,444.25. The project will replace worn and damaged battens, fascia, and soffits repaint gutters, downspouts, and roof flashings, as well as the sides of some buildings.

Brown’s Furniture of Liberal will replace the carpeting in the agriculture building. The company submitted the lowest bid of $9,447.03 and will remove worn carpeting and replace the base layer and new carpet.
