At a special meeting last week, the Gorham School Committee awarded the Narragansett School modular classroom addition site and connector project to DiMatteo Construction Management of South Portland for the amount of $782,000. DiMatteo’s bid was the lowest of the four companies that submitted competitive bids.

“Even with the added roadway and move to the west side of the school, the bids were under the budget estimate,” said Norman Justice, Facilities and Transportation Manager. The amount budgeted for the site and connector in the referendum approved by voters last spring was $1,089,081.

Superintendent Heather Perry and Justice met with Town Council members and Town Manager Ephrem Paraschak before the bid was approved to resolve issues related to changes in the site location and the modular foundation.
