The South Plains College Board of Regents approved bids for construction on the Communications Building and renovations on Texan Dome during their February meeting. Construction manager Jim McCutchin presented the bids for the Communications Building to the Board. He presented contractors who had the best bid and were capable of doing the job well. He said that having the contractors compete with bids saved the college money without compromising quality. Local contractors will do more than 30 percent of the work required, according to McCutchin, which is the most on any project for the college. According to Mike Box, president of the SPC Board of Regents, McCutchin was able to save the college $ 70,000. Box thanked McCutchin on behalf of the Board for the work he had done. “We appreciate you,” Box said to McCutchin. “You know the people and how to do the job,” said Box. Construction on the Communications Building will cost an estimated amount of $578,000. Bids for the renovations on Texan Dome are not complete, but the Board approved some amounting to $1.1 million. Dr. Kelvin Sharp, president of SPC, estimates that the overall bid will be $1.5 million. Renovations will include a new roof and replacement of the windows, which will help insulate the Dome and improve utility bills. There will also be improvement in the lighting and sound system.
