A previously approved District Five Year Plan provides for renovation of the kitchen at Riverhills Elementary School.  District staff selected Cooper Johnson Smith Architects, Inc. and R.W. Tymewell, Inc. from the approved Continuing Services Consultants list to provide design and construction management services.  The renovation and remodeling of the existing kitchen expands the kitchen and provides a new dry storage area; replaces selected kitchen equipment and the kitchen hood; improves the serving line configuration; provides new lighting, paint and flooring; and renovates the electrical and plumbing systems. Project completion is scheduled for August 2012.

Approval of the Design Development Phase will allow the architect to proceed with construction documents.

Total funds in the amount of $440,000 are included in the District Capital Outlay: Local Millage.  The estimate of probable cost is $439,968.
