Show Utah Tech Starts Skill Development Training Program Citizens of Utah Valley may benefit from a skill development training project of beginning carpentry students of Utah Technical College at Provo according to Edward Nolton, chairman of the building construction department at Utah Tech. The students, under supervision super-vision of three instructors, have completed 16 small structures-seven storage sheds and nine children's playhouses-which are being offered to the public at sealed bid sale. Bids will be opened on Dec 10 at 2 p.m. The storage sheds may be used for tools or general storage said Mr. Nolton, and three of the playhouses are partioned and can be used for both purposes. The buildings are now on display at two places, on the lawn west of the main Provo campus building, fronting on University Avenue, and at the rented off-campus building which houses the building construction department depar-tment at 225 East 900 South, just north of the Provo Municipal Golf Course. Potential buyers may ikn-spect ikn-spect them and submit a sealed bid, which must at least equal the minimum value to cover materials which will be posted on the structure. The buildings are eight feet by eight feet, or eight by ten feet in size. They are already painted. They have been carefully constructed under the supervision super-vision of instructors Eugene 'Hadfield, Curtis Jaussi and Jim Hill. Buyers may have them delivered to homes by the Utah Tech professional drivers for a nominal fee, said Mr. Nolton. Or, he said, they may be disassembled and then reassembled on the property by Utah Tech students. It is the aim of the college to recover only material costs, said Mr Nolton, with the work of the students being chalked up to training experience. The building department chairman said a cashier's check or money order for 10 percent of the bid must sc-company sc-company the sealed bids. Unsuccessful bidders will be notified and the deposit returned. Bids must be submitted to the office of Reed Allen at the Provo campus of Utah Tech. |
