Show Approve Jr. High Construction By TOM BUSSELBERG FARMINGTON - School construction projects are always al-ways in the offing, somewhere in the county, and this summer is no exception. THE BOARD of education has approved a 13-classroom addition to North Layton Junior High School by the Salt Lake City firm of Lawrence Construction for $840,048. Coming in at nearly $100,000 below Architect Richardson Associates estimate, completion comple-tion is pegged for June 30, 1984. Eighteen bidders competed for the project that included an "excellent list" of bidders, with a high bid of nearly $1.3 million topping the list. Lawrence Lawr-ence Construction was the contractor for the district's F-3 facility at the Freeport Center, as well, Building and Grounds Director Dean Penrod says. AT ONLY about $64,600 a classroom, Asst. Supt. Gayle Stevenson called the bidding "very favorable." Also announced was appointment of the same Salt Lake architectural firm to prepare pre-pare plans for an addition of a media center and an unspecified unspeci-fied number of classrooms at Centerville Junior High School. THE ADDITION would go onto the east side while the media center would be built in a central location. Asst. Supt. John S. White says. The board also heard a request re-quest from Verlin Christensen asking further review of busing for students in the Sunrise Subdivision in Clinton, claiming claim-ing the route reviewed by the bus transportation committee was not useable in the winter. PREVIOUSLY, he said students stu-dents have been bused but under the new guidelines, those students won't have a bus. The committee rated a dirt road in the 1300 N. area with the Clinton City Council sending a letter to the school board "about concerns (with students) walking that road." He said students walk along 1300 N. to 1000 W. on to Holt Elementary School at 10th W. 3rd N. because the other dirt road can "ruin snow equipment" equip-ment" and is muddy, making it impossible for vehicles to get through in the winter months.
