Moorhead School Board approves bids for additions to Robert Asp, Probstfield

MOORHEAD Two of the citys elementary schools will have more room this fall.

The Moorhead School Board voted 7-0 Monday to approve bids on classroom and gymnasium expansions for Robert Asp Elementary and the Probstfield Center for Education.

The combined bids for the projects came in about $97,000 under estimates, interim Assistant Superintendent Jeremy Larson said.

The work at Robert Asp will cost $2,372,611, or about $29,000 more than the $2,343,583 estimate.

Robert Asp will gain 10,889 square feet with the addition of a gymnasium, athletic storage and office, bathrooms, kindergarten room and resource room.

The work at Probstfield will cost $4,678,373, or about $126,000 less than the estimate of $4,804,534.

Probstfield will gain 21,394 square feet of space with the addition of a gymnasium, eight kindergarten rooms, athletic storage and office, two resource rooms and bathrooms. Another 998 square feet will come with the construction of a corridor to tie the addition into the rest of the school.

The work is part of an ambitious set of construction projects to prepare the district to handle nearly 700 more students expected in the next five years.

Work on an 11,000 square-foot addition to S.G. Reinertson Elementary will be bid next year with construction expected to start next spring.
