CHESHIRE, CT – A local construction company has been awarded a $697,000 contract to upgrade locker rooms at Cheshire High School.
The Town Council voted 7-2 Tuesday to award the contract to Diversity Construction Group, located at 531 Cortland Circle. The company beat out five other construction firms whose bids ranged from a high of $978,000 to $760,000, which was the next lowest bid to the winning one.
Diversity Construction has done work on variety of projects, including the Buley Library at Southern Connecticut State University and Winton Memorial Library in Manchester.
The winning bid leaves about $50,000 left over for any contingencies that might develop with the project.
Two Democratic councilors, Patti Flynn-Harris and Peter Talbot, voted against the winning bid. Flynn-Harris said her vote was consistent with her previous opposition to locker room renovation proposals.
