School construction is surging on both sides of the Columbia River, and one of the latest projects is the new Sifton Elementary School in Vancouver, Washington.

Pence Construction is seeking sub-bids for a range of work involved with construction of a replacement school designed by LSW Architects. A new design template was created especially for Evergreen School District, which has several projects on tap.

Sifton, built in the late 1950s, is one of the district’s oldest schools. The new one will be built on the same property as the existing one. It will remain in use during construction and then be demolished once the new school is completed.

The new facility will increase capacity and eliminate dependence on existing portable classrooms. The construction team will build new classrooms and administrative offices, a kitchen, a gymnasium, sports fields, a playground, parking areas, and separate drop-off areas for buses and passenger vehicles.

Bid package No. 1 consists of demolition, abatement, surveying, earthwork, utilities and structural concrete. The deadline to submit bids is 2 p.m. on April 16.

MacKay Sposito is leading the land use approval process and handling civil engineering design for the project, which has an estimated budget of $38 million.
