The Fort Dodge Community School District board Monday approved plans for its Fort Dodge Senior High roof replacement project.
"The project is going to be just over $300,000 at estimated cost at this point, until it goes to bid," Travis Filloon, FDCSD director of buildings and grounds, said.
Bids for the project are due to the district's central administration office by Feb. 24 at 10 a.m. A pre-bid meeting will be held Thursday at 10 a.m., according to consulting architect Terry Allers, of Allers Associates Architects of Fort Dodge.
Board President Stuart Cochrane asked Allers what sort of response the district can expect.
"As far as numbers of people, last time we had about three or four," Allers said. "Hopefully, we'll have that many again."
The project will address three of the senior high's 26 roof sections, Filloon said, specifically the roof sections over the building's math classrooms.
"This puts us close to having addressed all of those roof sections," he said. "I think we'll have four remaining at this point."
He added, "It ensures we've got a sound and trustworthy roof over the heads at the high school, to keep the interior educational process moving in a positive direction."
A rubber-roof system will be installed, Allers said, and the existing roof will be torn down to the deck.
"It's over a metal deck this time, so we won't have the problems with the gypsum deck we've had in the past. It should go well," he said. "We'll also put on new insulation down."

Chinese dama (middle-aged housewives) can become the world's model energy savers if only they spend less time at the kitchen stove.
A survey has found that, on average, Chinese homes spend as much as 4.5 times the amount of energy on cooking meals as German or British homes, or about 2.5 times the amount used in French homes.
Preparing stir-fry dishes with high-temperature oil or boiling meat overnight uses far more energy than merely mixing salads and reheating packaged food in micro-waves, the survey by Beijing's Renmin University of China concluded.
Each stove in the kitchen of a Chinese home is used on average more than two times a day and for 32 minutes on average each time, the survey found.
More than 70 percent of electric cookers and more than half of microwave ovens are used at least once a day in China, according to the survey.
However, in overall terms, homes in developed countries still consume more energy than those in China.
Cooking ranks next to heating in China's home energy use, according to the survey, which was aimed at finding out the amount of energy used in an average home for cooking, heating, cooling and other purposes.
Wang Xiao'ou, 43, a working mother in Beijing, said: "The survey is reasonable. The pace of city life is fast, and we don't have time to spend hours cooking porridge and soup like our mothers did. But I usually still spend an hour on cooking each day."
Chinese homes spent about 327 kilograms of standard coal equivalent on cooking in 2010.

San Diego, California (PRWEB) February 09, 2015
Remodel Works Bath and Kitchen is a San Diego-based design-build firm that has been serving San Diego community members for over thirty years. Remodel Works has long been known for their quality bathroom and kitchen remodels but is now going to be placing an equal emphasis on room additions. Remodel Works has successfully expanded dining rooms, added on storage rooms, created new rooms for new family members, and many other projects. While Remodel Works has always done room additions, it hasn't been a primary focus for the company. With growing demand, room additions are becoming increasingly popular for those who want to stay in their current home but are recognizing new needs. Remodel Works is responding to this growing need in the San Diego community by making room additions one of their three primary product offerings along with bathroom remodels and kitchen remodels.
San Diego is a place that people come to from all over the world to raise their families. The San Diego community is full of growing families with changing needs, which is why the remodeling and home improvement industry is in such high demand. For most a house is not just a building they live in, it is a huge part of their lives, a place where their family can grow together and where memories of a lifetime are built. As a family grows and changes, people often turn to moving as an option which can be stressful and expensive. San Diego Room Additions on the other hand, can be a great investment in a home, whether it is adding another bedroom, expanding a living room, adding on a sun room, or even an entertainment room, nothing is out of the realm of possibility. In addition to providing much needed space, a room addition will allow a family to stay in their home and also add value to their home if they decide to sell. In fact, according to the 2015 Remodeling Cost vs. Value Report, California is predicted to see at least 7 projects that will return 100% of an investment. In fact, kitchen remodeling still tops the list as being the best bang for a buck and many kitchen remodels will require a minor room addition in the San Diego region.
With a booming home improvement industry, remodeling firms are plentiful in San Diego but it can be difficult to find a company that is reliable, consistent and provides quality work. Remodel Works Bath and Kitchen has been recognized with awards from Angies List, U.T. San Diego, and many others for their excellence in both customer service and project quality. Room additions are large projects to take on and often require contractors to be in the home anywhere from one to four months. This is often due to the fact that room additions can be quite complex with electric, plumbing, central air conditioning and much more. When choosing a company to come into a home for months at a time and often working alone in a home for extended periods of time, it is important to choose a company that can be trusted. As a family owned and operated company, Remodel Works has an outstanding track record working with families during the remodeling process. Many customers have taken the time to voice their opinion of Remodel Works on various reviewing sites, overall they are overwhelmingly positive. Remodel Works provides customers with a detailed schedule of who, what, when, where, and why. Knowing what is going on in a home will make the entire process much less stressful.
In addition to requiring a time investment, room additions come with a substantial monetary investment. A common issue with home improvement is hidden fees and surprise costs that come up throughout the process, adding thousands of dollars of extra work to the project. What makes Remodel Works different is that they will provide their customers with an upfront, set budget they guarantee will not fluctuate due to hidden fees. Going into a home improvement project, most people have a set budget that they have decided upon; it is important to find a company that will work with a budget not against it. This is very important especially considering the high cost fees that can be incurred for any changes.
Remodel Works Bath & Kitchen has proven their abilities to many San Diegans and have been thought of as the best kept secret of San Diegos home improvement industry for some time. Providing more room additions services is just another way Remodel Works can prove themselves to home owners in the community seeking quality work and consistent customer service. For the last thirty years Remodel Works has created one happy customer after another, having served over 10,000 satisfied San Diego residents, it looks like over the years they are only getting better at their craft. For a room addition of any size or design, Remodel Works Bath and Kitchen seems to be San Diegos choice for making your house a home.

Skanskas commercial development at 66 Queen Square, Bristol, has reached its highest point in the construction process. Todays topping out ceremony marks an important milestone in bringing this new, 61,000sqft (5,667m) landmark office building to the Bristol market.
During the event, George Ferguson, Mayor of Bristol, and Mike Putnam, Skanska UK President and CEO, tightened the last bolts in the steel frame of what will be Skanskas first commercial office development in the UK in recent years.
The event brought together many of Skanskas clients, partner organisations and employees, including representatives from KPMG, which has taken a 15-year lease on 85 per cent of the building. Skanska and KPMG also highlighted their official partner status with Bristol 2015 for the citys year as European Green Capital.

George Ferguson, Mayor of Bristol, commented: This development is an excellent example of what can be achieved when the city and a conscientious business work collaboratively. Bristol will have a great new office space, which makes a positive contribution to the local environment.
Phil Cotton, Bristol Office Senior Partner at KPMG, said: We want to reduce the impact we have on the environment as a business, and our property portfolio plays a leading role in this. The sustainable features at Queen Square will help us to reduce our energy consumption and CO2 emissions, and provide a fantastic environment for our staff in the heart of the city. We are delighted to take one step closer to moving into this iconic building.
Situated in one of Bristols prime business locations, construction of 66 Queen Square will complete in the summer. The grade A office space integrates a grade II listed Georgian terrace with the new building, combining historic elegance with modern, efficient office space and fantastic views over the square.
The building incorporates sustainable features for long-term energy efficiency, including photovoltaic panels, LED lighting and water-saving fittings to meet the BREEAM Excellent standard and an EPC A rating.
An award-winning project before construction has even completed, the office development was crowned BIM Project Application Award winner in the annual British Construction Industry Awards 2014.
Just 9,000sqft (836m) is now available to let, comprising 3,000sqft (279m) on both the ground and fourth floors, in addition to a self-contained 3,000sqft (279m) unit at 72 Queen Square.

Skanska Marks Bristol Development Milestone
NEPTUNE BEACH | Rising property values along with new construction are buoying the Beaches financially, although the need for more and better parking to accommodate growth remains a challenge, said the mayors of the three cities.
Jacksonville Beach Mayor Charlie Latham along with counterparts Carolyn Woods of Atlantic Beach and Harriet Pruette of Neptune Beach discussed their cities accomplishments and the road ahead during an annual joint State of the Beaches program last week hosted by Beaches Watch, a nonprofit nonpartisan citizen advocacy organization. Eighty-one people packed the community room at the Beaches branch library in Neptune Beach for the program.
Latham noted USA Today named Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach and Neptune Beach among the best and most accessible beach communities to vacation in Florida. Fernandina Beach in Nassau County also made that list published Jan. 30.
That popularity and attention translates into more people wanting to live at and visit the Beaches. The mayors say that is good news, but it also increases parking demand, pretty much limited year-round, and on infrastructure.
While parking may be the big issue, Jacksonville Beach and Neptune Beach also will undertake major road and sewage projects including a large swath of First Street in both communities.
Property values in Jacksonville Beach have increased 7.9 percent in the last year. That leads any other Florida city north of Orlando, Latham said of his city, the largest of the three Beaches municipalities.
Increased property values generate more revenue, which can be used for public works projects and other improvements, he said. So were making good decisions. Were growing responsibly and were a desirable place to be, he said. When you make it a really nice place to be, people want to come.
Latham said city staff constantly review ordinances or policies that might restrict businesses as part of its effort to attract and retain businesses. He emphasized any changes first would have to be OKd by the Jacksonville Beach City Council before being implemented.
Among issues being examined are ways to alleviate parking woes in the downtown business district. One possibility the city is looking at would be to reduce the number of parking spaces a restaurant is required to have at its site, Latham said.
Right now, there is a certain number of spaces that each restaurant is required to provide, or pay into the [city] parking fund, and that has somewhat of a limiting factor to new businesses that enter the market, he said.
