Award of a $46,458 contract for construction of a temporary movable school on the Navajo Indian Reservation at Inscription House, Arizona, was announced today by the Department of the Interior.
The school, designed to accommodate 60 pupils, is intended to test whether the Inscription House location, 130 miles northeast of Flagstaff, will have sufficient school population to warrant the installation of permanent school facilities later. The temporary facilities will include eight units of the house trailer type, four metal buildings, four gas storage tanks, gravel roads, concrete work, and utility services.
The successful bidder was Taylor and Medley Construction Company, Albuquerque, N. Mex. Six higher bids were received ranging from $62,913 to $79,870.
