(Submitted Photo)
NORWICH – DCMO BOCES announced on Thursday that students will build modular homes in the area to give students experience for competitive bids.
Two bids will open on September 20, one bid for the Chenango Campus site will open at 3 p.m. and the other bid for Harrold Campus site will open at 4 p.m.
According to DCMO BOCES Public and School Liaison Martha Ryan, for a small donation per square footage as well as the cost of all building materials, students from Carpentry and Building Construction Program will build a custom home to the winning bidder’s plans and specifications.
"Owners can design their dream home with custom finishes," said Ryan. "Modular homes are built at the Norwich campus located at 6678 Ct Rd 32 in Norwich and the Harrold Campus at 270 BOCES Drive, Sidney Center."
She said upon completion, the homeowner coordinates the transfer, setup, and site compliance.
"This is a great way for our students to gain experience in their fields," said Ryan. "We hope that people take advantage of this opportunity."
To participate in the building opportunity, the house must be ranch style and no larger than 1,500 square feet for the exterior dimensions.
"Bidders must submit their bid on time, with a valid line of credit at a bank or local lumber store and provide a simple diagram of the house layout," said Ryan. "The bidder offering the highest donation per square footage will be awarded the contract after the BOCES verifies the bid documents to ensure all bid requirements have been met."
She said the average bids range from $1 to $2 per square foot. She added that DCMO BOCES has been building houses since 1990.
BOCES Career and Technical Education Director, Jenn Waite said, “This project is a cornerstone of our Carpentry and Building Construction Program providing practical work experience for our students."
"Students gain real-world work experience as they build each custom modular home from the ground up while interacting with the homeowner to practice valuable customer service skills," said Waite. “Experienced instructors oversee each stage of the construction process, each house is continually inspected by code enforcement representatives who clear and approve critical electrical, plumbing and structural elements.”
Interested individuals are invited to bid on a 2019-03 Chenango Campus project and the 2019-04 for Harrold Campus.
