The Freehold Regional High School District Board of Education has awarded bids that will provide for partial roof replacements at four district high schools.

At a recent board meeting, bids were approved for the following schools: Howell High School ($1,447,000; USA General Contractors), Manalapan High School ($1,315,000; Pravco Inc.), Colts Neck High School ($584,239; Barrett, E.R.), and Freehold Township High School ($923,500; Pravco Inc.).

District administrators said 40 percent of the cost of each project will be covered by the state through the New Jersey School Development Authority (SDA) Regular Operating District grant program.

In September, the district was awarded multiple SDA grants to assist with projects, including roof replacements. Grants were used for roof replacements at Freehold High School ($1.55 million) and at Marlboro High School ($841,911).

“Marlboro is 98 percent done,” board member Michael Messinger said. “There is still more work to do at Freehold Borough.”

In the current round of bidding for the roof replacement projects, the rejected bids for Howell High School were $1,492,000 (Pravco Inc.); $1,563,000 (Arch-Concept); $2,160,975 (Barrett, E.R.); $2,154,500 (Nolt, D.A); $1,806,800 (Patriot Roofing).
