Merit Construction (the Construction Manager at Risk) of the New West Knox County High School. Merit has become the low-bid General Contractor on the New Gibbs Elementary School.

The interesting news is where o where is the Athens, TN based Webb & Sons long time low bidder on all Knox County school projects. Is Brickey Elementary complete, yet? They are probably still working on the punch list.

The four competing general contractors for the Gibbs project were:

Merit Construction
Blaine Construction
Johnson & Galyon
Rouse Construction

all Knox County companies. That is a little good news.
