Contractor Hired to Plow Up School Farm
- Share via
Plans to replace the aging Costa Mesa High School farm with much-needed athletic fields cleared another hurdle Monday when the City Council agreed to pay a contractor $91,364 to demolish a building, fencing, pens and other leftovers from former agriculture classes.
Environmental Control Systems Inc., based in the Inland Empire community of Quail Valley, also will remove asbestos and lead-based paint.
The company was the lowest bidder.
Plans for the 18-acre site include six soccer fields, which the council wants completed by September 1998.
Citing a shortage of fields for youth sports, the council last year approved more than $7 million to buy the farm from the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.
