The new school project is to replace the school that burned down in January 2009. This was the 2nd school to burn down in Kalskag in 14 years. The project bid as design/build with a not to exceed guaranteed maximum price. 
ASRC SKW Eskimos worked with the both the architect and owner to complete the design while keeping the costs under the GMP.
This was a fast track project. We were able to install the owner supplied piling in 2009, which greatly increased our chances of finishing the project by December 2010.
Construction is a structural steel frame on steel helical piling, enclosed with structural insulated panels under metal siding, with both EPDM and metal roofing. Floor structure is 1-1/8 ply over metal decking with 3 areas of concrete, the shower/bathroom area, the kitchen and the mechanical/shop area. The mechanical and shop was designed to be in a separate building, as both previous schools were destroyed by fires starting in either the mechanical room or shop area. The school also has a sprinkler system, which the previous schools did not.
Due to non-existent housing accommodations, a deal was made with one of the local tribal entities to redo and remodel the community center building which has been vacant, unfinished and without heat or electrical service for over 20 years. This required the removal of all existing sheetrock, which was heavily damaged and moldy, installing new insulation where required, a complete renovation all the mechanical and electrical systems to meet with current codes, new sheetrock and paint, installation of all the doors and frames which had never been installed, a new commercial kitchen and eating area, and all the required furnishings to house up to 28 person construction crew. At the end of the project, the building will be turned back over to the tribe, who will then have a functional office building/community center.
