Daughan of the Luray architectural firm Baughan and Baukages appeared before the board to present the bids. “The good news is that we received 11 bids - the most I ever remember receiving for a job,” Daughan said. “The bad news is that all the bids were well over our projected cost of $100,000.” The low bidder was Daughan Construction Company, a firm owned by the architect’s brother in Luray. Their bid was $138,871, followed by bids of $143,771 and $146,637. The architect said that the number of bids and the range they covered indicated that the builders’ cost estimates were fair and realist. He offered the board several changes in the originalplans that would reduce the building cost. After a brief discussion of the changes, the board voted to accept the low bid.
