ARLINGTON, VA-The Arlington County Bounty School Board has taken a step in realizing the development of the new Washington-Lee High School with the selection of a general contractor to head up the construction of the 350,000-sf facility. Hess Construction Co. was awarded the $85-million contract, which also calls for the company to oversee the multi-phased demolition of the existing 225,000-sf school that has housed students since 1976.

School board officials expect to spend approximately $99 million to complete the entire project. According to minutes from the closed meeting during which board members voted in favor of awarding the contract to Hess, six firms had received pre-approval to bid on the project, and Hess was one of two that submitted final bids.
