The next Oconee school building projects

Oconee School District officials have identified two companies who graded out the best to provide architect and engineer services for the next building projects within the district. The companies–Jumper Carter Sease of Columbia and McMillan Pazden Smith of Greenville/Spartanburg–are being considered for renovation work at two elementary schools—Ravenel and Fair-Oak. The district’s purchasing coordinator, Wayne Putnam,  said it’s not beyond the question that one of the two companies could provide the same kinds of services, should trustees decide to build a new Seneca Middle School.
