Cook Convention Center Rebid



The Daily Memphian:

The rebidding of the renovation of the Memphis Cook Convention Center has come in below the $175 million the city has to spend on the project.

Three contractors: Roy Anderson Corp., Grinder Taber & Grinder and W.G. Yates and Son submitted bids which were opened Thursday.

The bid will be awarded to a single contractor on Nov. 8 with a Nov. 16 notice to start construction, which will be in phases as the convention center continues to hold events. The renovations are to be substantially complete by Aug. 17, 2020 with more break-out meeting space, better load-in facilities and an exterior that includes views of the Mississippi River and Wolf River Harbor.
