| Bid deadline for major contractors postponed
MANCHESTER - The new Manchester Essex Regional Middle and High School recently took its first step toward construction of a new building by opening subcontractor bids.
The second step in the process, opening major contractors to bid on the $46 million project, will have to wait a few days.
The deadline for major contractors to turn in bids for the project has been extended from Wednesday, April 25, to Monday, April 30, according to project manager Jay Stanbury of Design Technique Inc.
Officials said the extension won't cause the project to be delayed.
"The extra time will give contractors additional a time to get their bids in," Stanbury said.
Stanbury said the move to extend the deadline was to give those bidders who were affected by last week's nor'easter time to regroup.

Bidding War for Green Energy
The corporate headquarters of a state-regulated utility would seem to be an unlikely place for green tech entrepreneurs to strike gold. But as global warming worries grow and regulators require utilities to obtain more electricity from renewable sources, the industry is turning to startups to meet those mandates. And so the scene this week at PG&E (PCG) in San Francisco, where California's largest utility held a bidder's conference for companies wanting to make offers to provide between 80 and 800 megawatts of clean, green energy. Like the other investor-owned California utilities – Southern California Edison (EIX) and San Diego Gas & Electric (SRE) - PG&E must get 20 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2010. The quote rises to 30 percent by 2030. What's more, California regulators - laying the groundwork for the state's coming cap on greenhouse gas emissions - have barred the utilities from signing long-term contracts for the purchase of “dirty power" from out-of-state coal-fired plants.
La Tasca bidding war hots up as Tchenguiz trumps rival’s offer
THE bidding war for tapas themed restaurant chain La Tasca intensified yesterday after the consortium led by property magnate Robert Tchenguiz again raised its offer to trump rivals, Tragus. The news sent shares in La Tasca up 2.5%, or 5p to close at 203p, with analysts predicting a further ratchetting up of the bid price. Iranian-born Tchenguiz cranked up his offer 6% to £104.2m yesterday, the equivalent of 200p-a-share. That tops a 192p-a-share bid last week from the restaurant group Tragus, which is owned by private equity firm Blackstone. .
