The firms that applied are Arrowten Inc., Innovative Engineering Consultancy Services, GR Engineering Company, CB & Associates Inc. and Kalitech Inc.
The annex is estimated to cost $191 million.
At the commissioning ceremony, the education minister, Priya Manickchand said that her ministry issued a tender for an additional block for the school.
“We started this school last year and we already need 10 new classrooms which the Permanent Secretary has already put out a bid because once the school is here, kids will come to school and once children come to school, lives will change,” the minister said at the time.
The new school is accommodating 1,019 students.
