Last night the Board held a special meeting to select a construction manager for the project. Our construction manager will be PJ Dick. You can visit their website here.
My reasoning for voting for awarding the contract to PJ Dick are as follows:
1) Very positive references from other Western Pennsylvania school districts
2) Willingness to listen to the District and be helpful in completing a project that meets a certain, specified budget number
3) Willingness to evaluate ALL options on the table with regards to the project
4) Very experienced team of local professionals that have worked on local school projects
The final companies that were up for selection were both well qualified and capable. The costs for each CM were also very similar. In the end I voted for the team that I think can bring the best value to the District.
