Nine "Design-Builders" Submit Qualifications
For South Adams School Project
 

 


Verified Statements of Qualifications for (9) Design-Builders were submitted on April 9 for a Pre-K thru 8 project located in Berne, Indiana.  The project is for the South Adams School district with DBIA-GLC member InterDesign serving as the Criteria Consultant.  This is the first new facility for K-12 education to be advertised under the design-build for public works statute IC5-30 that went into effect July 1, 2005.  The Design-Build firms leading each team are:

  • Fetters Construction Inc. (Auburn)
  • Hagerman Inc. (Fort Wayne)
  • Hunt-OMS Team (Indianapolis)
  • James S. Jackson Co. LLC (Bluffton)
  • Michael Kinder & Sons, Inc. (Fort Wayne)
  • Performance Services Inc. (Indianapolis)
  • Turner Construction Company of Indiana, LLC (Indianapolis)
  • Weigand Construction Co., Inc. (Fort Wayne)
  • Wright & Company (South Bend)
     
    Qualifications of the teams are being evaluated by the Technical Review Committee to select the (3) most highly qualified Design-Builders.
     
    The top (3) teams will receive a Request for Proposal which includes the performance and operational requirements that have been defined by the South Adams Technical Review Committee, and the Criteria Developer. 
     
    Each team will create design solutions for the project for South Adams to rate and score.  The teams will also prepare pricing for their designs that will be submitted at the same time as their plans, but in a separate sealed envelope.  After the technical scores are compiled the price proposals will be opened.  A Best Value team will be identified by dividing the total price by the technical score.
     
    The project faces a request for a Petition-Remonstrance filed by some local citizens which will cause some delay.  The remonstrance has been launched over the proposed cost of the project and the impact on property taxes.  The project delivery method is not the issue for remonstrance.
