RE: Request to hire Construction Engineers as Construction Manager for Recreation Facility
Improvement projects
Background:
As part of our Recreation Facility Improvement planning, we have discussed the approach of bringing a
Construction Management (CM) firm on board early in our planning and pre-design process. A qualified
CM firm will be influential in working in conjunction with JLG Architects and our building committee.
Throughout the design/pre-construction phase of our project planning, having the CM on board as part
of our team, including:
- Provide Value Engineering by working closely with design team to provide a fully vetted true-cost
estimate of projects
- Support the Design team by developing and managing real time opinion of cost on design
elements with advanced cost estimating and project cost control
- Monitor and provide input on all design considerations, with input of local construction
contractors
- Develop and manage detailed timeline for project bidding and construction scheduling
- When a project is ready to move forward, by using a CM at Risk project delivery method, the CM
will be fully prepared to provide the City with a Guaranteed Maximum Price project, with the CM
owning sub-contracts and taking control of construction bidding/scheduling.
The City released a Request for Qualifications on April 5th and received a proposal to our request from
four qualified CM’s. We held in person interviews with all four of the qualified finalists, and based upon
the following selection criteria, the committee is excited to recommend Construction Engineers to be
hired as the Construction Manager for these projects.
- Familiarity with the local and regional construction markets
- Abilities/qualifications of professional personnel
- Performance on and experience with similar projects
14
- Demonstrated experience and ability to lead owner through procurement of sponsorship or
donation of goods and services from contractors
- Capacity to meet time and budget requirements in a satisfactory manner
- Recent, current, and projected workload
- Proposed fees for listed scope of work
Budget Impact:
The proposed fee for the pre-design/pre-referendum period of Construction Engineers work is $22,500.
This work agreement is set to begin at approval of this proposal and would carry through November 2022.
Recommendation:
Recommend approval of Construction Engineers as the Construction Manager for our Recreation Facility
Improvement projects, with the pre-design/referendum fee of $22,500.

Feasibility Study and Fundraising Plan
For East Grand Forks Recreation Facility Improvements
Project Overview
The City of East Grand Forks is seeking a qualified independent consulting firm for the purposes
of conducting a feasibility study. We are looking for a partner who is experienced with planning
and conducting a fundraising feasibility study and is familiar Parks & Recreation Sports
complexes. The plan should assess our current situation, potential fundraising capacity for a
campaign and make recommendations on a strategy to maximize our fundraising efforts. A
project budget, timeline and action items should be clearly identified.
Project Background and Goals

In 2019, The City of East Grand Forks commissioned JLG Architects and their consultants to conduct a
comprehensive building review of the Civic Center and VFW Memorial Arenas. The building review
results helped guide a project feasibility study to help the City understand what type of budget to expect
in making the necessary repairs and improvements. Since the initial feasibility study was conducted, the
City has held community input meetings and conducted surveys to gauge the community priorities for
needed recreation facility improvements. The community input process helped guide the following
project priorities:
1. Repair and Renovate the Civic Center
2. Improve baseball complex to allow for longer seasonal use, maximize competitive surface and
safety
3. Repair & Renovate VFW Memorial Arena to remain an ice arena
4. Consider and prioritize potential improvements to increase Blue Line Arena functionality
5. Plan for and invest in improvements that add multi-use function to all recreation facilities
Currently, the City of East Grand Forks understands repairs and desired renovations could range from
$13-$20 Million, depending upon the final scope of the project(S). It is the City’s goal and desire to
fundraise as much of the needed projects funds as possible, but further research needs to be conducted
to set a realistic and tangible fundraising goal. We expect the total project funding package to include
corporate sponsorship opportunities, private fundraising, state and local grants, and potential Local
Option Sales Tax revenue.
Civic Center
The East Grand Forks Civic Center, built in 1974, serves as the home of the East Grand Forks Green Wave
hockey programs as well as youth hockey and figure skating for the community. The Civic Center has one
NHL size ice rink (85’x200’) with seating capacity for approximately 3,400 people. The building has
undergone aesthetic improvements and renovations through its history, but limited improvements have
been made to the arenas Ice Plant and mechanical systems. The current rink is served by an indirect
flooded R22/glycol system. The R22 plant is currently working as intended, but does require annual
maintenance and is at an age that various components are at risk of failing at any time. The ice rink
floor, installed in 1993, has a subfloor heating system, but that is no longer in working condition. The
16
building also is in need of major mechanical upgrades and improvements to its accessibility to become
compliant with ADA standards and parking lot replacement. Finally, the City is interested in considering
the feasibility of adding a new dressing room addition to replace its current undersized dressing rooms,
which are located in the arenas basement.
VFW Memorial Arena

The VFW Memorial Arena, built in 1982, serves both the youth figure skating and youth hockey
community. The VFW Memorial Arena has one rink (85’x190’) with seating capacity for approximately
500 people. The buildings structure has remained largely the same since a locker room addition was
completed in the early 1990’s and the arena’s Ice Plant was replaced with a used ice plant in 1997,
following a city flood. The current ice rink is served by a direct R22 system with evaporative condensers.
The direct R22 compressors have been re-built and are currently working as needed, but many
components of the ice system remain original and are in need of replacement. The R22 flooded floor is
original with the building and as 39 years old is considered to be at risk of leaks at any time. In addition
to the ice system improvements, building studies have determined a need to improve the building’s
exterior envelope, building entry accessibility, and mechanical upgrades to improve indoor air quality,
heating & cooling. Community surveys also identified the potential to add a new common entrance
addition to connect the VFW & Blue Line Arenas, creating a better warm space viewing area for the Blue
Line Arena.
Blue Line Arena

The Blue Line Arena was built in 2008, as a community project to repurpose a temporary school building
into an ice arena. Initially planned to be used mainly for practices, this rink has seen increase use in
recent years as youth hockey and figure skating numbers have grown. The smaller arena has a cold
arena space, and limited lobby space for spectators. Through surveys with the community, there is a
desire to have larger lobby/spectator spaces and warmer spaces to watch action on the ice. The R404a
refrigerant ice system is in good condition
Stauss Park
Stauss Park is the home to two full size baseball fields, which are the home to High School baseball
programs at Sacred Heart and Senior High Schools, as well as summer youth and amateur baseball
teams. The current complex has one field, known as the “Legion field” is a competition field with
lighting, grass infield, and irrigation system throughout. The 2nd field known as the “Babe Ruth field” is
used for limited competition and practices, with limited amenities. The project scope for this complex
includes adding improved grading and drain tile to the current Legion field and renovated the Babe Ruth
field to be a complete competition field with lighting, synthetic turf, and grandstand/press box area.
Study Objectives
Our goal in conducting this feasibility study is to understand what the potential is for a
fundraising campaign and to gauge the level of support for this project in our community. The
feasibility study report should address the following:
 The community’s perception of the City of East Grand Forks, its recreation programs and
these specific projects
 Identification of potential leaders in the fundraising effort
 Names of potential major donors/funders and what their interests might be
 Determination of the amount of money that can be reasonably raised
 Other major fundraising campaigns in the area that might compete for the same donors
17
 Possible alternatives for raising funds needed to complete the project
 Roles and responsibilities of City elected officials, Parks & Recreation leadership and
volunteers in a campaign
 Appropriate timeframe for both the campaign planning study and the fundraising itself

KEY QUALIFICATIONS & APPROACH 1
COST ESTIMATING PROCESS
HIGHLY ACCURATE COST ESTIMATING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Our estimating database has been compiled with over 30 years of local cost history. By utilizing Sage Estimating, we are able to
quickly and accurately provide multiple estimates throughout the preconstruction phase. Each of these estimates allows us to work
with the Owner and the design team to ensure the design is maintaining the projected budget. By developing full estimates earlier,
we provide savings for the Owner in both time and money by reducing any re-design and/or re-bidding of the project.
CONCEPTUAL COST ESTIMATE (CC) - FOCUS FOR PRE-REFERENDUM ACTIVITIES

10% Upon selection as the construction manager, we immediately engage the estimating department to begin a
DESIGN conceptual cost estimate. The CC estimate is based on a collaboration of design team programming and Owner’s
space requirements. We utilize our extensive cost history data to apply pricing from projects we’ve completed in
similar size, scope, and location. This estimate will act as a starting point for the creation of the overall project cost.
SCHEMATIC DESIGN ESTIMATE (SD)

30% As the project develops and we gain a better understanding of the building footprint, our estimating department
DESIGN begins a detailed estimate of construction costs. We utilize the schematic design documents prepared by the design
team which identify how the space requirements from the programming in the CC phase will be incorporated into the
building. At this point, we are able to quantify the various components and apply specific pricing to them based on
cost history as well as unit pricing from subcontractors. After development of the SD estimate, we compare it with our CC estimate to
identify scopes of work that may have greatly increased or came in below our projections. This allows us to update the design team
and Owner on how the project is tracking and address any potential budgeting and scope concerns before they become an issue
further down the road. We also provide a list of value engineering options and perform our initial constructability review.
DESIGN DEVELOPMENT ESTIMATE (DD)

60% The design development estimating phase takes place once the design team has reached 60-70% completed
DESIGN drawings. Our main objective during this phase is to update and refine our SD estimate, and take it to another level
of detail. We reach out to select subcontractors for budgeting input. We also evaluate the current bidding climate
and generate interest in the project by creating a project flyer informing potential bidders about the upcoming
bid advertisement. At this stage, with drawings that are further developed, we are able to create a more detailed estimate which
gives us one more opportunity to advise the Owner and design team if we are anticipating any budget issues as well as provide
recommendations on constructability and additional value engineering solutions. At this phase we also work with the design team
in exploring the potential of early bid packages such as site work and foundations, allowing construction to start sooner and possibly
in a more suited time of the limited construction season.
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS (CD)

90-100% Once we receive the completed construction documents for various projects of the Master Plan, we will make
DESIGN a recommendation to the Owner that a Final Estimate can be developed. The Final Estimate will be based upon
construction documents and design details that were developed throughout the preconstruction phase. We will start
an extensive solicitation process to request bids from a long list of subcontractors and suppliers to ensure we have
coverage on each scope of work. We strive to obtain at least three bids for each scope of work, thus bringing the best value possible
to the Owner. We believe it is best to have an open book policy so the Owner has the opportunity to view all bids. We prepare a bid
tabulation sheet showing the various bids received for each bid package and also provide our recommendation regarding which
subcontractors and suppliers are best suited for the project. The Final Estimate will consist of the sum of the Cost of the Work,
Project Management, Supervision, any recommended Contingency, and Construction Engineers’ fee.

COST CONTROL | DESIGN PHASE ESTIMATE COMPARISON
AN EXAMPLE OF HOW WE STAY ON BUDGET
CASE STUDY - FARGO PUBLIC SCHOOLS EXPLORER ACADEMY

The Explorer Academy Project in Fargo is a perfect example of cost control on a project with a tight budget. Due to a limited amount
of time to complete the design phase of the project, an expedited value engineering and budget correction process was required to
ensure we did not go over budget on bid day.

The issue was confirmed with the DD Estimate.
From there, the Team had 2 months to rein in the
budget, bid the project, and establish a GMP.

VALUE ENGINEERING
COST SAVINGS AS A RESULT OF OUR EXPERIENCE
One of the primary advantages of the CM process is the ability of the Designer and the Construction Manager to work closely together
to produce a fully optimized design. The powerful integration of Construction Engineers and JLG Architects will lead to a well-designed
project that meets the City of East Grand Forks’ criteria with regard to building quality and sustainability while also representing the
highest level of efficiency with regard to capital and operational cost. Our preconstruction collaboration will result in a fully vetted,
true-cost estimate that results in a “no surprises” Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the project. Continued integration of the
team through the construction phase will provide a hassle-free RFI process, streamlined submittal reviews, enhanced operator input,
and opportunities for enhancements such as asset management.
The collaboration between the Designer and Construction Manager allows Construction Engineers to continually explore possible
value engineering options. Upon identifying these options, they are reviewed with the Design Team and the Owner to make the final
decisions on the options. This allows for the changes and subsequent savings to be incorporated into the design and therefore into
the final construction documents.
We have listed below some highlights of our value engineering efforts on past projects.

SCHEDULE CONTROL
A CLEAR PATH START TO FINISH
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULES
Project schedules are widely used throughout the construction industry. These schedules are used to identify as well as monitor
the path of construction from start to finish. Our overall schedule process goes beyond a standard bar chart type of schedule.
This process contains three primary components; the overall project schedule, the three week look ahead schedules, and Project
Visualization. Each component has a unique purpose and allows the Owner, design team, and subcontractors to be engaged and
aware of the day to day operations on the construction site.
OVERALL PROJECT SCHEDULE

The overall project schedules are created during the pre-construction phase of the project. With input from the Owner, the design
team, as well as the subcontractors we identify the sequence of the project, the logic of how each task is related to one another, as
well as anticipated manpower and/or equipment requirements of the project. The overall project schedule provides the following:
• Outlines the most efficient and cost effective way of building the project
• Communicates the overall path of the project to all applicable parties
• Delineates the critical path of the project and allows us to capitalize on a limited cost effective construction season
• Identifies measurable milestones of the project and allows the progress to be monitored and updated

SUBCONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIPS
CREATING EXCITEMENT FOR YOUR PROJECT
SUBCONTRACTOR BIDDING
We plan to obtain a minimum of 3-4 subcontractor bids for each Division of Work on the East Grand Forks Recreation Facility
Improvements Project. In order to generate subcontractor interest in bidding the project we plan to publicly advertise each bid
package and post the bid packages on regional builders exchanges. We will also reach out to our database consisting of over 2,900
regional subcontractors and vendors and personally invite them to bid the project.
The CE Team understands and share the City of East Grand Forks’ desire to maximize participation by local subcontractors. With
43 years of continuous operations, Construction Engineers has developed an extensive database of subcontractors in the region
and enjoys strong relationships in the local construction community. Our management team will draw upon these decades of local
experience when developing the subcontractor qualification criteria and bid packages.

BIDDING STRATEGY
CREATE THE RIGHT BID STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS
The East Grand Forks Recreational Facility Improvements Project is a project that with the right strategy can hit the project out of
the park and allow the City of East Grand Forks to get the most out of their available dollars. However, with a project of this nature,
the wrong bid strategy can result in increased costs and delayed project schedules to the point that portions of the project could be
put on the shelf indefinitely.
Our strategy on this project would be a multi-pronged approach as the final scope and timelines are developed.
1. Conduct Constructability Reviews:

• To ensure locally available products and labor forces are maximized
• Reduced costs due to travel and subsistence
2. Ensure bidding takes place during the right time of year to gain the most competitive bids
3. CE knowledge of the regional bidding climate allows us to provide recommendations on the best time to solicit for specific
areas of the project
4. Separate into multiple projects:

• Capitalize on local resources
• Increase number of bids for each project CE will reach out to contractors
• Allow certain portions of the overall project to start and finish sooner in advance of the bid solicitation
• Opportunity to complete specific projects to meet Park Board schedules process to:
• Ability to prioritize projects based on current fund-raising efforts
• Encourage interest in project
5. Separate bid packages: • Gage the work backlogs
• Overcome long lead times (i.e., turf for baseball field improvements) • Better determine the future
• Minimize future material increases (i.e., releasing steel ahead of time) bidding climate
• Reduce overall construction schedules • Encourage and assure a
sufficient workforce by
6. Create the ability to ensure the right subcontractors are bidding the projects interested contractors be
maintained and available for
7. Enhance the opportunity for community engagement: the duration of the project
• Maximizing cost reductions because of community involvement
• Reduce schedule extensions due to community participation
ENSURING A SUFFICIENT WORK FORCE AND MANAGING PROJECT COSTS:

Upon being selected as the CM, CE would shortly thereafter begin reaching out to qualified contractors to gage their interest in
the project. This communication would precede the actual bid solicitation stage due to the fact that the bid solicitation process is
typically not long enough to allow contractors to consider future backlogs prior to the bid solicitation of a particular project.
Management of project costs for contractors would be clearly defined in the project front end specifications and again reiterated in
the project preconstruction meeting. It would be clearly defined that each and every contractor is to break out their billing applications
into a detailed and practical schedule of values so that the quantity of work completed by each contractor could easily be determined
and verified. The same concept would apply between the Owner and the CM.
Upon review and selection of subcontractors in coordination with the Owner and design team, a detailed schedule of values would
be developed between the Owner and CM so that progress billing applications would clearly show how the cost incurred reflects the
actual work completed on the project.

B. ADMINISTRATION OF PROJECT
CMA VS. CMAR
Construction Engineers recommends construction manager at risk

(CMAR) project delivery method.
We are experienced in both delivery methods and CMAR is used most often.
CMA
Similar to a design professional or an Owner’s representative,
a CMA has a contract only with the owner. The role of the
CMA is to assist the owner with scheduling and coordination,
constructability review of the design, nonbinding estimating,
value engineering recommendations, observation of the work
for conformance with the contract, project documentation, and
similar activities.
However, unlike the general contracting and CMAR models, a

CMA does not perform any construction and does not hold/
cannot directly enforce the contracts of the contractors
performing the work. Also, any action on the construction
contracts must be taken by the Owner, and the Owner has the
risk of having to sue or being sued by the multiple contractors.
CMAR
CMAR has a contractual arrangement similar to general contracting. Under the CMAR model, the Owner has a single prime contract
with the CMAR, and the CMAR holds all the subcontracts. By holding all the construction contracts, the CMAR can enforce scheduling
and coordination obligations directly with regard to the subcontractors. The CMAR also develops a Guaranteed Max Price (GMP) for
the entire cost of the construction.
Similar to a CMA, there are no restrictions on when an

Owner can engage a CMAR. However, it is preferable
to engage a CMAR at the very beginning of a project.
Depending on the terms of the contract, CMARs typically
participate in the design process to identify constructability
problems, budgetary concerns, material availability issues,
and schedule concerns. These preconstruction services,
combined with the CMAR’s familiarity with the project at
the time construction begins, can reduce and/or eliminate
problems during a project. Although a CMAR is not
responsible for design aspects that are unique to design
professionals’ obligations, the CMAR may be responsible
for design issues that should have reasonably been
identified as part of their preconstruction services.
The CMAR has the option to self-perform scopes of work on the project which does have its advantages. In most cases, any scopes
of work the CMAR wishes to perform are competitively bid and are compared with any subcontractor bids submitted. Ultimately, it is
up to the Owner whether or not to allow the CMAR to bid any scopes of work on the project.

ADVANTAGES OF CMAR
LEVEL OF CONTRACTOR REVIEW AND SELECTION

All bid packages are publicly and competitively bid out in accordance with state law. Once the bids are received and compiled, a
thorough bid review process takes place to ensure all bids are complete and final. We then review all received bids with the Owner
and make our recommendations as to which bids should be accepted. At that time, we work with the Owner and design team to
award contracts and move forward with the project. No decisions to award contracts are made without Owner input and direction.
TIMING OF GUARANTEED MAXIMUM PRICE

While we are continually estimating the project throughout the design phase and providing budget impact feedback for any design
considerations, the GMP is usually established after the Construction Documents are complete and the project is at least partially bid
out. It is possible to provide a GMP earlier in the design phase, but we find that this result in a higher GMP value as contractors add
additional contingency to account for unknown items in incomplete drawings.
ESSENTIAL ASSIGNED OWNERS RIGHTS NEEDED TO EFFECTIVELY ACT AS CMAR

The main right assigned to the CMAR is the ability to hold, execute, and closeout all subcontractor agreements. We find that this helps
us run a project in the most efficient manner possible and absolves the Owner of unnecessary duties that many municipalities are not
adequately staffed for when large capital improvement projects are not common for an organization.
There are numerous responsibilities that we prefer to take on such as posting subcontractor bid advertisements and submitting
appropriate permits, while being completely transparent and open. As the Owner, you can feel confident in the project progress
without burdening staff with additional responsibilities that, if not executed properly, could result in unnecessary project delays.
REASONS TO CHOOSE CMAR
Lower Bond Rates

• Many smaller contractors have high bond rates. Construction Engineers can provide a bond program that provides the Owner
with total bond protection in one place at a lower rate than an Owner can typically get when bonding individual subcontractors.
Receive More Bids

• Subcontractors and suppliers (other than M/E) don’t typically provide bid bonds when they bid to general contractors. Many
bidders are unable or unwilling to bid if a bond is required.
• Trusted Relationship - Many subcontractors and suppliers have worked with Construction Engineers for decades and know
what to expect. If a subcontractor or supplier will be contracting directly with the Owner they may perceive the project as
higher risk because they don’t know how the relationship will work.
• More Flexibility with Subcontractor and Supplier Selection - For example, if Construction Engineers doesn’t receive a caulking
bid, we can carry a budget and either self-perform or get someone else on board without having to go through the entire four
week process. We can also be another source for qualifying or disqualifying a subcontractor or supplier if/when someone is
not fit for the project but the Owner doesn’t have that proven history.
Consistent Quality
• Ability for CMAR to step in if/when subcontractors or suppliers are not performing.
• Ability for CMAR to self-perform if there is a bid category that is overpriced or under-represented.
Same Fee
• Construction Engineers’ fees and services don’t change for a CMA job. So for the same cost, the Owner receives the same
services from the Construction Manager, while taking on the liability of subcontractors and supplier contracts and assuming
all of the risk.

EMBRACING COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION & VOLUNTEER WORK
Construction Engineers understands that the East Grand Forks community

has a tradition of supporting facility improvements through donated labor and
volunteering. We encourage that continued support and will work with groups
interested in donating time and labor to appropriate projects in order to keep
costs down.
Tom McDonald has experience volunteering with the following:
• Varsity Locker Room

• Shooting Cage
• Removal of Existing Boards at the Civic Center
Areas of assistance for EGF Recreation Facility Improvements Project will be

determined once the scope of the project has been finalized.
SPECIAL STRENGTHS IN WHICH CE IS EXCEPTIONALLY COMPETENT
Construction Engineers offers more than just on site construction services. Our staff has the ability and expertise to provide increased
value to our clients when they undergo a construction project. We have completed dozens construction contracts with services that
include preconstruction consulting, cost estimating, value engineering, subcontractor bidding and evaluation along with onsite
management activities. Working under a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contract is our preferred method of doing business
and is the best arrangement for both Owner and CM. It is through this arrangement that full transparency of the project costs are
available, documented, and tracked.
Construction Engineers is competent and familiar with required documentation including: MN Contractor Registration, Prevailing
Wage reporting, MN IC-134, and Responsible Contractor Documentation.
Communication is the KEY to a successful project. Owners know at all times, the status of their project - from jobsite construction
and financial reports, to scheduling. Here are a few of the standard operating procedures you can expect.
Correspondence and Project Files

• CE will provide secure electronic storage of all project records.

Shop Drawings, Submittals, and Samples
• Software is used to route and track Submittals for shop drawings, product data, and samples received from Material Suppliers and Subcontrac-
tors and forwarded to the Architect for approval.
Contract Changes
• Change Proposal Requests (CPR’s) are initiated when either the Owner or the Owner’s Representative or Construction Engineers requests to
deviate from the contract documents.

Monthly Pay Requests
• Prior to submitting a Pay Request, the Project Manager will review project schedule and costs to date, including Subcontractor and Material
Supplier billing, and stored materials. Each line item on the Schedule of Values will be billed based on the percentage of work completed through
the current month.

Project Meetings
• Construction Engineers will develop the agenda for the meeting and will prepare and distribute meeting minutes to all attendees and other
parties as needed. These include: Preconstruction Conferences, Project Coordination meetings & Preparatory meetings.

Daily Progress Reports
• The On-Site Project Manager is responsible for completing Daily Progress Reports and submitting them to the Project Manager each day. These
reports are completed and filed electronically.

B. LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION
East Grand Forks Senior High School

1420 4th Ave NW
To Whom It May Concern:
The following letter is a recommendation from the East Grand Forks MN School Board (District 595), concerning the relationship with Construction
Engineers and their dedication to both their mission and vision statements that exceeded our expectations of not only completing our project on
time, but also on budget.
Our project consisted of 60,000 square feet, with the addition of (2) new building additions as well as upgrades to several existing areas throughout
our high school. In addition, an abundance of upgraded site work as well as upgrades to our athletic complex were performed to name a few. The
following is a brief synopsis of how the East Grand Forks School Board worked hand in hand with Construction Engineers.
1. 11/23/2015 - CE brought on board as CMAR

2. 1/19/2016 - CE presented first Schematic Design Estimate (all-in budget was $3.6M over budget)
3. 3/22/2016 - CE presented Design Development Estimate ($8,000 under budget)
3 Bid Packages to allow construction to start sooner:
1. BP#1: Site Work and Turf Field - CE presented Final Estimate 4/25/2016
2. BP#2: Building Shell - CE presented Final Estimate 5/19/2016
3. BP#3: Final GMP - CE presented Final Estimate 7/25/2016
a. Note: included $544,000 of add alternates from wish list within final budget
Construction Schedules:
1. Turf Field:
a. 5/6/2016 - Construction start
b. 8/24/2016 - Certificate of Substantial Completion issued
c. 8/25/2016 - First home soccer game
2. Additions/Site:
a. 5/25/2016 - Work on the Addition started
3. Renovation:
a. 3/19/2017 - Minor areas of renovation started (able to work into areas without affecting school’s day to day operations)
b. 5/15/2017 - Full renovation started
4. Completion:
a. 8/28/2017 - Teachers back into building
b. 9/1/2017 - CO received from state
c. 9/5/2017 - First day of school resumes at full force
Costs:
1. $91,000 of contractor contingency returned to Owner at the end of the project.

2. $30,000 of Owner contingency remaining at the end of the project.
I would be remiss if I did not mention the dedication of not only Construction Engineers leadership, but also their field staff. Not a day went by
throughout the project that they were not keeping us updated and acting in a professional manner. A character trait that is sometimes lost when it
comes to contracting companies. Furthermore, although the project is complete, and all our new and remodeled areas are occupied, Construction
Engineers is still willing to exceed our expectations if called upon.
In closing, it is with great pleasure and gratitude that I recommend Construction Engineers in any project you may have on your horizon. If you have
questions please do not hesitate to contact me and I would be happy to further discuss my recommendations.
Sincerely,
Brandon Boespflug, MBA, MS

LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION
“Since the selection of Construction Engineers

as our CMAR, they have been very involved
in the project details, costing, and planning
process. Meeting requests have always been
met in a very positive manner and they have
always been available to present to our board
periodic information updates on our project.
During our construction process, Construction

Engineers has been very thoughtful of the day-
to-day activities that occur in an education
system. They assure that disruptive portions
of the project occur when students are not
present, they manage their employees and
subcontractors very professionally. They
engage the school, staff and students in
the project whenever possible so that they
feel involved in the process while always
maintaining a safe working environment/
conditions for our patrons.”
Pat Brenden, Superintendent,

Bottineau Public School District #1

“Construction Engineers was chosen by the School Board to fulfill a $20.6 million building project for the
Senior High. Tom McDonald served as the Senior Project manager, and as a result, worked closely with
the administration and School Board members. Among Tom’s strengths are strong communication skills,
flexibility, and patience. He kept the project on track, gave prompt budget updates, and advised us on
financial options, all of which kept the project within budget. Under Tom’s strong leadership, the project was
completed on time, meeting the deadline for school starting in the fall.
