RFQ Update

The past month has seen Sarah and I, working with Don Briggs, reviewing the various Request for Qualification submittals supplied by a number of highly regarded General Contractor / Construction Management firms. With careful scrutiny we were able to pick a small number of firms that seemed to fit our mold, and we moved them into a class of their own... known as the 'short list'. In the past few weeks, we have gone about scheduling follow-up interviews with each firm to discuss their submittal, touch on the nuances of the project, see what strengths they bring to the overall Project Team, and see if their personality can meld with the others that already make up our project team. The interviews have been a wonderful learning tool, and we thank each individual firm for taking the time to submit their RFQ response. We have interviewed individual GC's to full blown GC/CM firms; some with vast luxury residential experience to those just exuding desire and passion for a job well done. Those that we felt we required more information from, have been contacted to submit follow-up answers. This is so we leave no stone unturned and feel confident in the decision in hiring a GC/CM for the job to lead this project. Basis current travel commitments, and wanting to wrap this up in a timely manner so as to not drag our feet, we are hopeful to have a decision on awarding the GC/CM position by end June. It is my desire to post the selected GC/CM's submittal on our site at such a time, and invite you to visit his/her website for a closer look into their particular construction outfit.

Until then, keep your comments coming and if in the B'root stay out of the rain / snow!

All the best,

Tim
