THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS BEGINS AT RIO HONDO COLLEGE
Whittier- The construction process is beginning at Rio Hondo
College. The College’s Program Management Team has sent out a
Request for Proposal to six pre-qualified Construction Management
Firms to find the Construction Manager for the Learning Resource
Center (LRC) and Library project.
The Construction Manager plays a vital role in building projects.
They enforce the provisions of the construction contract, issue
status reports, and coordinate the activities of the Architect,
Inspector, Owner’s Representative, and the Contractor. All six of
the firms attended a Job Walk on March 20th and are expected to
submit proposals.
“The Program Management Team has done a good job in pre-qualifying
the firms in our pool,” said Gary Mendez, President of the Rio Hondo
College. “I am confident that we will have an excellent Construction
Manager for this project. I am delighted that the construction
process is underway and look forward to the ground breaking ceremony
for the LRC.”
A firm will be recommended by the Rio Hondo College Program
Management Team to the Board of Trustees at the April 19th meeting.
Construction on the LRC is set to begin by Fall 2006.
“This is an exciting time,” said Dr. Rose Marie Joyce, President of
Rio Hondo College. “We are beginning to see all of the planning we
have done come to fruition.”
