Design-Build
Institute of America Recognizes the Rosendin Electric and Hoffman
Construction Design-Build Team for Work on the New Armed Forces
Reserve Center at Camp Withycombe.
SAN
JOSE, Calif. and HILLSBORO, Ore. (November 29, 2012) -- Rosendin
Electric, the nation's largest private electrical
contractor and a 100% employee-owned company, has received a 2012
National Design-Build Award in the Civic category from the
Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) in recognition of support
given to Hoffman Construction for the electrical design and
construction of the new Camp Withycombe Armed Forces Reserve Center
in Clackamas County, Oregon. In previous years, Rosendin Electric has
been recognized for work on the Mineta San Jose International
Airport, the Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant, and
the Alameda County Juvenile Justice Center, amongst other
high-profile projects.
To
be considered for a National Design-Build Award, a project must
demonstrate the successful application of design-build best practices
as defined by the DBIA Design-Build Manual of Practice. Best
practices include bringing together key team members during the
proposal process, as well as close coordination between design and
construction team members from the design development stage through
field construction and project completion.
The
$72 million, LEED® Gold project was a new 250,000 square-foot Armed
Forces Reserve Center, including 35,000 square-feet of vehicle
storage and maintenance space, designed to support more than 1,300
soldiers in the Oregon National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve. The
project included office suites, an assembly hall, conference and
training rooms, a 400-seat auditorium, and electronic and static
displays of military artifacts and campaign history to honor the
soldiers of the 41st Infantry.
"This
year's award for our work at Camp Withycombe is an honor and a
testament to our design-build excellence which extends to all of our
regional operations and projects," said Brian Ruffner, Business
Development Manager for Rosendin Electric's Oregon office in
Hillsboro.
