The Hartford Dunkin’ Donuts Minor League Ballpark stadium came to CSF a quarter of the way complete. CSF was then tasked with surveying the totality of the stadium within scope, inclusive of structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing fixtures and FF&E needs. CSF provided construction completion analysis and management services to the Surety, while evaluating creative solutions for the various design issues encountered along the way. Completion contractors and general subcontractors were hired under CSF to assist with the finalization of the stadium. CSF completed the 200,000sf project in a timely fashion, in time for baseball season kickoff in April 2017.
CSF worked with the bond obligee to arrange for completing contractors to survey remaining work, provide lump sum pricing, level the bids that came in, select the completing entity with the bond obligee to enter into a tender agreement, all to facilitate the completion of the project. Much of the work consisted of HVAC and airside mechanical. Located in central Manhattan, the mega-scale 200,000sf intense project timeline and schedule was maintained and effectively completed on time.
CSF directly managed the completion and operations of a new boiler system in an elementary school located in the Bronx. CSF worked to replace existing fire tube boilers in addition to updating all HVAC valving controls throughout the building. The new boilers called for a switch over from oil to gas.
