City Center Concepts was founded by two Newport News based contractors with a single goal in mind: to provide a competitive, cost-effective proposal for the construction of the new SCOT Center in our great city. Along with an assembled design team consisting of local, Hampton Roads based architects, engineers and subcontractors, a majority who are located within the Newport News city limits, we have met and exceeded the basis of design for this project on property already owned by the City of Newport News. As you review this proposal, the time and effort put forth by a large contingent of Newport News contractors and residents should be extremely apparent, as we all have an collective pride for our City. City Center Concepts is well versed in the PPEA process as we have recently completed several PPEA projects in the Hampton Roads region. We will work hand in hand with the City of Newport News to guide you through the process of a design build PPEA project. Our team will consist of Oyster Point Construction Company and Ritchie Curbow Construction Company, Inc. sharing the prime responsibility. RRMM Architects, located in Chesapeake, VA with an extensive history with the City of Newport News, will be the lead design architect for the SCOT Relocation. They will oversee our structural engineer, G. G. Cornwell & Co. located in Newport News; mechanical & electrical engineers, Matthew J. Thompson Engi- neers located in Hampton, VA; and site and environmental design engineer, Draper Aden Associates, located in Newport News. We will also partner with local subcontractors such as Swing Electric, Art Newsome Incorporated, Warwick Plumbing and Heating, and Mallory Electric to deliver a comprehensive package with the emphasis on companies that employ here in Newport News. Our proposal for the SCOT Center PPEA has been prepared in accordance to the Public Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act of 2002 (PPEA) and submitted in two volumes. Volume 1 - Technical contains our response to Section 1 - Qualifications and Experience, Section 2 - Project Characteristics, and Section 4 - Project Benefit and Compatibility. Volume 2 - Proprietary contains our response to Section 3 - Project Financing and we would submit that the material contained in Volume 2 be private and secure per the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
