    GARDEN CITY AQUATICS T HE BIG POOL PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGER AT-RISK (CMAR) APRIL 13, 2020 April 13, 2020 Jennifer Cunningham Assistant City Manager 301 N 8th Street Garden City, KS 67846 [email protected] RE: Proposal for Garden City Aquatics Construction Manager At-Risk Garden City is an important part of our state’s success. It’s a regional hub for Western Kansas and sets the pace for the region. Many of McCownGordon Construction’s finest associates are from Western Kansas, including Garden City, and we’re committed to serving your community. This project makes an important statement to your residents and we pledge to make it one they will be proud of. We will also engage as many of the local businesses as possible during construction and offer you our own team of highly qualified professionals that will make your aquatics project a success. We’ll do this with three key differentiators. Depth of Experience Per your RFP, there were several examples of ideas for Garden City’s aquatic park. The one most similar was Long Branch Lagoon in Dodge City for which McCownGordon was the construction manager. As your design and operations consultants have shared with you, aquatic projects have a host of unique challenges. Through our experience in successful delivery of several municipal aquatics projects across the region, we intend to bring those lessons learned and best practices to the table (See page 9 - schedule and page 23 - Keys to Success). From creative cost saving techniques to inventive constructibility recommendations, our team has the knowledge to provide significant value from the very first day we are selected as your partner.

    Architect Ben Crawford on Why Mentors Matter

    60+ Years of Design + Innovation 25 JULY 2018 Architect Ben Crawford on Why Mentors Matter HOK’s Dallas design principal shares the story of the teacher who kept him on course and why he feels an obligation to give back through the ACE Mentor Program. Ben Crawford was studying architecture as an undergrad at Rice University in the late 1980s when he took a look around and wondered: Do I belong here? Have I made the right choice? “It was a challenging time for me,” recalls the architect who now leads HOK’s Dallas design team. “I had grown up in Atlanta attending private schools, so Rice was familiar in that sense. Socially, though, it was quite different. I had been spent most of my upbringing grounded in the black community—my Atlanta neighborhood, my church. In the architecture school, I wasn’t seeing many people who looked like me. Meanwhile, I had all these friends who were attending historically black colleges and seemed to be having a great time.” A long-time architecture professor at Rice University, the late Spencer Parsons, noticed Crawford was struggling and shared some wisdom that still resonates today. “He said, ‘You know, there’s always room in this profession for one more talented person and one more individual voice and viewpoint.’” Crawford would heed that advice, earning a Bachelor of Architecture at Rice and discovering other mentors who would push him as Parsons did. While still an undergrad, he spent 14 months interning in the New York office of I.M. Pei, working alongside veteran designers on landmark projects such as the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
