The Story

Vigilant assisted the Town of Mahone Bay in the estimation and delivery of their new Fire Station. Vigilant worked in two phases on this project. Phase one included the concept design and performance specifications, issuing the Design-Build RFP, evaluating proposals, and making recommendations to the Town for award. Phase two included awarding the Design-Build contract, developing detailed design drawings, constructing the work and commission, and closing-out the project. Vigilant managed change orders efficiently to mitigate cost and scheduling impacts. In the construction phase, there was an ongoing issue of low water pressure for the sprinklers in the building. Vigilant worked closely with the Town to provide various options in multiple price ranges. With Vigilant’s recommendations, they were able to make an informed decision on how to proceed.
