“…
the Board of Education of Weld County School District 6 gratefully
acknowledges MBI Corporation for the professional and timely completion
of the District 6 Stadium project.”
- Dick J, Reddy, President |
The
Owner had no room in the budget for major change orders. MBI worked
with the Owner and the Construction Manager to find alternative
solutions to encountered field problems, thus limiting the Owner’s
exposure to claims. This allowed the project to be completed within
his original budget, including contingency.

This facility covered over 9 acres and included a state of the art
football field, running track, track and field events, lockers,
showers, offices, concessions, announcers booths, TV and audio facilities,
and seating areas for up to 5000 fans. The project had a very tight
schedule to meet the first game of the season for the community.
Our challenges were to have the football field and running track
in prime condition before the first event. This was accomplished
in spite of inclement weather early in the construction schedule,
overloaded subcontractors, re-work of existing conditions and no
utilities on site. Potable and non-potable water, gas and sanitary
sewer were brought from offsite and installed to two separate two-story
masonry concession/equipment buildings. The football field is sand
based with a State of the Art drainage system. The running track
is asphalt based with a resilient surface. |
