Not only to they have excellent municipal and County Conservation District experience and knowledge but they lead the way in executing all types of K-12 projects and providing prevailing wage, clearance, phasing documentation.

The success of these projects is planning and documentation including phasing plans and clear scope definition that has been reviewed with all stakeholders. We plan to rehearse for construction right from the start. Please see Section 2 for our similar projects including awardwinning projects at the Naval Academy, Upper Darby, Alvernia College and Shenandoah University. 4.) The experience of the lead firm, design firm, sub-consultants, and associated firms on similar projects and their certifications and involvement in industry trade organizations.

“Our turf, track and bleacher project was designed and constructed during the pandemic while the economy was forcing prices upward. D’Huy’s design and the work of Miller and Skepton on the state contract allowed us to compare options, buy materials and complete construction quickly, with great quality and at a tremendous value.”

Robert Spengler, Superintendent Catasauqua Area School District

“D’Huy has always put the needs of our students first. Our High School project had many challenges because we basically built the new building on top of the old building. Because of D’Huy’s phasing plan and Skepton’s construction expertise, our students and community is greatly benefiting from our new high school.”

Dr. Art Levinowitz, Former President of School Board Upper Dublin School District

“Two new elementary schools, three complex elementary school renovations, a premiere athletic venue, and dozens of capital improvement projects – nothing is too large or too small for Skepton and DEI to tackle.”

5.) The Firm’s workload and ability to meet budgets and schedules.

The services requested are a staple of Miller Sports and its partners. We specialize in managing public school projects. All of our projects are completed on time and below budget, with no claims. We regularly act as stewards of the taxpayer projects due to the volume of school work performed. We continually advise the Owner about cost, offer value engineering during design and throughout construction and closely monitor schedules to ensure timely completion. Our schedule and budget systems keep projects on track. This was demonstrated most clearly during the pandemic when projects at Hatboro-Horsham, Catasauqua , and Easton were completed on time and on budget. 6.) The Firm’s ability to undertake the work and assume the financial liability associated with the work, including the ability to provide a Surety Bond, as well as the adequacy of the accounting and scheduling systems to identify cost and impacts to the project. The Miller Sports Construction Team is regularly engaged in projects over $15M. We have the greatest bonding capacity, insurance , and most extensive buying power of any of the companies that will submit. We expect to bring this resourcefulness to bear for the Southern Lehigh School District. Our communication skills are superior. The district will always remain in control of the project.

Refer to the Project Work Plan and schedule in Section 4 . Our references will attest to the resourcefulness, creativity and on-time and on budget performance of our projects. 7.) Favorable performance evaluations on recently completed similar projects. Miller Sports Construction repeatedly performs and delivers on the State contract. The team delivered the bleachers, lights, turf and track for Alumni Field in Catasauqua last year in this manner. The State contract offers many opportunities to speed construction, compare prices and obtain preferential delivery. We are excited to share our approach. Our pricing and approach is designed to provide the best value over the life of the project. Others will endeavor to lure the District with a “low-bid”. Our goal is to partner with the District, make value-added decisions, and deliver savings during each phase of the work. We have additioned ideas to save the Districts money and look forward to collaborating with you. 8.) The pricing proposal utilizing the Cooperative Purchasing Program.

OUR SCHEDULE DRIVEN APPROACH DELIVERS SAVINGS AND GETS THE WORK DONE Schedule and cost are typically two of the biggest drivers during the design phase. Coordinating the schedule for construction with the time of year and procurement will be essential. Working to minimize the amount of site disturbance will be important to reduce the risk of sinkholes. No one knows better how to plan and remediate sinkholes in the Lehigh Valley than Skepton. Having complete control of both the project cost and the schedule before the first shovel goes into the ground is the absolute best way to reduce the risk for the Owner. During design, we continuously “rehearse for construction” through our phasing plans and milestone scheduling. These plans are continuously challenged and updated so the construction phase is executed without issue, while reducing the risk of sinkholes and unnecessary changes. OUR ATHLETIC FACILTY KNOWLEDGE AND THOROUGHNESS ELIMINATE AMBIGUITIES

Our team offers a combination of athletic facility design, materials and purchasing know-how,7 and construction expertise. We have a track record and a reputation for success not only in completing work but in exceeding beyond the expectations of our clients. We will work with the District and its Architect to incorporate all the desires for the project while offering recommendations on how to achieve value. In addition, we will examine close and execute with precision of all project details including:

 Safety  Code compliance of architectural, electrical, mechanical, egress, and security systems.  Continuous cost control and value engineering  Conformance with municipal and regulatory standards.  Conformance with and clear description of project phasing requirements and related public, staff, and operations traffic patterns.  Coordination with vendors and suppliers, especially in the post pandemic economy  Close attention to materials testing and overall project quality  Thorough testing, start-up and training on new system and equipment
