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. Miller Sports Construction is widely recognized as the leader in athletic facilities services in the Lehigh Valley and in the Mid-Atlantic region. Together with Skepton and D’Huy have successfully completed hundreds of millions of dollars of public schools over the last 3 years. All of our clients are repeat clients which reaffirms t hat we exceed expectations. Our staff of licensed e ngineers, l icensed architects, certified p rofessional e stimators, c ertified co nstruction sp ecifiers, val ue eng ineering specialist, and construction experts provided the full range of expertise required to deliver Southern Lehigh School District’s project from the design, procurement, and construction phases. 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.

“The West Chester University Farrell Stadium track and field facility was redone in 2020 by Miller Sports Construction, and provides a high-class training environment for all our event groups. From distance, to sprints, to our jumpers and throwers, everyone has benefited from the science and technology behind the quality of the surface, supporting their training and goals through each season.” Melissa Ferry Head Coach, Men’s &Women’s Track & Field / Cross Country West Chester University
