Exciting news! Contractor named; Construction not far away!
In July we made significant headway in our building program as the Steering Committee selected the general contractor who will build our new church!The process began when five contractors were asked to submit proposals for consideration. All five responded and four were invited to make a presentation to the Steering Committee on July 28 and 29. Ninety-minute interviews were conducted with each contractor, and Steering Committee members had the chance to ask a wide variety of questions about each company's proposal.
On July 31, the committee reconvened to discuss the four proposals in detail, examining the pros and cons of each one. After much deliberation, the committee voted unanimously to award the contract to Rogers Construction Company of Lawrenceville. President Roger Huggins, a former long-time parishioner at St. John Neumann Church, pledged his personal attention to ensuring the construction project exceeds the expectations of the Steering Committee and the parish at large.
Rogers Construction Company is a well-respected contractor with extensive experience in building churches and schools, facilities designed for large, active groups of people. Safety is a top priority on any Rogers' construction site, and the company is proud of its record. SJN has a very good history with Rogers, which was the contractor for previous construction at the parish. Rogers also has worked extremely well with CDH Architects, who designed our new worship space, and Catholic Construction Services.
"The Steering Committee has every confidence that Rogers Construction will successfully complete our project, on time and within budget," said BLF Steering Committee Co-Chair Joe Creighton. More information on Rogers will be shared in an upcoming bulletin, and we'll introduce the parish to the Rogers team that will be responsible for building our legacy of faith!
Parking lot art has new features, have you noticed?
The "footprint" of the new church painted in red in the parking lot has some recent additions. Check out the yellow outlines and see if you can tell what's what! (Hint: think tabernacle, altar, ambo, and confessionals!)
