Project: Pawnee City Hospital - Addition and Remodel Dates of Execution: May 2005 to December 2006 Client: Pawnee City Hospital – Jim Kubik Project Summary: In an effort to attract new doctors to an
older hospital, it was determined that the existing lounge areas needed an extreme makeover. A vendor for medical equipment
was willing to finance this project if the addition included the purchase and installation of a new Siemens C.T. scanner. The
lower level addition includes a large conference room and office area. The upper level adds a new men’s lounge,
x-ray viewing room, women’s lounge, and a C.T. scan room. Self Analysis:
While working on this from start to finish, I was subjected to the greatest
amount of stress during the bidding process after my client asked me to value engineer and redesign the project to fit the
budget. This had to be done in just a few days and drawings reissued for bidding. The new ambulance garage and new covered entry had to be amputated from the project. Results/Personal Information: Rarely does the client solicit
bids from general contractors and choose the highest bidder. The first bid for this project was well over budget and
provided by the same GC that built our previous clinic addition. For whatever reason, they neglected to provide an itemized
description of their work and scheduled values. Another GC provided an even higher bid along with an itemized list several
weeks later and was awarded the contract. Poor communication on the part of the first GC lost them this $850,000
job.
