Construction was completed over a 2 year period. Utility shut downs and cutovers were accomplished with careful coordination with the base and electric generators when required.

CCASS Evaluation:

Excellent

Cox Construction provided excellent overall services for the CA ARNG. On a relatively large ($11+MM) construction project, they worked together with the government team to limit and mitigate changes, complete the project ahead of schedule, and provide a finished project of exceptional quality. All aspects of the project were handled in a professional and business-like fashion. Cox was a significant contributor to the team-effort project concept and fostered an “all business/no drama” environment that thrived within their own team of crews and subcontractors, and carried over to their interactions with the government.
