INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT

The Boyd & Morse project is an example of ABR’s ability to work three separate clients and coordinate the efforts to provide each separate client with their desired outcome. To wit, prior to the initiation of the project, ABR provided CFDA with a site assessment that provided the conditions of the streets and utilities. The assessment proved that the entire infrastructure grid was failing and would worsen with the passage of time. The results of the assessment obligated ABR to provide CFDA with a construction cost proposal to remedy the deficient conditions at the site.
Thereafter, ABR, through public
bid, entered into an agreement with TRF and CFDA pursuant to which ABR would
design and coordinate the construction of all the new upgrades specified for the
site. The upgrades included
the redesign of the three (3) city block, which included the reconstruction of
all the streets, alleyways, sidewalks, curbs, construct a separate storm sewer
system and sanitary sewer system and provide all new gas and water mains and
provide all new telecommunication services. Additionally, ABR designed
streetscape elements to beautify the area and provide a new gateway for the City
of
The final stage of the project was to provide forty-four (44) new housing units within the upgraded community. To accomplish this task, ABR entered into an agreement with St. Joe’s Carpenter’s Society to coordinate the design and construction elements of the project. ABR also provided the architect with the foundation plans and utility plans to hook up all new utilities to the homes. Finally, ABR worked in coordination with St. Joe’s and CFDA to provide new estate fencing along the frontage of all the homes in the area along with new streetscapes, including new street trees and decorative street lights.
