Beacon Completes Surety Consulting & Construction Management Services Contract For Queens, NY School Renovation Project
Beacon Consulting Group, Inc. has extensive experience working on school construction and renovation projects, including consulting on many projects where the NYC School Construction Authority (NYCSCA) is the project owner. In recent months, Beacon completed its contracted work for a school renovation / construction consulting assignment at Public School 69 (P.S. 69) located in Jackson Heights, a neighborhood of Queens, NY.
Beacon was retained by a leading Surety Company to help with the P.S. 69 project following the default of the General Contractor hired by NYCSCA to perform extensive masonry and roof repairs to the school's parapets, walls, capstone copings, dome roof, metal flashing and other related work.
Services provided by Beacon on this project included:
- Reviewing the contract to fully understand the contract workscope
- Evaluating work done and estimating cost to complete the full contract workscope
- Reviewing subcontractor and vendor contracts and payments
- Putting together a bid package to solicit completion contractor bids
- Assisting in the selection of a completion contractor
- Providing Construction Management services
- Maintaining close communications between the Completion Contractor, the Surety and the NYCSCA
- Assisting in review of project change orders and funds control
Beacon's involvement in the project helped to ensure the project's completion in the most efficient manner possible following the default of the GC. Below are some photos from the parapet, roof, and overall masonry repairs done on the project.
