Teri Aplin, School Director, Parker Core Knowledge, said: "From the very start, Stan Ward and Paul Sommers were very responsive to the particular needs of our project. Even though we had a tight time line and budget, the Ward team worked hard to clearly define our needs, establish a project plan that would get the job done on time, and they stayed in close communication with the PCK team responsible for overseeing the project.” | |

Description
Ward Construction Co. was selected as General Contractor through a bid/negotiated process with the Department of Commerce. The 70-year-old, concrete structure needed to have structural repair/preventative measures taken to prolong the life and integrity of the building and to conform to the City of Boulder/NIST aesthetic agreement. Part of the work involved removal and replacement of existing deteriorated structural concrete beams and columns which involved shoring of the existing building and well-planned work to avoid damage to the existing surfaces to remain. This work was accomplished in about 1 month from Ward’s start on the project.
Concurrently with the beam and column replacement, Ward was preparing approximately 11,000 sf of exterior concrete walls and waffle slabs for a cementitious coating application. This preparation included epoxy crack injection. As the project was awarded to Ward latter in the year than ideal, winter protection and heating was provided for much of the 2-coat application (and sealer). The finished product gained accolades from the manufacturer of the coating material and NIST. Also included in the scope of Ward’s work was the repair of concrete columns in the basement of the building.
