Mission Critical assisted Sully-Miller Contracting and Lead Engineer KPFF as the pursuit manager for this Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Emergency Vehicle Operations Center (EVOC) Design-Build contract win.

Mission Critical worked with the Joint Venture of Texas Sterling Construction and Banicki Construction (Texas Sterling-Banicki) and Lead Designer Kimley-Horn to win the Houston Airport System’s $24M Spaceport Development Design-Build contract. Throughout this three-stage procurement, we highlighted Texas-Sterling Banicki’s shared experience and working relationship as strengthened by their shared parent company, Sterling Construction Company. The scope of this aviation project includes the construction of 53,000 square feet of laboratory and office space on a 153-acre site, as well as roadways, parking, water, wastewater, electrical power and distribution, and communications facilities.
The Mission Critical team partnered with Felix Construction, to win this $6.5M Alta Vista Pump Station Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) for the City of Keller, Texas. This competitive, three-phase alternative delivery procurement included a Statement of Qualifications, Statement of Proposal, and extensive preparation for the team interview. Significantly, this project represents Felix’s first alternative delivery pursuit and win in Texas. The project will improve the water / wastewater infrastructure of the City of Keller by expanding the pump station to better meet the City’s water consumption and distribution needs.
San Francisco Public Works procured this $20M Third Street Bridge Rehabilitation project through an alternative delivery Construction Manager At-Risk (CMAR) method. Mission Critical assisted our client, California Engineering Contractors (CEC), to develop a Statement of Qualifications for this single-phase procurement.
Mission Critical was brought on by the Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction Company pursuit team to assist in pursuing the $18.85M I-70 Edwards Spur Road Phase II CMGC project for the Colorado Department of Transportation. The Mission Critical team worked with Ralph L. Wadsworth (RLW) to pursue this two-stage, alternative-delivery, civil infrastructure project and ultimately placed the team on the shortlist amid a competitive field of submitters. The pursuit management scope included the development of a Statement of Qualifications and an intensive interview training process with challenge scenarios. The awarded Phase II project will include road and bridge widening to add a travel lane in each direction, 1-2 pedestrian bridges, installation of a roundabout at a significant intersection, and pedestrian mobility improvements to increase safety.
The Design-Build team of Sully-Miller Contracting and KPFF Engineering, Inc. was awarded the $3.5M Bison Avenue Surface Lot Design-Build project from the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) after a challenging and highly competitive pursuit. This alternative delivery project was procured with a Request for Proposals to anonymously select a best-value contractor. Submitting firms had to remain anonymous and omit any identifying information or experience from their submission. This Design-Build project will provide 1,000 stalls and 20 electric vehicle charging stations for UC Irvine faculty, staff, and students.
The Joint Venture of Myers & Sons Construction and Teichert Construction (Myers-Teichert) won the $15M Sacramento Joint Power Authority (JPA) Capital SouthEast Connector D3 Segment CMGC project. The Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for this project was a brief document set out by the procuring entity Sacramento Joint Powers Authority (JPA), an entity established specifically for this project to represent the several municipalities impacted by the project site. In addition to the openness of the RFQ and the brevity of the submittal, the plans for the project were minimal – roughly 5% complete and accounting only for alignment – leaving the rest for the proposer to determine.
