VCHS Awards Bids for New Hospital Project

May 13, 2009

At a special board meeting on March 26, 2009, the Valley County Health System (VCHS) Board of Trustees approved the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) proposal from the Design/Builder, TSP, Inc. the firm providing planning, design and construction services for the project. This action authorized the award of the final 17 bid packages for the construction of the new 68,600 SF replacement hospital. Over 90 contractors vied for the 17 contracts and the competition resulted in very favorable bids which will keep the project well within budget. Last fall contracts had been awarded for site work, footing and foundation work and structural steel with the major earthwork being completed before winter set in. At this time the project is ahead of schedule with the footing and foundation work nearly complete and the steel structure being erected. The project is scheduled for completion by October 1, 2010.
