Published at | Updated at
IDAHO FALLS — The Idaho Falls Auditorium District has chosen Idaho Falls companies Bateman-Hall/Hogan as the general contractor for the Idaho Falls Event Center.
Bateman-Hall/Hogan was one of four firms that were invited for interviews, according to a news release. Bateman-Hall/Hogan’s experience, relationships, and personal commitments impressed the selection committee.
“We are delighted to offer the CM/GC contract to Bateman-Hall/Hogan,” said Cindy Ozaki, board chairwoman and executive director of United Way of Idaho Falls and Bonneville County. “Their qualifications make them the best option for the Idaho Falls Event Center.”
The general contractor process is broken down into two contract phases. The first contract phase and the design phase allows the contractor to work as a team member with the architects and the project owner to offer new innovations, best practices, identify risks, provide costs projections and refine the project schedule.
Once the design phase is complete, the contractor and project owner negotiate the gross maximum price (GMP) for the construction contract. If all parties are in agreement with costs then the second contract phase, the construction phase, is kicked off and construction begins.
“Bateman-Hall Hogan is pleased to be selected as the Construction Manager/General Contractor for preconstruction and construction services for the IFAD’s new events center. We are excited to work with the IFAD Board and the many community leaders and members who will be part of this great endeavor,” Bateman-Hall co-owner Aaron Johnson said in a news release. “This community has been such a great place for us to work over the last 40 years. With Bateman-Hall and Hogan’s local knowledge and deep experience with this type of work, we are confident that this project will be very successful.”
