TIPS Construction Project Spotlights
Essential Constructs for East Ramapo CSD
Project Overview:
The East Ramapo Central School District launched a major capital improvement project using ARPA funds, focusing on hazardous material removal and ADA upgrades.
Essential Constructs helped expedite a major summer construction project across 13 school buildings, completing over 60 drinking fountains, 30 toilet rooms, nurse’s rooms, and interior renovations. They expedited the work by dividing the 13 school buildings into two phases with multiple contractors working simultaneously. TIPS allowed for coordination and material procurement before budget finalization, avoiding delays common with traditional bidding. All renovations were completed within a single summer, and all buildings reopened on time for the fall.
Quote from Rob Warholic, Essential Constructs Partner:
“It would never have got done without TIPS.”
“The process worked out great. We accomplished a lot of work that would not have been possible under a bidding and procurement process”
