they can't just bring in a GC and say "build our basketball facility" .. somebody has to design it, and manage it, too

The design phase is complete.

i assume total cost of construction .. but it's possible they contracted the design independently | #9 | ||

design costs, materials, associated labor, subcontractors, mgmt costs, admin costs, other expenses

This isn't a design-build contract. As such, the design was not included in the bids opened today. As someone said, Foil Wyatt is the architect. The GC
selected will be responsible for construction and, I assume, project management.

foil wyatt's shit all looks the same... anybody that had a hand in designing that spaceship we have for an alumni center ought to be banned from campus..
although hunter henry himself preferred the futuristic design..

The university administration at the time deserves every bit of the blame for the monstrosity that is the Henry Hunter Center. I understand Henry Hunter
dangled millions of dollars in front of us with strings attached and we really needed a new alumni space, but at some point you have to draw the line on how
far you're willing to whore yourself out for the lead gift on a project. There is a reason most universities have standards for the exterior appearance
and finish for any building built on their campus.

I don't know for sure but i'd guess Jesco will end up winning the bid. They just did the academic building and win a lot of bids involving State
athletics.

Neshoba County nearly had to file a lawsuit against them after they renovated the courthouse. Damn thing kept leaking and ruined much of the drywall and
woodwork. After NC investigated it was a design flaw that didn't allow for proper roof drainage. Same thing happened with the library renovation there.
their 17 ups cost the county lot of extra cash.

In politics this called a kickback, but on campus it's called supporting your alma mater.
