Best Government/Public Building: Goose Creek Correctional Facility Required Tight Sequencing
Working in Alaska's harsh winters always provides challenges, but so does working without a firm contract in place. Anchorage-based Neeser Construction Inc. took on that risk with the Goose Creek Correctional Center in Wasilla, Alaska, for three months in an effort to reduce costs on the project and help secure funding.
"We see this as a risk-reward decision that is frequently necessary to keep a good project moving forward," says Gary Donnelly, Neeser projects administrator. "If we did not take the risk, the Goose Creek Correctional Center project may not have come to fruition."
