16th Annual DBIA – Upper Midwest Region Design-Build Project Award
The Design-Build Institute of America, Upper Midwest Region, has chosen to recognize their First Place Project of the year, the TH52 Zumbrota to Cannon Falls Design-Build project at its 16th Annual Awards Ceremony. The TH52 Design Build Team includes MnDOT District 6, KLJ Engineering, and the prime contractor Mathiowetz Construction Company of Sleepy Eye.
The MCC team, along with KLJ, utilized their expertise and understanding of the design-build process, embracing the ability to provide innovative solutions through Alternative Technical Concepts (ATCs). The ATCs they provided optimized the preliminary design and created a truly innovative approach to construction which reduced costs to the State, while increasing quality and constructability. Overall, the design and construction were completed on schedule, as well as within budget. The team at Mathiowetz Construction was led by Dave Domm, Randy Shoen and Brian Krzmarzick.
The Upper Midwest Region of the Design-Build Institute of America is proud to sponsor an annual awards program in recognition of regional project teams that exemplify principles of interdisciplinary teamwork, innovation, and problem-solving that characterize design-build delivery. Winning projects are honored for the advanced and innovative application of total integrated project delivery and finding unique solutions for project challenges.
