Two CPN Members are Teaming

The Team of Davie Construction and HICAPS has recently been awarded a $1.3 million dollar US Army Corps of Engineers' project at Lakes Philpot and W. Kerr Scott Dam. The Project consists of the demolition and replacement of five lake shower houses and the renovation of one. The work also includes the construction of two new sanitary drip fields, filters and pump stations. Notice to proceed and completion dates have been staggered to perform most of the onsite work in the fall/winter/spring of 2010 through 2011. The general contracting experience and knowledge of the local subcontractor base of Davie Construction and the federal contracting and project management expertise of HICAPS have made this partnership a competitive and viable team in the federal market.
