The Oswego Public Library District, in an effort to compensate for the explosive growth of its constituencies in Kendall, Kane and Will counties launched a capital improvement campaign to gain voter approval of a building referendum to construct a second library and to perform renovations to its existing facility. The library district retained the services of Frederick Quinn Corporation (FQC) to provide At-Risk Construction management services. FQC was hired prior to solicitation of the building referendum to provide cost estimating, logistical and referendum support throughout the entire capital improvement process. FQC and the project architect worked together to develop scenarios that allowed the library board to be well positioned for a successful referendum outcome.

In addition to providing construction management services for Prairie Trail School, FQC was instrumental in helping pass a referendum to fund the $20-million construction project. The new 90,000-sq-ft school was built to help replace the flood-prone Gurnee Grade School. For years, the school district has been dealing with regular flooding issues at the old school, and community members would often have to line the building with sandbags to protect it for students. Thanks to the work of FQC and other members of the project team, the referendum passed in November 2010, and construction of the brand new Prairie Trail School started in summer of 2011. Students were transferred to the new building by January 2013.

“ FQC was proactive in meeting our needs and far exceeded our expectations by greatly increasing the scope of work that was able to be completed, while staying under our approved renovation budget. In short, FQC was greatly responsible for getting us a better building than we believed our budget would allow, kept us under budget despite increasing the scope of the renovation, and ensured that the project was completed on time.
