Mills Construction pitches local experience and lower overhead in CMAR bid
Summary
Mills Construction told the Colman‑Egan board it is a local contractor with extensive regional experience, self-perform capabilities and a focus on minimizing overhead to lower costs. The firm emphasized local subcontractor networks and communication practices.
Randy Hanson, president of Mills Construction, told the Colman‑Egan School District board that Mills has been in business for about 77 years and that its local footprint reduces overhead costs. Hanson said Mills often self‑performs work to control schedule and cost and argued that the company’s size and repeated local relationships yield strong subcontractor turnout and competitive bids.
Jacob Hansen, the Mills project manager who said he would be dedicated to the job through preconstruction and construction, described early site coordination and the firm’s focus on community engagement. Greg Casner, the on‑site supervisor, described daily logs, site safety and on‑site inspection routines. The firm referenced past local projects (including Brookings High School components) and offered a value‑engineering approach to stay within budget.
