Mills Construction pitches local presence and lower overhead as cost advantage
Summary
Mills Construction told the board it is a 77-year-old local firm that emphasizes local subcontractor networks, self-performance on scopes of work and lower overhead to reduce project cost; Mills said it would dedicate a project manager and on-site supervisor to the work.
Randy Hanson, president of Mills Construction, told the board his firm is locally based and focused on delivering cost‑effective projects by limiting overhead and performing portions of the work with company crews. "I'm Randy Hanson. I currently serve as the president of Mills Construction," he said, and described a team that would stay local to the district and remain engaged throughout preconstruction and construction.
Mills emphasized weekly coordination, detailed site layouts and extensive local subcontractor outreach to drive competitive pricing; the team pointed to prior work in Madison and Brookings and said their approach can lower fees passed to the owner. Mills also described its fee structure and preconstruction activities as separate from reimbursables and said additional charges would require an approved change order.
