USPBJV team touts fast schedule and courthouse‑focused design

Springfield City Intergovernmental State and Federal Relations Committee · August 14, 2026

Summary

USPBJV representatives said their design team (Elkus Manfredi, HDR, Suffolk) and a compressed construction schedule would deliver a modern courthouse optimized for circulation and security, with roughly 122 secured parking spaces and other site details.

Representatives for USPBJV framed their bid around an aggressive delivery schedule and a design team with courthouse planning and construction experience. Tom Dennis said the team moved from a 33‑month plan to a 28‑month schedule and "actually did preliminary steel drawings, and we did the electrical drawings to make sure that we were ready, if designated, to start the clock".

Dennis described the team’s approach to circulation, security and on‑site parking (about 122 secured spaces) and said they selected architects and builders to achieve both speed and courtroom functionality. He emphasized the team’s readiness to start long‑lead procurement quickly if designated.
