The work of these delivery orders includes exterior rehabilitation, masonry & roof repairs, painting and plastering, floor finishes, emergency structural repairs, light replacement, and the correction of miscellaneous building department violations. This contract serves to illustrate Volmar’s project management ability in occupied facilities and in emergency situations. In addition to schools in Manhattan and the Bronx, the BOE requested Volmar to perform work in Queens and Brooklyn as JOC contractors in those boroughs were unable to manage the large volume of delivery orders. The BOE increased Volmar’s maximum contract value from $16,000,000 to $21,000,000 as a result of its exemplary performance. Its success stands as testimony to a true partnering atmosphere between Volmar management and Board of Education representatives.
