Protecting Senate Park
Conti Federal designed, constructed and installed the advanced security system, implementing these park improvements on time and under budget. Before any construction began, Conti Federal’s team proposed modifications to the contract documents, enabling $65,000 of cost savings in the design-build proposal.
