Foxborough, MA – Maguire Group has been awarded the contract for Owner’s Project Management (OPM) services on the Gardner Police Station/HQ project. Gardner Police Chief Neil Erickson and members of the Police Station Building Committee had narrowed the field of contenders down from nine firms who submitted qualifications to three for interviews. Maguire Group was selected as OPM because its qualifications exceeded the Town’s requirements and presented an approach based on a history of succesful police and fire station projects dating back more than ten years. This approach was what Gardner was looking for to lead the City through the Commonwealth’s complex design and building laws for a new police station. Maguire’s specialty OPM professionals have just the right experience the City sought, having worked on dozens of OPM-related projects in Massachusetts over the past decade. The City estimates a 26,000-SF facility close to the center of the City would serve the Department’s needs for the next 30 years. No final budget has been developed but the project is estimated to cost around $12 million.
Additionally, Maguire Group was selected as OPM for proposed “green” repair projects at the Miscoe Hill School in Mendon.
