The Associated General Contractors of Ohio hosted the 2009 Build Ohio Awards Gala on Friday, November 13, 2009, at the Hilton Columbus. The awards program recognizes members of the AGC of Ohio for excellence in construction. Bostleman entered The Toledo Zoo’s Nature’s Neighborhood Project in the category of “New Construction Under $7 Million”. Although we did not bring home the first place bronze trophy, we are still very proud of our second place honor. Congratulations to Ron Hanna (Senior Project Manager), Aaron Daman (Project Manager), and Joe Moser (Superintendent) on a job well done!Nature’s Neighborhood meant more to Bostleman than just another construction project. Bostleman truly became part of the Zoo’s team, attending the presentations for architect selection and ensuring the needs of every critter, curator, keeper, department operational entity, governmental authority, and visitor would be satisfied. The details on this project ran the gamut from a decade of future bond issue cash flow projections, right down the specific humidity/temperature requirements that needed to be maintained in the ant colony exhibit.
Awards aside, the true satisfaction for Bostleman is our role in the success of the Nature’s Neighborhood project where kids of all ages can play, splash, jump, climb and crawl, while building childhood memories at the Zoo that they will never forget.
On a related note, Bostleman congratulates Mosser Construction on their first place Build Ohio award on the Savage Arena Renovation, a project in which Bostleman played an important role as Construction Consultant.
