“On a very complicated job, they were very professional and prepared, and completed the project on-time and below cost.” John Spatz, General Manager, DuPage Water Commission

Can you share a bit about the project work that Benchmark completed for you?

Installed a new line to be able to add a new customer and a new city (Bartlett).

What challenges have experts from the Benchmark helped you address?

Super-complicated project (private property, under roadways, open cut, under the river (installed 5 miles of 30” pipe).

The timeframe was challenging too. Bartlett initially decided to go with a different supplier, then had complications as they realized the initial supplier could not perform. The replacement supplier had to meet contract requirements in a shortened-up design and work period.

How did the relationship with you and process work?

Prequalified contractors because of the size of the pipeline and project scope. Ended up with 5-6 candidates, Benchmark had an excellent experience with large water mains.

What outcomes or results from your work with Benchmark have your experienced? (time, cost, quality)

Excellent work, below cost and on-time! Had to manage multiple towns, some of which were not members of the DuPage Water Commission.

What makes Benchmark a good partner to work with?

Easy to work with, very professional, came to project meetings prepared. Also came to meetings with their concerns, open to solutions.
