Iowa City Veterans Administration Medical Center
Saginaw Contracting is please to once again partner with W. Gohman Construction Co. on the $5.4 million dollar, 3rd Research Building project at the Iowa City Veterans Administration Medical Center in Iowa City, Iowa. We're proud to help this facility better serve the more than 184,000 veterans living in Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois, as they have since 1952.
Entrepreneurs can move from military service to customer service
with help from federal, state and local government agencies.
Military training -- and the work ethic, discipline and perseverance it instills -- can pay off for veterans who go into small business.
Still, enterprising veterans find that small business can be daunting, from getting access to corporate buyers to bidding for government contracts and competing with larger firms for those jobs.
That's when another military lesson -- the value of teamwork -- can make a difference, veteran business owners say. One ally they and other entrepreneurs can turn to is the Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), which helps hundreds of Minnesota companies land millions of dollars in government contracts.
VA Medical Center Upgrades Entire Electrical Distribution
System Campus Wide
W. Gohman Construction Co. has partnered with Saginaw Construction of Duluth, Minnesota to replace the primary electrical distribution system for the entire St. Cloud VA Medical Campus. The $1,983,256 renovation project will take nearly 12 months to complete. The renovation includes constructing a totally new electrical substation and providing new electrical power systems to the entire campus prior to demolition of the old electrical systems. The Federal Government targeted this project for businesses owned by disabled service veterans. Saginaw Construction, as a qualifying business, was selected by the Veterans Administration and partnered with WGCC to provide construction services. Design Electrical Contractors Inc. was selected as the Electrical Subcontractor. WGCC project manager, Mark Wolvert is the project coordinator overseeing all construction activities and anticipates a Spring 2010 completion.
