Bob Moore Construction's Longhorn Harley-Davidson Project Honored by QUOIN / AGC
Motorcycle Dealership Earns 2008 Merit Award from
QUOIN / AGC, Fourth Consecutive Year of Recognition for Texas General Contractor
ARLINGTON,
TEXAS - April 15, 2008 - Bob Moore Construction's Longhorn Harley-Davidson
construction project has received the 2008 Merit Award from QUOIN / AGC.
Completed in 2007, the Longhorn Harley-Davidson Dealership is a 38,000 SF custom-designed building located along I-20 near State Highway 360 in Grand Prairie, Texas. The building's interior is finished in a rustic Texas design, with stone, wood and chemically-distressed corrugated metal accents and Lone Star décor throughout the building. While the décor is old, the building features the newest in retail technologies. The main showroom features multiple LCD panels that show video clips and product information that are downloaded by satellite from Harley-Davidson's corporate offices every day. The dealership's service center includes a parts warehouse, 25 independent service bays, a wash rack and a computerized diagnostics system.
The building was submitted to the annual Summit Awards program for QUOIN, the north and east Texas chapter of AGC, in the category of Design-Build projects under $10 million. Criteria for judging included difficulty in construction, unusual construction techniques, final appearance and quality, timeliness of completion and safety. Longhorn Harley-Davidson was the only project to receive a Merit Award in this category.
"We're honored that our Longhorn Harley-Davidson project received this award," said Phillip Bell, President of Bob Moore Construction. "This award makes 2008 the fourth consecutive year Bob Moore Construction has received formal recognition at QUOIN's annual Oscar Night Banquet, which is also very exciting for us. Curt Hellen and the project team did a tremendous job of driving this project to completion in spite of losing 20% of their construction days to inclement weather. Even with all the lost days, the building was completed on time, which was crucial to our clients, and it looks great inside and out."
"I'm
very pleased to see this building getting recognition from AGC," said Curt
Hellen, Senior Project Manager for Bob Moore Construction. "Even with the
challenges presented by the weather, the building turned out beautifully. The
interior is particularly dramatic, making this project a real showcase for Longhorn
and for us too. Alfred and Maritia Keeling with Longhorn were great to work with
and their excitement about the project made it a pleasure to do. Our subs really
stepped up to deliver this building on time, and this award is recognition of
their hard work as well."
Bob Moore Construction was also honored at QUOIN's Oscar Night when Dino Sideris was named 2008 Safety Director of the Year.
The award was presented at QUOIN's Oscar Night on April 8, 2008 at the Gaylord Texan Hotel in Grapevine, Texas.
