The project is located on the existing perimeter roads surrounding and adjacent to the school, which consist of Wilber Street on the west, Vassar Avenue on the north, Allen Street on the east and Lincoln Way West on the south. Project Team APEX will be a prime consultant, and responsible for all construction inspection activities for this project. The inspection team will be led by project Supervisor/Project engineer, Mr. Cody Hepler, with support from two consulting firms, who will be assisting APEX with their construction inspection services. These two partnering firms include Etica Group, Inc. and Abonmarche Consultants, Inc. Etica Group, Inc. will serve as our DBE consulting firm for the project.
