ATHLETIC FIELD IMPROVEMENTS FOR
ALPAUGH HIGH SCHOOL AND NEW
METAL SHADE STRUCTURE AT ALPAUGH
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
football goalposts were also part of the scope. The New Metal
Shade Structure project included the construction of concrete
footings and a 48’-6” x 64’ concrete slab. The scope also included
the installation of an owner-supplied steel shade structure.
The number one challenge on this project was time. With an
owner requested 60 calendar day schedule, we knew building
a project of this size would be a challenge, specifically due to
the procurement period of several items. The booster pump and
sport lighting poles alone typically require long lead times and it
wasn’t long before our concerns came to light. With an August
5th completion date looming, we received information that the
sports lighting poles were projected to be in no earlier than midSeptember and the booster pump in mid-October. Our team met
with the Architect and School District personnel to break the news
and then came up with an alternative plan. The goal would be to
plant rye grass in the fall of 2022 so that the fields could be used
in the winter and early spring while new Bermuda grass would be
planted in the spring.
APC was able to complete extensive
athletic field improvements.
Alpaugh, CA. This project can be named “Quick Hitter 2”. The
Athletic Field Improvement and Metal Shade Structure for
Alpaugh Unified School District bid on May 5, 2022 and despite
being over budget was awarded on May 16, 2022. The contract,
valued at $3,174,000 was executed on May 24th and work started
on June 6, 2022. Another project that took about a month to go
from bid to starting work.
The Athletic Field Improvement Project included the construction
of one softball field with backstops and lighting, one baseball
field with backstops, and lighting and a track and football field
with new sports lighting. The softball and baseball fields included
clay infields and Bermuda turf outfields. The track consisted of
decomposed granite surfacing and the football field had new

CLOVIS COMMUNITY MEDICAL CENTER, PHASE C - EXISTING MAIN ENTRANCE RENOVATION
Clovis, CA. In June of 2020, APC provided a complete civil site package bid to Clark Construction Group for the Clovis Community
Hospital Main Entrance Renovation Project. The scope of the bid included demolition, earthwork, site concrete, seat walls and stone
wall, vehicular pavers, asphalt paving, and site furnishings. Ultimately, APC was awarded a smaller package including the demolition,
asphalt paving, and site furnishings.
The project was extremely difficult, as access to the front of the hospital had to be maintained and the overall footprint was less than
1.5 acres. The scope of work was broken into approximately eight phases and at times there were as many as eight sub trades all
working within the project site at the same time. The addition of project fencing/gates to maintain access to the hospital entrance further
complicated the work.
APC performed this renovation project so well
that our team was assigned additional T&M
work, almost doubling the overall contract
value. Clovis Community Medication Center
Field personnel, led by Jose Flores, worked so well with
the Clark Construction Group that a substantial amount
of T&M work was performed and our contract value
almost doubled from start to finish.
