The City of Augusta has selected Dondlinger Construction as the Construction Manager at Risk (CM@R) for its new Public Works Campus and is now approving the formal CM@R agreement. 95% of cost of work, and general conditions not to exceed $443,212, with the broader project including demolition, site prep, utilities, paving, and four pre‑engineered buildings for streets, parks, solid waste, storage, and staff space. The campus will be financed via Electric Utility transfers and 2025 general obligation bonds, indicating a multi‑million‑dollar overall program even though the total construction GMP is not yet set.This is a decided award for CM@R but signals upcoming trade packages and subs for building systems, site work, utilities, steel buildings, and related services that will flow through Dondlinger. Vendors can position for subcontracting, specialty construction, materials, and follow‑on maintenance once design is finalized and the Guaranteed Maximum Price is established.

Funding comes from Electric Utility contributions (including $930,000 scheduled in 2026) and General Obligation Bonds, Series 2025 authorized by Ordinance 2251.
