For 10 years the IBR has recognized Idahos Top Projects using a
very rudimentary metric: the projects that cost the most were award
winners. It was a simple method, but not the most fair. After all, while
every construction project has a starting and ending date and final
cost, each project has a bigger story to tell.
So this year, for the first time, and with the help of a dozen industry
experts, the IBR is recognizing Idahos Top Projects for their scope
of work, adherence to timelines and budgets, design and innovation,
overcoming obstacles and challenges, and overall quality.
The selection committee painstakingly reviewed our 38 finalists.
The scores were tabulated and averaged. The project with the highest
score over all the others is the 2015 Top Project of the Year. The other
top scoring projects are first, second and third place winners in three
categories private, public and infrastructure/transportation. The
selection committee also awarded a number of honorable mentions
and finalists.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are proud to present to you: IBRs Top
Projects for 2015.

First Place
The program for the new building was simple: a classroom for 30+
students and lecturer, (3) offices, a flex
space or social space with kitchenette,
restrooms, a seasonal sales office for
public outreach, and an exterior deck
for student and public gatherings.
Initial site visits at the University
of Idaho Pitkin Nursery revealed hoop
houses, metal sheds and stacks of
planter boxes. Beginning with the idea
of a wood box floating on the undulating sea of the Palouse, the design team
set out to stitch together the program,
landscape and the materiality of Idaho
forest products. The college wanted to
extend their public outreach in addition to nursery research functions.
The outstretched ramps and decks
reach out to the landscape and invite
the public and students to the building.
The sales office was pulled through the
wood screen as a way to express itself
beyond the functions of classroom,

with normal landfill operations. Another was designing the new scrubber so that it worked seamlessly
with its connections to the incoming
gas collection system, the downstream flares, and the downstream
landfill gas-to-energy generators.
There was no room for budget
changes once the project began. The
project was awarded as a lump sum
design-build contract and required
careful, constant communication
and coordination between the
county, SCS, and CH2M Hill. The
design-build approach allowed for a
fast-track schedule with SCS delivering on parallel paths, completing
design and construction for basic
site features, such as pads, foundations, and utility tie-ins, while the
equipment subcontractor, MV Technologies, completed detailed design
of the scrubber components. An
almost finished site was then ready
for the scrubber tanks when they
were delivered, requiring only final
connection of piping and electrical
systems. The project was completed
on time and on budget.

HD Fowler Company
This project was a new construction
office and warehouse for H.D. Fowler
Company, a utility piping reseller. The
project included a 9,600-square-foot
metal building warehouse attached to a
two-story 7,000-square-foot administration
building. The administration building
was constructed out of CMU block and
has decorative steel shading devices on
the east side of the structure. A steel
canopy adorns the east faade of the
administration building, framing the
entrance and acting as a way finder for
customers, directing them to the lobby.
The site design includes a 6-foot tall
honed faced CMU wall that will act as a
fence on the north side of the property.
