Judicial Facility - Habersham County, GA
Pond served the Habersham County Board of Commissioners as the County’s Project Manager for the Habersham Judicial Facility project. Funded through SPLOST revenues, this Tier 1 project for the County included approximately 65,000 square feet of new judicial facility, associated site development, and renovation of the existing courthouse.

Pond’s responsibilities included: review of the existing pre-design planning documents; confirmation of a pre-architectural space program; assisting the County with the formation of a selection committee comprised of County representatives; managing separate solicitation/selection process for both the Architect/Engineer (AE) and the CM at Risk; assisting selection committee (as a non-voting member) with the review of written proposals received and the committee’s recommendations for each of the Board of Commissioners; assisting the County with the confirmation/coordination of the scope of work and the final negotiations of these contracts; participation in town hall meetings to share project information with the citizens of Habersham County; periodic review of the documents prepared by the Architect in coordination with the CM at Risk; and monitoring the construction to ensure compliance with the approved Contract Documents.
