Allegheny Valley School District

February 14, 2012

To Whom it May Concern,

It is with great satisfaction that I write this letter to describe and commend the design and build of the nearly 20 million dollar addition and renovation that was completed on Springdale Jr-Sr High School. The building underwent renovations of the music and art suite, gymnasium, multi-purpose room and fitness center addition, and a state-of-the-art two-story classroom addition. The collaboration between our architect and general contractor allowed for the successful completion of a wonderful product that will benefit the students, teachers, staff, and community of the Allegheny Valley School District for years to come.

R.A. Glancy & Sons, Inc., the general contractor on the project, worked closely with the District throughout the entire project. Like any major construction project, decisions needed to be made throughout the process to improve the form and function of the renovation and additions. The guidance of Tim Shannon from R.A. Glancy & Sons, Inc., his crew, as well as a variety of sub-contractors allowed the District to make educated decisions throughout the build to produce an amazing structure. Occupancy of the various locations throughout the building took place in phases as the areas were finished at different times.

The building looks fantastic and is being utilized by nearly 50 staff members and 500 students on a daily basis. The new space was built well and is holding up to the daily abuse that a public building endures. The great design and quality build allowed for improved educational space, therefore, improved educational experiences for our students.

Should you require any further information regarding the design or build of the renovation and addition of Springdale Jr-Sr High School, please do not hesitate to contact me at 724-274-8100.

Sincerely,

Joshua J. Weaver

Dear Mr. Glancy:

I am pleased to write this letter for your use as reference material. I have served as Richland Township Manager for over 28 years, and have been responsible for administering numerous types of public construction contracts. My experience R.A. Glancy and Sons came from your company being the successful low bidder on the general construction contract for the new Richland Township municipal building. The municipal building. The municipal building project entailed for separate contracts amounting to $3,814,000.

During the construction process your project manager and team of employees took direct responsibility for the project and ensured that the work was completed properly and without delay. I personally appreciate the high degree of vigilance both you and Rob Glancy, Jr. maintained to coordinate the work of the multiple prime and subcontractors. It is not an overstatement to say that employees of Glancy & Sons, on a daily basis, help to solve problems both big and small which inevitably arise on a construction project of this magnitude. The professionalism demonstrated by you and your staff speak well for you as individuals and reflect admirably on the image of your company. Your diligent and conscientious approach to your work is one of the main reasons why our building was opened on time and on budget.

For all of these reasons I would recommend your company to any organization which is seeking professional construction services for projects similar to ours. If any persons you share this letter with have further questions or require additional information they should feed free to contact me.

RE: Osborne Elementary School
Quaker Valley School Distrct

To Whom It May Concern:

Our firm, Eckles Architecture and Engineering, was responsible for the architectural design of the Osborne Elementary Project which was constructed and completed in August of 2007. R.A. Glancy
& Sons was the General Contractor for the project. The school project was a renovation and addition of the original 1970’s era building. The original building area was 64,600 SF and the additions added 30,560 SF.

The Quaker Valley School District had a vision which required sensitivity to the surrounding community and felt strongly that the project include design references that would make the project unique to the area Outwardly, the resulting design concepts included outdoor community play areas with a fanciful theme for kids, and an exterior image that reflected the quality period neighborhoods of the area.

The project interior scope was challenging to design and build. An Arts & Crafts motif was used, along with a Nature Trail theme, to provide color and imagenery for the students. The entire interior layout was revised for a modern educational program delivery. Most of the interior walls were removed or modified significantly. R.A. Glancy & Sons involvement was key to the project’s successful completion. They found ways to efficiently phase the construction in order to meet the difficult construction schedule. Their attention to the construction detailing and finishing was superb and went a long way to making the school a beautiful and long-lasting building for the community.

On the day that Osborn Elementary School opened and had its first classes of students, it was evident that something unique and important had taken place. A community had come together to craft an improvement for many years to come. A highly skilled team of experts had come together to create an excellent building for kids. A school district with vision, Architect with solutions and Builder with expertise all helped to design and construct a great school that will stand the test of time for the Quaker Valley community.

Sincerely yours,

Their on-site personal were able to effectively and accurately coordinate the efforts of all of those prime contractors to achieve the end goal of constructing an amazing learning environment for the Mars Community. it was the unstinting efforts of their Project Manager, Gary Guzak, who made this possible.

All submittals were prioritized by the General Contractor in accordance with the project schedule, commented on questions and recommendations for components, limited substitution requests from subcontractors, submitted long lead time items, and items requiring color selection and finishes in a timely manner in order to provide the team enough time for review. In a project of this magnitude severe, questions arise along the way. The General Contractor submitted an RF! with possible solutions to resolve the issue.

Mars Area High School

To Whom it May Concern:

it is my pleasure to write this letter of recommendation on behalf of the general contractor, R.A. Glancy 8:
Sons, that completed the Mars Area High School renovation and expansion project throughout the 2008—
2009 and 2009—2010 school years. There are many attributes that make this general contractor a leader
in the construction industry.

Every school construction project runs the risk of depriving the faculty and students of an environment where
teachers can teach and students can learn. From the very beginning, RA. Glancy & Sons worked closely
with the school administration to ensure that any disruption to the students’ educational experience would
be minimal. At every phase of this project, there was a clear and concise communication plan to
implement the scope of the project. Representatives from this organization developed a close relationship
with school administration, this relationship provided for meaningful collaboration to make this building
project a success.

The goal of every school construction project should be to consider how the form of the building will
translate into functional instructional space. R.A. Glancy & Sons played a key role in this goal by staying
true to the architect’s original design concept. On-site, weekly construction meetings allowed for our
goals, needs, and desires to be communicated. When mid-project changes were considered, RA Glancy
& Sons was able to suggest ideas for achieving the end result we wanted while at the same time
simplifying the task at hand. Throughout the process of construction on our project, R.A. Giancy & Sons
not only delivered the product that we were promised but they kept true to the timeline and stayed within
our budget.

I have to give thanks to R.A. Glancy & Sons project manager, Gary Guzak. Through Gary’s leadership, I
found the construction process to be very enjoyable. Gary exemplifies this company’s highest level of
workmanship, quality, professionalism and integrity. it was refreshing to work with a company that
maintained a “partnership” approach throughout the project.

R.A. Glancy & Sons delivered a wonderful building that the students, staff and community can be proud
of. We expect to get many years of excellence in education as a result of this great facility. I have
nothing but the highest praise for this general contractor.

Sincerely,

Todd J. Kolson
Principal

It is my immense pleasure to write a letter of recommendation to R. A. Glancy & Sons, Inc. for
their exemplary management and craftsmanship associated With the work completed to the Mars
Area High School. As the Mars Area School District’s Superintendent, it was a delight to work
hand-in-hand With their management team throughout the duration of this project. The school
district was very fortunate that they were the contractor Who offered the low bid for this project,

Gary Guzak, R. A. Clancy’s Project Manager, was an adamant professional through all phases of
this project. He efficiently championed the progression of the high school additions and
renovations While coordinating timelines With other prime contractors. His leadership,
construction knowledge and attention to detail were the main reason that this project finished on
time and on budget.

I was very pleased to see specific attention that was put into the safety on this project. On
several occasions When visiting the construction site, I observed the Safety Officer coordinating
safety details With the crew and ensuring the safety of the workers as well as the students of the
high school. The future students of the Mars Area High School Will truly benefit from the
tremendous care and thought put into every detail of the construction process.

Based on my experience With R. A. Glancy, I would highly recommend them for consideration

Dear Mr. Glancy

RA Glancy & Sons, lnc., the General Contractor for the Additions and Alterations to the Springdale Jr-Sr High School, worked hand-in-hand with Canzian/Johnston & Associates LLC (CJA) throughout the project. The work that was performed was professional, expedient, and of excellent quality; CJA is pleased to present RA Glancy & Sons, Inc.

Project Name: Additions and Alterations to the Springdale Jr-Sr High School
Owner’s Name: Allegheny Valley School District

Project Location: Springdale, PA
Construction Cost: $13,584,445
Total Built Area: 42,935 sq ft (new), 127,017 sq ft (Renovation)
Notice to Proceed: December 23, 2009
Completion Date: September 2011
Phasing and Site Logistics

The project consisted of the construction of three (3) separate additions, the construction of a new separate maintenance building, the demolition of an existing wing of the building, alterations to existing remaining portions of the school and would all have to be accomplished while the school remained in service. A complex site with difficult underlying poor soils resulted in extensive earthwork consisting of engineered backfill to depths in excess of nine (9) feet necessary to prepare the site. The first addition would result in a new community-oriented Multi-Purpose addition and would require the relocation of the gas service line to accommodate both the addition and the associated drive and parking lot. As erection of that addition commenced, earthwork would proceed to the preparatory work for the second addition, a two-story classroom addition built to within three (3) feet of an existing occupied wing of the school. The water utility line would also be reconstructed during this phase of the work, a temporary drive provided that would serve the new maintenance building, used for school deliveries during construction. Alterations to existing portions of the school would be compressed into the summer break, drastically reducing the amount of time afforded to those alterations. With the completion of the first two additions, the demolition of an existing school wing could commence, allowing the construction of the third and final addition, a receiving area for the school. The General Contractor successfully balanced these complicated tasks while keeping all the other Prime Contractors moving forward and allowing the school to remain in operation.

Submittals

Submittals were thorough and timely, allowing review and revisions in a timely manner. Substitutions of materials were minimal and regardless of acceptance or rejection, the work remained on schedule and the other trades remained coordinated. Open communications between all parties greatly aided the review process.

Requests for Information

When necessary, the General Contractor provided well reasoned RFI’s allowing a focused response that would allow for continued progress in the fast-paced work. Work was anticipated with enough lead time so that RFl’s would not delay work.

Change Orders

When necessary changes to the work were folded into the construction schedule and while detailed cost breakdowns generated, work proceeded while formal approvals were obtained.

Quality of Work

The General Contractors attention to craftsmanship was well received by the Design Team. Their diligence was engendered in their tradesmen and the end result is a school in which the District takes a great amount of pride. The additions and alterations were a long time in coming for the District and the General Contractor’s hard work, perseverance, coordination skills and logistics all allowed for a successful conclusion to the District’s efforts.

CJA looks with satisfaction at the difficult Construction Services that RA Glancy & Sons, Inc. provided for the District. Should further questions arise regarding the work that the General Contractor provided, please do not hesitate to contact CJA.
