Project Overview
Gephart provided design-assist services for the construction of Target Field, the home of the Minnesota Twins that opened in 2010. The 40,000-seat stadium is one of the highest-profile construction projects in the state’s history. Gephart won the job among fierce competition from the best of the best in the commercial contracting industry.
Our Work
Gephart provided design-assist support for the construction of this state-of-the-art stadium. Gephart’s contributions included:
- Early design input and cost savings suggestions which led to more than $3,000,000 in savings
- Early planning and design-assist work to successfully construct the stadium on an extraordinarily tight site — over a major railway and freeway and between existing bridge overpasses
- Commitment to utilize best field personnel and senior management staff
Success
- Encouraged and facilitated participation of disadvantaged business enterprise suppliers and contractors.
- Received a Certificate of Occupancy and substantial completion two months ahead of schedule.
Testimonial
“Gephart Electric competed for the Twins Ballpark Project as an underdog. They represented to Mortenson and the Minnesota Twins that they had the capability and expertise to assist with the completion of the design, provide cost savings ideas and manage the construction of a large and very complicated project. They committed their most senior resources and made personal commitments that the project would be a success. The project turned out to be more complicated than any of us anticipated and yet they managed to exceed our expectations. Mortenson and Gephart have built a relationship of trust and commitment and we look forward to working together on many future projects.”
