August 5, 2007

To: Bethel Church Family,

The Sanctuary Building Committee has been meeting monthly since September 2006. We have heard presentations by and conducted process interviews with the following three construction managers:

Cogun Industries, North Lima Ohio
Cornerstone Construction Management, New Castle PA – % Rick Burkett
McKnight Group, Grove City Ohio

To aide in an accurate evaluation of each company, we sent a response letter that would give us a direct comparison of services and costs. Each facilitator was challenged to answer all questions and give estimates to each phase of the building process.

Phase 1 – Conception (site survey, utilities, permitting) 
Phase 2 – Document and Design (engineered drawings)
Phase 3 – Construction (site management)

From their lack of response, we were able to “sort out” Cogun Industries. We moved forward and scheduled second interviews with Cornerstone and McKnight. Based on their presentations, project experience, response to our interview questions, estimated costs and prayer we are able to make the following recommendation. It is our committee’s formal recommendation that we move ahead with Phase 1 of our building project with the support of Cornerstone Construction Management, under the direction of Rick Burkett.

Respectfully,

Bethel Sanctuary Building Committee
