PERMITTING/COST DEVELOPMENT/
SCHEDULING/FUNDING ASSISTANCE

D’Appolonia is experienced with respect to site development permitting issues. We understand regulatory requirements and work with regulators to expedite the permitting process. We frequently prepare bid packages for construction of facilities that we have designed. This may require identification of potential bidders, development of a bid form, preparation and mailing of the bid package, leading pre-bid site visits and meetings, preparation of addenda, evaluation of bids, and recommending a bidder for award of the project. We typically prepare engineer’s construction cost estimates and schedules for site development work. We are also experienced in aiding clients to obtain funding for development projects. These efforts have included funding of projects through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), Community Block Fund Grants, PENNVEST, Pennsylvania Underground Storage Tank Indemnification Fund (USTIF), and federal funding through a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers administered program.



D'Appolonia performed extensive permitting and provided support with funding assistance applications for redevelopment activities at this site.
