Niagara Falls City School District

The 2019 Capital Improvement Project at Niagara Falls City School District was comprised of significant work at nine (9) of the district facilities: Abate Elementary, Cataract Elementary, Maple Elementary, Mann Elementary, 79th Street Elementary, Hyde Park Elementary, Gaskill Prep Preparatory, LaSalle Preparatory, and Niagara Falls High School.

The project included a Project Labor Agreement, which was negotiated with significant input and leadership provided by the BCC team. Niagara Falls is a repeat client for the BCC team, having completed successful projects in 2012 and 2015.

The BCC leadership team negotiated Project Labor Agreements (PLA) in 2012 and again in 2018 for separate Niagara Falls CSD capital projects. In both cases, our team worked closely with the School District to capture the real value benefits that PLA’s are meant to capitalize on for the owner. The type of work, the schedule requirements, and the parameters of the project were all part of the negotiating discussions with the unions, with agreeable terms being incorporated into the final language of each PLA.

In 2015, the BCC team completed a $67 million project for NFCSD. Currently, BCC is working with Niagara Falls City School District on the ABOFA (‘A Breath of Fresh Air’) project.
