Case Studies

Case Study 1, Phase 1

95 Lot Residential Subdivision located in Reedley, CA

When we joined the team for this project, vertical construction was well underway, and the subdivision was already 30% built out.  However, land development along the subdivision frontage was still in disarray. 

Within 3 months of securing the contract, our team oversaw the successful bidding of certain portions and execution of repaving of the frontage road, installation of curb gutter and sidewalk, irrigation and landscaping and utility pole removal.

In addition, City Staff requested that the Developer pave an additional portion of the frontage road to be reimbursed by the City.  Our team solicited bids, prepared a comprehensive budget, negotiated the terms of a Reimbursement Agreement with the City of Reedley which was approved by City Council, and have been contracted to manage the project through execution and bond exoneration.   

Case Study 1, Phase 2

95 Lot Residential Subdivision located in Reedley, CA

J Stover Consulting was brought on in the early stages of this process, and worked closely with the Civil Engineer and Joint Trench Consultant to revise the Improvement Plans to address all potential conflicts which were identified during the initial phase. 

Our team prepared a comprehensive bid package and obtain no less than 3 qualified bids from all Land Development trades including demo, grading, wet & dry utilities, concrete, paving, and landscape.  

We are currently contracted to oversee all project management for this project and construction is anticipated to start in Spring 2023.

Case Study 2

99 Lot Residential Subdivision located in Hanford, CA.

When we joined the team, this site was sitting idle with open trenches awaiting utility install.  We completed the utility coordination in order to execute utility installation and bid out wire pull and splice, perimeter walls and common area landscaping.  

After contracts were awarded, we managed all scopes through the wettest winter in the Central Valley in recent memory, to successfully complete all land development tasks including energization before model opening

Case Study 3

182 Lot Residential Subdivision located in Tulare, CA

The first half of this phased community was half-paved when JSC entered into contract to manage completion of the LD.  Though the sleeves had been installed for dry utilities, the water connection was not yet tied in. 

JSC provided the best solution for an intricate water connection, further complicated by incomplete as-built drawings and storm drain installed at similar elevation as the existing waterline, only several feet away. Collaborating with all parties, we agreed on the best solution, gained buy in from all, and completed the tie-in on time.

In addition, we successfully bid out and contracted dry utilities, perimeter and retaining walls, sidewalk grading and common area landscape.  We then managed all Land Development tasks for this project through to completion.

Case Study 4

64 Lot Residential Subdivision located in Kingsburg, CA

An in-tract 2 acre park was included as a condition of approval of the Tentative Map for the subdivision in Kingsburg, CA.  The COAs determined that all costs associated with the park would be reimbursable by the City.  In order to arrive at concrete costs to include in the Reimbursement Agreement, JSC prepared a complete bid package to include all landscaping, irrigation, concrete, playground equipment and signage.  Five qualified bids were received for the project and were submitted to the City of Kingsburg for contractor selection. 

Construction of the park started in June 2023 and is projected to be complete in July 2023.

Case Study 5

105 Lot Residential Subdivision located in Fresno, CA

JSC joined the team very early in this project when the client was in contract to purchase this entitled subdivision on raw land located in West Fresno, CA.  JSC was contracted to prepare a comprehensive bid package and obtain no less than 3 qualified bids from all Land Development trades including clear & grub, grading, wet & dry utilities, concrete, paving, and landscaping.  

A concrete and comprehensive budget was presented to client based on the bid results.  Based on the final budget resulting from the bidding process, the client elected to proceed with purchasing the land.  

Construction is anticipated to start in Summer of 2023.

Case Study 6

100 Lot Residential Subdivision located in Fresno, CA

The client was in contract to purchase this entitled subdivision on raw land in West Fresno, CA.  JSC was contracted to prepare a comprehensive bid package and obtain no less than 3 qualified bids from all Land Development trades including grading, paving, concrete, landscaping, clear and grub, dry and wet utilities.  

A concrete and comprehensive budget was presented to client based on the bid results and informed the client’s decision making during the due diligence period. 

Case Study 7

102 Lot Residential Subdivision located in Kerman, CA

JSC was brought on during the final phase of this project to manage the Final Punchlist process through to bond exoneration.  Our team worked with City Staff to establish a concrete punchlist and worked with existing subcontractors to complete the work associated with their existing contracts.  The only additional construction costs to the client were associated with concrete R&R work that was necessary due to construction equipment during the normal course of construction.  

Case Study 8

61 Lot Residential Subdivision located in Madera, CA

We managed the bidding, contracting and construction of the traffic signal adjacent to the subdivision.  In addition, we managed the successful street reconstruction of all lanes on the adjacent arterial road and oversaw completion of all walls, walks, landscaping and grading.
