Subcontractor selection + participation
Subcontractor Selection
Our team’s make-up reflects our careful approach to selecting the right design partners for our projects. Consultants for the Tarrant County EDS projects were carefully chosen for their specific expertise and long, proven working relationships with members of the FGMA design team. When chosing consultants, we focus on the following attributes, seeking to maximize the benefits we can bring to our client:
• Strong technical expertise
• Higher education experience
• Familiarity with the institution
• Past experience with Crossland/FGMA Team
• Collaborative design approach
Coordination of Consultants
Our process for managing consultants involves consistent and clear communication throughout each phase of the project. While current technologies, such as BIM, Revit and Zoom enhance the design team’s ability to better communicate and coordinate our work effort on an ongoing basis throughout the project, we rely primarily on three strategies to truly integrate our team: The Work Plan, Face-toFace Meetings, and Weekly Round-Up.
SUBCONTRACTOR MANAGEMENT
1. The Work Plan
At the commencement of each design phase – and in consultation with Tarrant County ESD and its consultants – Crossland/FGMA will prepare a detailed Work Plan for the upcoming phase. This work plan, which will be refined and updated as the design develops, identifies and coordinates tasks and activities with key milestone dates. Each team member is provided with a clear understanding of both the overall arc of the project’s development as well as the role that each discipline must play to fully address the challenges and opportunities that come along in every project.
The Work Plan also benefits Tarrant County ESD, by providing information on upcoming topics and discussions that will require key decision makers to come to the table in order to maintain the project’s momentum.
2. Face-to-Face Meetings
The Crossland/FGMA Team will lead a regular schedule of in-person meetings with Tarrant County ESD stakeholders to maintain a high level of communication that gives each person on the team the opportunity and responsibility to fully engage in the collaborative process that is a common denominator for all successful projects.
3. Weekly Round-up
Each Friday, our Project Manager will issue an email to the Project Team providing a summary of the past week’s development, the anticipated tasks and activities for the upcoming week, critical issues requiring attention, and a reminder of upcoming meetings and milestones.

SAFETY PLAN
Crossland’s safety plan focuses on Education, Engineering, and Enforcement. Employees receive site-specific orientations, daily planning, and weekly meetings. Safety gear is required, with regular drug/alcohol testing. Subcontractors are pre-qualified. Drivers complete Smith Driving Classes, and vehicles are GPS-monitored. Incentives include Safety Vacation Days, $250 for hazard reports, and rewards for perfect inspections. Milestones like two million hours without a Lost Time Accident are celebrated. Scan the QR code below for our full safety manual.
Crossland’s national award-winning education program includes a state registered apprenticeship for carpenters and ironworkers, with 40 hours of annual training for all employees. Training includes crane, rigging, signaling, ACI certifications for concrete crews, SWPPP stormwater certifications for superintendents, CPR and First Aid for onsite leadership, and AWS certification for welders. Fall protection, confined space safety, excavation safety, flagger procedures, and MSHA training are provided as needed. All employees receive OSHA 10 training, offered free to subcontractors, and superintendents must complete OSHA 30 and annual OSHA refreshers. Forty best practices covering safety, quality, and
production are continuously taught, with employees graded on their abilities. Foremen, F.E., superintendents, and project managers take Lean and leadership training. Drivers complete an 8-hour Smith Driving Class on defensive driving.
At Crossland Construction, safety is our top priority. Our current EMR is 0.34, consistently below industry averages, reflecting our proactive safety culture. Through rigorous training, site-specific safety plans, and strict compliance with OSHA standards, we ensure a safe work environment. Verifiable documentation is available upon request.

Employees can stop unsafe work and earn a $1,000 gift card for reporting lifethreatening situations or near misses. Monthly safety audits ensure compliance, with consequences for noncompliance, including fines for subcontractors, donated to charity. A 95% DBO2/ Predictive Solutions Score is required for projects, and a strong safety culture is maintained across all work sites.
ASSESSMENT
Connect with the Owner early, plan logistics for community traffic, and maintain open communication. Address key issues like smoking and jobsite cleanliness during onboarding.
• Exceptional Safety Record
Our EMR of 0.34 is well below the industry average of 1.0, demonstrating a long-standing track record of safe jobsite practices and injury prevention.
• Lower Risk to Your Project
A low EMR reflects fewer incidents, claims, and disruptions - meaning your project is less likely to face delays, liability concerns, or unexpected issues related to jobsite safety.
• Reduced Costs Through Lower Insurance Premiums
Safer contractors carry lower workers’ compensation insurance costs, which can lead to savings within general conditions and reduce the Owner’s exposure to risk-based costs.
• A Culture of Accountability and Care
Our field teams are trained, empowered, and held to high safety standards. Safety is not just a checklist - it’s built into our planning, sequencing, and daily jobsite management.
BUILD A PLAN COMMUNICATE
Set up and monitor barriers, communicate construction zones, avoid deliveries during peak traffic times, schedule high-risk work accordingly, and maintain a clean jobsite.
Communicate openly, update on safety and changes, speak with the community, provide monthly progress updates, and attend community meetings if needed.
Fire stations are the backbone of a community. They have an essential job to provide safety and security to our neighborhoods, and their facilities should reflect that. Building quality fire stations that enable staff to train and perform at their peak is imperative.
Crossland has a vast portfolio of experience in this area and will bring a level of expertise and knowledge that will guarantee a successful project.

Crossland Construction is proud to partner with the City of Justin, Texas, on Fire Station No. 2—the City’s first ground-up municipal facility. Funded by the 2023 bond election, this milestone project addresses the growing emergency response needs of the western sector. Strategically located off FM 407, the station will reduce response times across the City’s 75-square-mile coverage area and provide critical resources to protect residents.
As general contractor, Crossland is leveraging its extensive municipal and public safety experience to deliver a future-ready, highperformance fire station. The facility will include multiple apparatus bays, firefighter living quarters, dayroom and kitchen spaces, and fully equipped operational zones—built for safety, functionality, and longterm durability. Our preconstruction efforts brought the project in under budget, and construction is underway.
This project reflects Crossland’s commitment to building communityfocused infrastructure that supports first responders and enhances the lives of residents. We are honored to collaborate with the City of Justin and FGMA Architects on this essential public facility.

Unique 2 Story Station for the City of Mansfield
The new Mansfield Fire Station No. 1 stands as a hands-on, collaborative effort between Crossland and Martinez Architects, built to support a growing city and its first responders. Our team and Martinez Architects worked side by side to deliver a twostory, nearly 20,000-square-foot station on Walnut Creek Drive. The facility features four drive-through apparatus bays, with living, common, and office spaces above, plus a large fitness room and covered outdoor exercise area in the single-story wing. Together, we explored multiple design options—including a four-story concept with Fire Administration relocation—to ensure the final solution fit the site and the city’s needs.
Throughout construction, we partnered closely with the City of Mansfield and the Fire Department, keeping communication strong and decision-making on site. The new station honors the legacy of the original Station No. 1 with historical features, while providing advanced spaces that help first responders serve the community more effectively. We’re proud to build smarter, deliver cost certainty, and provide a facility truly built around your priorities.
The new Flower Mound Fire Station 6 is designed as a collaborative facility that includes a 4-bay area for 10 fire fighters and officers, battalion chief quarters, a police sub-office, a community room, town offices, and reading kiosks. The design focuses on firefighter health and wellness while ensuring efficient emergency responses. Sleeping areas are strategically located near the bay, and air locks are incorporated to prevent contamination, along with locker vestibules to minimize light and sound infiltration.

He has completed 80 fire station designs throughout his career. Doug is also fully versed working with multiple construction delivery methods.
Doug’s current work includes managing design for the the City of Justin Fire Station No. 2. The new Station No. 2 is currently in design and is scheduled to open in early 2026 and will include a 30-person EOC/training room, offices for the Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief, as well as other administration support functions. All of which will double as an ICC 500 Storm Shelter. Some of this space will be repurposed when a new Station 1 is constructed in the future.
The exterior is composed primarily of brick and stone with a standing seam metal roof. Cast stone and wood-look metal panels accentuate the exterior design. Four doubledeep drive-thru apparatus bays with high-speed four-folding doors will house the station apparatus. The station adheres to the current Hot Zone Design strategies, including proper separation of contamination zones as well as decontamination shower/toilet rooms and full decontamination areas to serve fire fighters when returning from calls (“shower within the hour”) or maintaining PPE.
Doug’s passion for municipal design and expert knowledge helps him lead and support municipalities and fire departments throughout the building design and construction process. He is committed to providing exceptional, functional and resilient solutions for his clients.

3. Methodology, Techniques, and Tools – Design Review + Cost Estimating
At Crossland, we view preconstruction as a critical partnership phase, not just a pricing exercise. Our methodology is built around collaboration, transparency, and data-driven decision making to protect the project budget while supporting the design team’s vision.
Design Review Process
We conduct structured design review workshops that bring together our entire preconstruction team, the assigned project manager, superintendent, MEP coordinator, and subject-matter experts.
The team breaks into discipline-focused groups (civil, architectural, structural, MEP, technology, life safety) and performs a page-by-page and detail-by-detail review of the documents.
Observations are captured in a formal constructability log and returned to the design team for coordinated resolution, ensuring the published documents are as complete and coordinated as possible.
We proactively look for opportunities to clarify phasing, reduce scope gaps, and anticipate coordination issues before construction, minimizing risk and helping the Owner avoid costly change orders.
Cost Estimating Process
We maintain detailed cost history from comparable public-safety facilities to benchmark against current market conditions.
Early budgets are built using parametric estimating tools, historical unit cost data, and up-todate subcontractor input to test the evolving design against the project budget.
As the design progresses, we develop detailed line-item estimates using digital quantity takeoff software, and we reconcile scope against current market pricing with live trade contractor feedback.
Escalation, long-lead material costs, and supply chain conditions are closely tracked and
We’ve used this approach for
4. Team Relationship with the Owner and Architect
We see ourselves as a trusted advisor to both the Owner and design team, working shoulderto-shoulder to align scope, quality, and budget.
We coordinate regular milestone estimate reviews with Martinez Architects, jointly reviewing scope clarifications, drawing updates, and VE opportunities.
We participate in OAC (Owner-Architect-Contractor) meetings with clear documentation, decision logs, and cost models so the team stays fully aligned.
Our team also routinely shares lessons learned from similar fire station projects — for example, around alerting systems, bi-fold apparatus bay doors, and public lobby security — to help guide scope choices.
5. Approach to DEVELOPING A REASONABLE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE
We believe the best strategy to protect the full program scope is early, consistent engagement.
We identify scope risk areas early and flag them for prioritization, so design resources can focus on critical features and avoid costly redesigns.
Throughout design, we run target-value design workshops where scope adjustments, material alternatives, and sequencing changes can be evaluated against budget in real time.
Once sub-bid packages are ready, we aggressively engage the trade contractor market to maximize bid-day coverage (targeting 5–10 bidders per trade) and leverage competitive pricing.
During GMP development, we remain transparent about allowances, contingencies, and any buyout opportunities, working with the Owner to keep all stakeholders informed and confident that the budget is achievable.
HOW IT WORKS
DESIGN + PLANNING MEETING PROCESS
In short, Crossland delivers a disciplined, transparent, and collaborative design review and estimating process, rooted in deep public-safety project experience, proven tools, and a team-based approach that aligns Owner, Architect, and Contractor around a shared budget goal.Upon selection, our project team has a kickoff meeting with you. We’ll listen closely to your wants and needs and pull from our past experience to make sure your project is set up for success and getting the best value for your construction dollar.
We continue to attend design meetings until construction documents are finalized. Our job is to protect your vision while offering the best solutions for your budget. Keeping safety, cost, schedule, and quality all top of mind, we will make sure we help steer the project in the right direction.
It’s common to update the budget at three design phases, at a minimum: schematic, design development, and construction document. We also can update the budget in real-time if there are design changes made. Everything is completely transparent, so the entire team understands direct construction costs and indirect costs like fees, general conditions, and project requirements. In addition, we also present a total program budget, including the soft cost, to ensure the team fully understands the cost breakdown.
The project manager and superintendent are both involved during the preconstruction phase to help ensure the project is set up for success, making a smooth, easy transition into construction.

To Whom It May Concern:
It is with great pleasure that I write this reference letter for FGMArchitects, who has been serving as the consulting architecture firm on the City of Justin Fire Station project. Additionally, FGMArchitects worked with the City Council in 2022 to develop an assessment of our community’s Volunteer Fire Department.
The City of Justin is in a exceptional situation as we are actively developing a plan to transition from a Volunteer Fire Department to a City Department. The work by FGMArchitects assessment project paved the way for a constructive and meaningful partnership between the Volunteer Fire Department and City officials during this time.
From the onset, FGMArchitects has demonstrated a deep understanding of our community volunteer Fire Department’s and the City’s need for the assessment. Their collaborative approach gained the trust and respect of our Volunteer Fire Department Their team took the time to carefully listen to City Council and Volunteer Fire Department’s needs and this project set the tone for the current Fire Station project.
Given that we are transitioning the Volunteer Fire Department, that this project is the first of its kind for the City of Justin, and that it is going to be a crown jewel for our community , FGMA has provided insightful and novel solutions to address our functional and aesthetic concerns. The firm’s attention to detail and commitment to quality are evident in every aspect of their work. Their work with City Council also included educational opportunities for the community, staff, and public officials, regarding project scope options, design and construction schedules, and anticipated project costs.
The design that FGMArchitects has developed for the fire station will not only be highly functional and tailored to the specific needs of our firefighters, it will also complement our community and pay honor to its rich farming heritage. They have incorporated sustainable building practices and innovative technologies that will serve our community well for many years to come.
I highly recommend FGMArchitects for any future architectural projects. Their expertise, creativity, and dedication make them an invaluable partner in any construction endeavor.
If you have any questions or would like further information, please feel free to contact me at (817)680-1422 or jgreenwood@cityofjustin.com.
