TYPE OF SERVICES OFFERED
Rice & Gardner offers a complete set of services focused around engineering, commissioning, management, and
construction support to clients in Houston and throughout the state of Texas. Our experienced team includes top
engineers, LEED Accredited Professionals, program managers, facility assessment and commissioning experts, and
other dedicated professionals. It is this diversity of our service types that allows us to provide our clients a full
complement of services carried out by experts whose knowledge and talents best match our client’s business strategies
and objectives. With this team based approach, every project benefits from individual expertise while leveraging the
collective knowledge of the entire firm. Rice & Gardner is capable and available to provide the following services to
Galena Park ISD as necessary:

Program Management
Rice & Gardner has extensive experience in successfully managing large bond and capital improvement programs with
multiple projects for clients throughout the Houston, Texas area. Building owners who need new building or renovated
spaces need to know, with a fair degree of certainty, how much their project will cost and when the facility will be
ready for occupancy. Our program managers take over much of the day-to-day decision making and management to
ensure the owner’s needs are being met with regard to budget and project timelines.

Our program management experience includes
overall management programs for numerous facility
renovations and new construction projects. Our
services also include developing scopes of work,
program budgets, program schedules, estimates,
management and cost control reports, and
administration of design and construction contracts
on behalf of our project owners. Acting as an
extension of our clients’ staffs, we deliver total
program management services from inception
through completion, helping building owners turn
their vision into reality and enabling them to focus
on their core business rather than their building projects.

MEP Engineering
Rice & Gardner recognizes that quality indoor environments are necessary for building occupants to work and perform
effectively. Our expert engineers design highly-effective HVAC systems, energy-efficient and glare-reducing lighting
systems, suitable electrical systems and proper plumbing systems to ensure the unique needs of building occupants are
met.

We have experience across a range of industries, offering both
traditional and sustainable MEP systems for clients of all sizes
and projects of all types. Our team recognizes that every building
is different and each occupant will have different needs, so we
carefully tailor our MEP engineering services to suit the facility
and the project precisely. We work diligently to maintain our
expertise regarding current building codes, building systems
design models, and equipment specifications to ensure we
always provide the best systems for each unique application.
With our extensive experience and our well-known track record
for success, our proven MEP engineering services are applied to
critical, fast-turn projects and deliberate, long-term projects with
equal efficacy.

Building Commissioning
Rice & Gardner features a team of experienced commissioning agents who approach Building Commissioning as a
meticulous, systematic process for confirming all of a building’s systems have been properly installed and are
functioning and operating in strict accordance with all contract documents. Our commissioning services include
deferred and seasonal tests as required and ensuring that the contractor has provided adequate system
documentation and training for the facility’s staff.

Sustainability
Our goal at Rice & Gardner is to make the best use of the
earth’s resources possible while improving the indoor
environmental quality of each facility’s space for optimal
human performance. To us, improved indoor air quality,
temperature, humidity control, energy conservation, waste
management and water conservation are all significant
aspects of sustainable design. Not only are these
improvements good for the environment and the people
who use the facility, they also cause reduced resource
consumption, which will lead to a tangible return on
investment over time.

We have extensive experience helping our clients by
managing the entire process of design, building
commissioning and qualifying their facilities for a range of LEED certifications, as desired. RGCI is proud to utilize
sustainability best practices, environmentally-conscious materials, effective recycling programs, and more to deliver
eco-friendly facilities for our clients to help provide a healthier tomorrow for our global environment.

Construction Administration
Rice & Gardner recognizes that our project owners
often do not have the available time or resources
needed to oversee the construction process
themselves. We also understand that project
owners need someone who will represent their
best interests and give it to them straight. That’s
why we offer professional construction
administration (CA) services in Houston and
throughout Texas: to give our owners peace of
mind that their project is being completed as
specified with an emphasis on best practices and
industry standards.

Acting on behalf of our project owners, our highly-experienced construction administrators (CAs) review submittals of
the design documents and ensure that everything is being built and installed to the highest standards of quality,
accuracy, and precision. Our CAs attend preconstruction meetings to be sure construction standards are discussed and
expectations are set, often above and beyond specifications. With daily communication, our construction
administrators keep project owners well informed at all times. The result is a facility built precisely as specified with no
delayed inspections, the fastest occupancy possible and the utmost satisfaction from the project owner.

clients throughout the Houston, Texas area. We assemble an in-house group of
highly-qualified professionals, including engineers of various disciplines,
architects and technicians, to work as a team to conduct comprehensive facility

American Disabilities Act (ADA) and local codes and other systems as required by
the client.

Relying on our detailed facility condition assessments, we provide
comprehensive services focused on mitigating any issues found through analysis.
These services range from initial assessment to solution engineering, program management, construction
administration, process administration and beyond to project completion.

Energy Modeling
Our dedicated energy modeling services help clients understand the
efficiency levels of their facilities’ systems and strategies for targeted energy
reduction. Through comprehensive energy modeling and analysis, we
evaluate the energy and economic impact of architectural features, HVAC
systems and equipment, building use and scheduling. Consolidating,
streamlining and simplifying these analyses enables us to help optimize
clients’ systems for energy reduction and cost savings.

Rice & Gardner provides energy modeling and efficiency consulting services
using powerful computer-based software such as Trane Trace 700 and Revit to evaluate the energy consumption of a

trained experts to determine the potential hazards and solutions for

part of mitigating the hazards associated with improperly installed, poorly
maintained, or overloaded electrical systems, panels and equipment.
Our arc flash analysis and consulting services enable us to generate
trusted solutions for mitigating the risk of arc flash hazards for our clients’
facilities. We are proud to help clients maintain compliance with National
Electrical Code (NEC) standards to keep their workers and facilities safe
from the risk of electrocution, costly equipment damage and other
