Voice of the Client

City of Wilmer

"The City Council and I are excited and thrilled to advance our water infrastructure as we are committed to preserving and protecting our environment. It also allows our citizens to manage their own consumption more easily and effectively."

Sheila Petta

Mayor

Grayslake Public Library

"Performance Services appeared on our radar based on their previous work installing solar panels for school districts 46 and 127. Installing a new roof and over 200 solar panels at pretty much the same time turned out to be a much easier process than expected! PSI made safety and communication top priorities throughout the process. Grayslake Area Public Library is proud to be among the growing number of public institutions to make a commitment toward renewable energy. "

Tim Longo

Executive Director

Wisconsin Heights School District

"Our transition to a newly constructed elementary school, a renovated middle/high school, and a combined campus is truly remarkable for Wisconsin Heights. The educational process is a partnership involving students, parents, faculty, and the community. I believe that we have the shared value of wanting students in the District to enjoy an education that is second to none. The completion of this project is another demonstration of Vanguard Pride!"

Dr. Jordan Sinz

District Administrator

Mooresville Schools Pioneer Pavilion

"The Pioneer Pavilion brings opportunities for our students, families, and community. Not only will this facility benefit our middle and high school student-athletes, but it also provides much-needed space to expand opportunities for performing arts and community events."

Randy Taylor

Superintendent

City of Kaufman

"The installation of new automated water meters is another step the City is taking to replace and upgrade aging infrastructure. This will result in more efficient and enhanced service to our residents and businesses."

Jeff Jordan

Mayor

City of Clyde

"Our partnership with Performance Services allows the City of Clyde to modernize every aspect of our infrastructure, operations, and maintenance without passing on project costs to the citizens of Clyde."

Chris McGuire

City Manager

South Vermillion Community School Corporation

"The South Vermillion Community School Corporation is committed to energy conservation efforts as we continue to upgrade our facilities in an energy-efficient manner. Investing in our people and processes in order to minimize costs is our focus. It is great to know that the efforts made to date have lessened our energy usage, cost and impact on the environment. Moving forward, it is our goal to continue to search for new ways to conserve and save,"

Dave Chapman

Superintendent

Noblesville Schools

"Solar energy gives us the opportunity to direct more funding to teachers and classrooms and also better project our energy costs over the next decades. Being able to save money, reduce environmental impacts and create student learning opportunities is a win for everyone in the community."

Dr. Dave Mundy

Associate Superintendent

Southwestern Wisconsin School District – Referendum Project

"I am so proud of our entire District for their support, passion, and commitment to our students. The changes we are making are exciting and our students deserve to have facilities that are up to date that will enhance their learning and create a sense of pride."

John Costello

Superintendent

Warren Township HSD 121

"The fiduciary and scholastic benefits are obvious. More importantly, however, as stewards of the earth, it is our shared responsibility to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Also, the use of renewable energy is a key component of our strategic plan. This solar field underscores that commitment, all the while adding to our intellectual infrastructure."

Jim Walz

Board of Education Member

City of Fairfield

"The City of Fairfield is committed to providing superior water quality and service to our customers. This project is an important step forward for our community."

Mayor Hughes

Mooresville Graded School District

"Part of the reason that MGSD chose to partner with Performance Services as the design-builder on our project was because of their experience, knowledge, and proven track record for building and renovating K-12 schools. While design-build is a relatively new delivery method in North Carolina, many states use the method to some degree and have for years to build and renovate schools."

Michael Royal, Ed.D.

Chief Operations Officer

City of Waxahachie

"The new smart meters will not only provide a more precise reading for our customers, but this system also includes tools for our residents to track usage in real time, which can measure consumption and even help detect possible issues, including leaks. Implementing this widely used technology is another way the City is looking to automate our historically manual processes to provide outstanding service to our residents."

Michael Scott

City Manager

Greenfield-Central Community School Corporation

"Performance Services through pre-planning, their supply chain, their expertise and experience has managed to pull off an amazing amount of work in a short period of time and has made everyone happy in the district from the students clear up to the board. It has been a pleasure working with them; they have certainly made my life a lot easier."

Tony Zurwell

Business Manager

IU Health Methodist Hospital

"I thought the organization was the best I have seen in my 15 years that I have been in the sheet metal trade. Performance Services set schedules by trade, time frames for each trade and they pretty much hit every deadline on their schedule. I think the fact that they had so much attention on this project is what helped orchestrate the organization. They had engineers on the electrical side, controls, and mechanical actively involved at all times, and I mean at all times of the day and night. . . . The accuracy of the drawings and research were extremely pivotal in the success of this job."

Nick White

Project Manager, Bright Sheet Metal

Tri-Township Consolidated School Corporation

"Performance Services delivered on our Phase 1 Building Renovation and Classroom Addition. Our classrooms are updated, our learning environment has improved dramatically, and we have more space for elementary students. We recently selected PSI to complete Phase 2 and design-build a new entryway at Wanatah and provide Master Planning Services for the district. The Performance Services team worked closely with our board, teachers, and community members to make sure our project turned out as expected--no surprises!"

Tim Somers

Superintendent

Wawasee Community School Corporation

"Together, after costs to staff our Energy Leadership program with a part-time employee, Wawasee is saving about one quarter million dollars per year. That amount equates to one new teacher, with benefits, per building. Our Energy Leadership program has been wonderful during these tough economic times. "

Tom Edington

Superintendent

South Vermillion Community School Corporation

"As I have come to expect, every aspect of the design-build project has been outstanding. I have always looked at more than the just the price tag when dealing with a major renovation project. The level of commitment and quality of service provided is second to none. I very much appreciate the working relationship and final product."

David A. Chapman

Superintendent

Metropolitan School District of Perry Township

"The cooperation and collaboration that Performance Services brought to the table every day was greatly appreciated. This positive atmosphere resulted in a truly enjoyable project experience for everyone involved, a successful end result, and a very pleased Owner."

Franklin D. Giles

Associate Superintendent

Penn-Harris-Madison School Corporation

"P-H-M has been pleased with the level of expertise of the Performance Services staff, the detailed follow up and the professionalism of their workers. We were assigned two key personnel that have been constant in our working relationship. They understand what we are trying to achieve and help us get there."

Denise D. Seger, Ph. D.

Associate Superintendent

Metropolitan School District of New Durham Township

"I believe the greatest impact for me personally was the support I received from Performance Services through the project. As a new superintendent, I had limited knowledge of school construction. However, from my initial discussions with the Business Development Manager, to my meetings with the architects and engineers, and weekly walk through with the local foreman, all of my questions and concerns were answered quickly and honestly."

Dr. Curtiss Strietelmeier

Superintendent

Aptakisic-Tripp Community Consolidated School District 102

"Performance Services was outstanding to work with from the initial conversations regarding the scope of work, through the bid process, and then ultimately through the completion of our projects. The entire team was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of our projects. All of our projects were completed on time and handled with top notch client service. The Open Book Pricing sheet not only resonated well with me but also our Superintendent and will help ease the district's mind for future project pricing."

Stacey Bachar

Assistant Superintendent for Business Services

Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township

"Performance Services exceeded our expectations with the work they performed. Their vast experience, reputation and expertise sets the company apart from other providers."

Robin Phelps

Chief Financial Officer/Treasurer

South Adams Schools

"It has been a pleasure to work with Performance Services and to see all contractors working as a team and not against one another in a competitive way. That is the beauty of design-build, not to mention the time and cost savings. I believe South Adams made the right choice."

Tony Mellencamp

School Board President (presiding in 2009)

Shenandoah School Corporation

"No matter who we call at Performance Services, there is an immediate response and they take care of what we need. I suppose we could have gotten a good product from a number of different companies, but I don't think we would have the level of client satisfaction with any other company. Our board feels very strongly about Performance Services, the quality of the product, and their people."

Ron Green

Superintendent

Muncie Community Schools

"By working with Performance Services, we have been able to reduce our carbon footprint while reducing costs. By working with Performance Services, MCS has both saved money and created a more sustainable future for the children and families we serve."

Dr. Steven Baule

Superintendent

Hamilton Southeastern Schools

"What sets Performance Services apart is the fact that they use open-book pricing. They clearly identify what costs are associated with the project and share that cost with us. Some of the other providers I have worked with keep those costs hidden. I could not evaluate whether we were getting good value for our investment with other providers."

Harry Delks

Facilities Manager

Daleville Community Schools

"The Performance Services Team kept our project "on track" and we were very prepared to begin our school year with a much better learning environment for our students. We found Performance Services to be professional, courteous, and responsive experts to our HVAC needs. We are happy indeed with the way things turned out."

Paul Garrison

Superintendent

Community Unit School District 200

"It is worth noting that with any good partnership, the quality of the people who work with you is vital. From the sales team to the engineers to project management staff, Performance Services has a team of quality individuals who are knowledgeable and professional."

William R. Farley

Assistant Superintendent for Business Services

Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis

"The energy savings work on the IUPUI campus was particularly challenging, for the largest measure of this work required the HVAC upgrades to be completed for a five-level office and classroom building over the three-month summer session. Design through construction, Performance Services was able to deliver a successful project that was managed very efficiently. All involved in this project are truly appreciative of the efforts put forth to make this an enjoyable project experience."

Tim Fettig

Construction Manager

Pulaski Memorial Hospital

"Performance Services took a great deal of time in getting these systems designed so that they meet the needs of our hospital and saves the maximum amount of energy. Performance Services didn't just tack into our existing systems. They reviewed the entire functioning of our facility and designed systems that would improve the overall function, not just fix an immediate problem."

Mark Boer

Director of Plant Engineering and Safety

IU Health Methodist Hospital

"Performance Services was nearly flawless in their execution of the Methodist Hospital Operating Room Controls Upgrades Project. Any issues that did arise were addressed expediently and precisely. Their pre-commissioning work and preparedness for final commissioning and acceptance testing allowed for strict adherence to our tight schedule. I give them an A+ for this project especially given its complexities and critical working environment."

Damon G. Greeley PE, CEM, HFDP, CBCP, EDAC

IU Health Facility Engineering Representative

Beech Grove City Schools

"The price is the price with no change orders. If it's a $2 million project, it's going to be a $2 million project. I know Performance Services is going to come back and take care of any issues and it's not going to cost our school corporation any more money."

Paul Kaiser

Superintendent (Former)

City of Indianapolis

"Performance Services successfully implemented a deep energy retrofit of the City-County Building and significant energy efficiency improvements at several other City/County facilities including the Marion County Jail. They were very responsive throughout the project implementation, which due to the size of the project (15 buildings, 2+ million square feet) took almost 18 months to complete. Many of the buildings were old and fully occupied 24/7, which required phasing in the schedule in such a manner as not to disturb building users. Performance Services also completed ARRA/Stimulus-funded portions of the project and arranged for subcontractors to be onsite during visits by the Federal Department of Energy grantors."

John Hazlett

Project Manager, Department of Sustainability

Fort Wayne Community Schools

"The results of the Energy Leadership program have far exceeded our original expectations and will provide much needed relief to the general fund."

Kathy Friend

"We appreciate Performance Services' commitment to ensuring all of our questions and concerns are addressed immediately. Throughout the project to date, we appreciated the open candid conversations regarding the various aspects of the project. Overall, we are very satisfied with the service and support Performance Services continues to provide!"

Eric Neff

Administrative Manager, Covington Independent Public Schools

Marshall County Schools

"We were able to replace aging equipment that otherwise would not have been replaced except under an emergency situation. Performance Services solved that by helping us pay for those upgrades through cost savings over a period of time. What sets Performance Services apart is the value they brought. When we looked at what we were getting for the price compared to what we were not getting at the lower price of others, it was a 'no-brainer' if you have the bonding capacity. Additionally, their open book pricing model sets them apart and allows for transparency. We knew exactly what we were getting, no surprises."

Danny Davis

District Project Manager

School District of Menomonee Falls

"We feel that Performance Services just had a better approach to the facility study process which sets them apart. Additionally, we did not have to invest any initial dollars into the study. We were impressed with the input Performance Services gave us from the planning phase all the way throughout the project because we did not experience that with other companies. Performance Services made us part of the solution. We have done numerous projects with Performance Services that really turned out well, and we did not have surprise change order costs. When they talk about guaranteed pricing, they stick to that and we really appreciate that."

Rick Fechter

Director of Facilities

Purdue University Fort Wayne

"Your team has been among the best that I have had the pleasure to work with. I was extremely impressed with their problem-solving abilities and especially their communication skills. When a problem arose, they listened to us and worked through our concerns to arrive at a timely and satisfactory solution. They overcame many existing issues, as well as uncovered and solved several complicated controls engineering problems, some of which had been ongoing for several years. This is not the way all projects work and this has been so refreshing."

Gregory Justice

Assistant Director of Facilities, Planning, Construction, and Sustainability

Little Rock School District

"Our District and City treasure Little Rock historic school buildings. Performance Services was the right company to modernize the heating and cooling systems at Little Rock Central High School. Performance Services made sure we had all systems operational on the first day of class. Their people and project management make a difference."

Kelsey Bailey

Chief Financial Officer

Michigan City Area Schools

"We are thrilled to be recognized with the Governor's Award. This project has helped us move toward 'greener' and more efficient buildings, and it is being financed through energy savings at no cost to taxpayers. This will benefit Michigan City Area Schools and our community for years to come."

Dr. Barbara Eason-Watkins

Superintendent

Lake Park District 108

"District 108 has been working for years to model energy stewardship throughout our campuses with energy-efficient lighting, HVAC systems, and more. Our solar project is an exciting and financially sound way to produce clean energy and provide a learning tool for our students."

Dr. Lynn Panega

Superintendent

East Porter County School Corporation

"Including Energy Leadership in this project made a huge difference in our energy savings. It held us to a higher level of responsibility, oversight, and follow-up that allowed East Porter County Schools to see savings above and beyond what a simple mechanical renovation would have achieved."

Rod Gardin

Superintendent

New Prairie United School Corporation

"New Prairie United School Corporation appreciates the work of Performance Services and their design-build team partners to make our vision for 21st Century learning facilities a reality for our students."

Paul White

Ian Smith

Director of Facilities

"We are pleased that our school board members have unanimously supported moving forward with this solar and LED lighting project. The expertise and experience of Performance Services gives us much confidence as we move forward. The financial projections for the Oak Hill Junior and Senior High School solar project show a significant positive impact on our future finances."

Joel Martin

Superintendent

Delphi Community School Corporation

"For ten to fifteen years, we will not be paying for our solar panels. They will be generating money back into the school corporation. With the addition of the Solar and LED projects, our PLTW and Science teachers within the District are provided with materials from the non-profit National Energy Education Development Project (NEED). These resources include hands-on lab experiments, curricula, and equipment. "

Greg Briles

Former Superintendent

Roselle School District 12

"This was a great project and it is going to have a huge impact on our kids. The students are excited to come back to school and their families are excited about what this means for their kids. I just want you to know how much I appreciate it. The headaches for a project this big were so minimal and the collaboration was solid. I will miss seeing you all around the buildings!"

Anthony Arbogast

Director of Business Services

Tom Beerheide

Parkview Noble Hospital

"Performance Services has exceeded my expectations with this very difficult operating room and hospital controls project.

I would highly recommend Performance Services for their turnkey MEP project delivery approach when doing any central plant or critical space project"

Scot Burcroff, CHFM, CHEP

Technical Operations Manager - Facilities Services

Tipton County

"The progressive design-build process has been very smooth and interactive. The communication and working relationship with Performance Services has been excellent. I'm confident that we have a design that meets all our program needs, is innovative, highly efficient, within our budget, and will reduce ongoing operating costs."

Tony Frawley

Tipton County Sheriff

Glenbard Township HSD 87

"Architects are experts at design. Construction managers are experts at building buildings. Glenbard Schools wanted an expert to address a $34 million renovation of our HVAC electrical and plumbing systems. Performance Services fit that role to a tee providing design, installation, and performance guarantees. Through their Open Book Pricing, we were assured of getting competitive pricing on all project costs. "

Chris McClain

Former Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations

City of Rushville

"The progressive design-build process that Performance Services has taken us through has been second to none. Unlike the previously unsuccessful plan-spec process that we tried on the same building, the design-build team is delivering a much faster, higher-quality building that stayed within our budget and included several local trade contractors."

Brian Sheehan

Director of Special Projects

Clark County Public Schools

"This project has created tremendous energy savings and the ability to provide 100% fresh air to our buildings for added safety and comfort for our students and staff—especially during COVID19.  Performance Services has worked closely with our staff to ensure our complete understanding of control system capabilities to benefit the District. "

Paul Christy

Superintendent (Former)

Lynn Johnson

Interim Superintendent

"My experience with Performance Services is exceptional. They provide expertise, excellent communication, and project management.

"Performance Services had been working with the University since the summer of 2015 in order to evaluate the University's buildings and energy efficiency needs. In February 2016, the Huntington University Board of Trustees approved the implementation of a campus energy conservation project. The campus energy project included HVAC and lighting upgrades at Habecker Dining Commons, Livingston Residence Hall, Meadows Residence Hall, Miller Residence Hall, Loew-Brenn Hall, Merillat Center for the Arts, Merillat Complex-Fieldhouse and Platt Arena, and the Science Hall."

Huntington University

Mukwonago Area School District

"The Mukwonago School District has a bright future.

Arkansas Tech University

Fayette County School Corporation

"Anytime we, as a school district, can save millions of dollars and operate in a way that helps our environment by using a natural resource like solar energy, it is a win-win for our district and community. With this project being a guaranteed energy savings project, it is exciting to think about this project's long-term benefits 30 years from now."

Jonathan Burke

Consultant, Tactical Energy Group

"I believe the performance aspects of Performance Services set them above the rest. The savings that will be generated by the sinking fund projects will help to keep my district in a strong financial position for many years to come. The 24-hour attention before, during, and after the project has been outstanding. Every Performance Services employee that I have dealt with has been first-rate, and they have made this project an awesome experience. I would recommend Performance Services to anyone looking to improve their energy efficiency."

Brad Gudme

Superintendent (Former)

North Adams Community Schools

"Whether you are a student, parent, family member, staff, school board member, or resident of the community, you are impacted by education and our school district.

Brent Lehman

Former Superintendent

Greendale School District

"The Greendale School District chose to employ a team of community members knowledgeable about engineering and finance, as well as our architect and key administrators to vet the potential project priorities and selection process. A comparison of two responses by the group left no doubt that Performance Services was the clear choice. They came to the table with detailed costs and detailed engineering plans. An analysis yielded that Performance Services would be at least $500K less, provide clear open book pricing, use vendors of our choice, and would return any unused funds to us to enlarge our scope. No ambiguity on costs and no change orders. The choice was easy!"

Erin Green

Business Manager (Retired)

Noblesville Schools

"We were able to know from start to finish how every dollar was spent. As a steward of Noblesville taxpayer dollars, it is very important to be able to go back to the community and say that we fulfilled our promise. We completed the project on time, under budget, and we scrutinized the process. We have proof of that."

Jeff Bragg

Former Director of Operations

Avon Community School Corporation

"Avon Community School Corporation has done multiple projects with Performance Services over the last several years. We have been pleased with the construction process and their work has led to positive changes to our schools. Their approach is collaborative and they value input from our team at all steps in the process. They are responsive to feedback and have a strong team in all areas of the organization. We value the high-quality work and collaboration that Performance Services brings to our district."
