Jeff Scott, Triangle Associates, was introduced by
Superintendent Kingsnorth. Due to the high rate of personnel turnovers at
Skanska USA, Fremont Public Schools has selected Triangle Associates for
any future projects. If they are competitive in their pricing and the
prices are the same or better than Skanska, Fremont Public Schools would
use them in a facilities study and any kind of bond planning and subsequent
construction projects.
