Hellas Construction recently made major updates to Memorial Stadium at Dodge City High School.
“The Hellas Team was transparent and organized,” Dodge City athletic director Jay Gifford. “We started with drawings that were approved by our BOE. The install team showed up on time and were on the job two weeks – finishing in time for us to also install a new track at the facility before we began playing games this fall.”
The Dodge City administration had a unique way to determine that Hellas was the best company to use for their renovations.
“Our district uses a scoring rubric to determine which company best fits our needs for our current project(s),” Gifford said. “Hellas scored strong in several areas: budget, customer service, past successful projects with the district, and quality of product.”
There were many reasons why Gifford thinks Hellas would fit the needs of most schools or organizations.
“Hellas is an excellent product and team for many reasons,” Gifford said. “The customer service is excellent – and their product is high quality and easily accessible to schools in Kansas due to the number of schools in which they have installations. Also, their company has been around this area for several year – so you can find turf fields at various stages of usage/years – which is very helpful when trying to determine which company to use. Our district has been very pleased with Hellas at both our baseball, softball, and football facilities.”
