Rochon was the general contractor selected by the City of Winterset to build our $3M outdoor aquatic center. Construction began in the spring of 2005 and was completed in the spring of 2006. As a result of efforts by Rochon, sub-contractors and consultants, our aquatic center was completed on time and on budget. Ron, Dave, Matt and Seamus were all helpful and professional throughout our project from the groundbreaking ceremony, throughout construction to the grand opening celebration. The City of Winterset appreciates the work that Rochon performed. Our project was a complete success. We closed our old pool in 2005, opened our new facility the next year (without missing a swimming season) and stayed on budget. We are preparing for our third aquatic center season as our facility continues to operate structurally and mechanically very well. Our new aquatic center has been well received with attendance topping 40,000 last season. - John Pletchette |
