RDK Consulting, Inc.

RDK Consulting, Inc. (RDK) is a client-focused, full-service project management firm headquartered in La Jolla, California. During the last ten years, RDK has been involved in project management consulting with San Diego and Riverside counties, various cities, and redevelopment agencies throughout Southern California. We regularly serve as the Owner's representative/project manager responsible for the design and construction of various public and private/public sector projects. In that capacity, we are responsible for communicating with all levels of the public and private sector to achieve successful completion of well over $150 million of in-place projects. Each project was completed on time and within the pre-established budgets without a single construction claim, with all change orders under 3% of base contracts. Several of these projects are described below:

The San Diego County Library Capital Program with new libraries in Potrero, Rancho San Diego, Valley Center, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Spring Valley. Development began in the winter of 2000 with programming, architect selections, community meetings and design initiation. In 2001 two branches will be opened, with the remaining three under construction to open in 2002. This $16 million new facility program will improve the level of service throughout San Diego County with needed state-of-the-art library services. These projects total approximately 59,000 square feet of facilities and associated site improvements. This five-building program will be completed in less than 36 months from initiation through occupancy.
The San Diego County Library Proposition 14 Capital Program, with new libraries in Alpine, Campo, Fallbrook, Julian and Ramona. Development began in the fall of 2001 with programming, architect selections, community meetings and design initiation. Two of these branches were submitted for the June 14, 2002 first funding cycle, with the remaining branch to be considered for submittal in subsequent funding cycles. These projects total approximately 52,000 square feet of facilities and associated site improvements. This four-building program will be completed in less than 36 months from initiation through occupancy.
The Larson Justice Center in Indio, California, a $35 million, 12-courtroom criminal and civil courthouse project. The project included the construction of a 700-foot tunnel linking the basement holding areas with the existing County jail. The project was completed in 24 months, with no claims and change orders within the original CIP bond budget. This project was completed under contract to the Riverside County Board of Supervisors in 1997.
The Jurupa Valley, Hemet, and Lake Elsinore Sheriff's Stations in Riverside County. This program developed three major new area facilities and significantly upgraded the Riverside County Sheriff's Department's community presence. Development began in March 1997 with site selection for the Jurupa Valley Station, a 40,000 square foot facility. This new $7.2 million turnkey project, which opened in September 1998, included land acquisition and infrastructure improvements for the new State of California Crime Lab, in addition to area street improvements. The Hemet Station followed with its completion in November 1999, 15 months after land acquisition. The Lake Elsinore Station opened last year representing fulfillment of the facilities development program. These projects were completed in 36 months, with minimal change orders, each within the original project budget. This program was expanded to include the Desert Forensic Center in Indio, which opened recently, and the new Cabazon Station, which is currently in the final design phase.
