Mashpee Wampanoag Tribal Government Center

RGB served the Tribe as OPM during design and construction of its Government Center, completed in 2012. When RGB stepped into the Government Center project, it was over budget and under designed. RGB managed the process and design firm to reign in the scope, change expectations, and solicit public bids below our estimate. The four low bids were within 1% of each other. RGB has also supported the Tribe with three Federal grant applications and managed grant funds with the USDA RA, Indian Health Services, and Bureau of Indian Affairs.
