CASE STUDY
PROJECT:
Dallas County Elections Building
Dallas County purchased an industrial warehouse to serve as the centralized office and equipment warehouse for the County Elections Department. This facility would serve as the administrative headquarters for the Elections Department to allow them to conduct reliable elections and accurately maintain voter registration records for Dallas County’s citizens. The highly-secured multi-purpose facility provides data center-level storage infrastructure, office and administrative space, and numerous training rooms for the general public.
Situation
Despite strong relationships and advanced client positioning, this highly-visible project required a concise yet compelling pursuit strategy. The complex, multi-use space required a general contractor adept at managing accelerated construction in order to meet the deadlines of a major political cycle.
Solution
PRAXIS developed a successful pursuit strategy which ultimately received approval and award through the Dallas County Commissioners Court. The community-focused pursuit leveraged second-chance hiring to focus on workforce development.
Results
Client was successful in the project award, which consisted of converting a former warehouse into a state-of-the-art facility for the Dallas County Elections Department.
PRAXIS also provided public relations services resulting in industry award nominations and management of a media strategy including story and art direction, resulting in coverage in industry publications for the nearly $20 million renovation project.
