McDaniel's Construction Corp.,
Northstar Contracting Inc. and GTSA Construction Consulting, in
partnership with Gilbane Building Company, represent first of
projected 7,000 construction jobs.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 26, 2022
/PRNewswire/ --
What's New: Intel Corporation has selected a diverse
Ohio-based team led by Gilbane
Building Company, with partners McDaniel's Construction Corp., Northstar
Contracting Inc., and GTSA Construction Consulting, to manage the
early excavation work for its two new leading-edge chip factories
in Ohio. The factories, known in
the industry as fabs, will help boost chip production to meet the
surging demand for advanced semiconductors, powering a new
generation of innovative products from Intel and serving the needs
of foundry customers as part of the company's IDM 2.0 strategy.
Why It Matters: The selection of Gilbane and partners
marks the first of Intel's hiring of construction suppliers for an
anticipated 7,000 construction jobs over the course of the build.
The project will also generate tens of thousands of additional
indirect and support jobs, including contracted positions,
electricians and engineers, and jobs in restaurants, healthcare,
housing, entertainment and other businesses. For example, in
Arizona, where Intel has operated
high-volume manufacturing for more than four decades, Intel depends
on a local network of more than 1,000 businesses to directly supply
its operations. In January, several of Intel's top suppliers
announced they would make investments in Ohio to support Intel's planned
operations.
What the Companies' Roles are: Gilbane will manage
the team's work to prepare the site for the construction of Intel's
planned factories and drive economic inclusion to provide
sustainable opportunities for diverse firms throughout the project.
Local partners, including McDaniel's Construction (MBE), Northstar
Contracting (MBE/EDGE/VBE/SBE/DBE) and GTSA Construction
Consulting, will provide staff augmentation and consulting services
for Phase 1.
"Gilbane is honored to partner with Intel on this transformative
project in central Ohio. Intel's
investment in Ohio is significant
and will drive sustained economic growth for generations to come,"
said Thomas M. Laird Jr., president
and CEO, Gilbane Building Company. "This monumental project
continues our strong partnership with the City of New Albany, The New Albany Company,
One Columbus and JobsOhio, and is a
tremendous opportunity for Ohio
trade partners and local workforce. We look forward to helping to
advance innovation, drive economic inclusion and support the local
community as we embark on this exciting plan."
Gilbane has been providing construction management services in
Ohio since 1957. The family-owned
company is committed to leaving a lasting positive impact on the
local economy, workforce and community where it delivers projects.
Building on Intel's commitment to diversity and inclusion, Gilbane
has identified significant project goals to maximize diverse
participation in all project phases. For diverse business
enterprises, the project is targeting 20% diverse business
enterprises and 50% State of Ohio
residency. For workforce inclusion, the project is targeting 10%
participation for minority, female and veteran workforce and 60%
State of Ohio residency. Gilbane
has launched a coordinated outreach program to achieve these
business and workforce goals.
"MCCI is pleased to be included on the enabling team for the
monumental Intel project," said Dan
Moncrief III, chairman and CEO, McDaniel's Construction. "Since our inception
over 37 years ago, we have strived to be a leader in our market
sector. We believe that the past hard work and sacrifices have put
us in a position to be an integral team member for this project.
This opportunity should provide us the exposure to allow us to
continue our growth pattern for the foreseeable future."
Intel's Supplier Diversity & Inclusion vision values
the spirit of innovation and competitive advantage afforded through
diverse communities. One of Intel's 2030 RISE corporate
responsibility goals is to reach $2
billion in annual spending with diverse suppliers. Realizing
full diversity and inclusion across Intel's supply chain globally
is critical to delivering world-changing technology that improves
the life of every person on the planet.
What's Next: Additional disclosure of subcontractors
is expected in the coming weeks and months. The two fabs —
representing an initial investment of more than $20 billion — will be located on a "mega-site"
spanning nearly 1,000 acres in Licking
County, Ohio, on land recently incorporated by the
City of New Albany. The site can
accommodate a total of eight chip factories and support operations
and ecosystem partners. Construction on the fabs is expected to
start in 2022. Chip production is expected to come online in 2025,
when the fabs will deliver chips using the industry's most advanced
transistor technologies.
This project will create transformational change for
Ohio and throughout the Midwest,
serving as a catalyst for other investments upstream and
downstream, similar to how other areas with Intel manufacturing
facilities have evolved over time.
