In the summer of 2008, the DC Office of Public Education Facilities Modernization (OPEFM) proposed a summer blitz to reconstruct various athletic fields throughout the Metropolitan DC area. These schools included Cardozo Senior High School, Anacostia Senior High School, Spingarn Senior High School, J.O. Wilson Elementary School, Stanton Elementary School, and Eastern Senior High School. Fort Myer Construction took on this intense project without hesitation and leveraged their knowledge of local subcontractors. Their readiness and perseverance resulted in all tasks being completed within the proposed deadlines. The stringent timeframe required FMCC to use several adequate subcontractors from a ample catalog of contacts.
