Friends Hospital, Philadelphia, PA
“During my tenure as President and CEO of Friends Hospital, a 192 bed facility located in Philadelphia, my responsibilities included ensuring the safe
maintenance of a complex campus including 100+ acres of land and 400,000 square feet of building improvements. To accomplish this on a tight not
for profit budget, we were indeed the fortunate beneficiaries of the outstanding professional services of Gillan and Hartmann, Inc. While not their
largest client, their conduct toward us was always responsive, and both deadline and budget focused. They provided my management team with the
able counsel needed to ensure that our facilities contributed to a positive patient experience. They were always a part of our team and performed
with distinction. A pleasure to work with, a recommendation without reservation! Thank you for your dedicated service.”

“l would like to personally thank you and your staff for the outstanding job performance on the Operations, Maintenance and Support Services plan
for the Curran Fromhold Correctional Facility (CFCF). Your plan for this highly technical and multi-faceted correctional operation ensured that we in
Philadelphia addressed all of the common unplanned and unknown aspects of an operation of this nature. I have no doubt that the success of the
CFCF operations which includes maintaining all its cells since its opening in June 1995, has been based on all of the good decisions we made early in
CFCFs planning stages – including OM&S plan developed by your firm.”

“The creativity and personal involvement you exhibited, together with the diligence and attention to detail of the G&H staff, resulted in procedures to
competitively hire a well-qualified Operations, Maintenance and Support Services (OM&S) contractor. The fact that no assigned cell in a correctional
facility has been out of service overnight since initiation of the OM&S plan in 1994, confirms the benefit in a significant way. The extension of the
OM&S initiative into large scale municipal facilities, including a high rise Criminal Justice Center, the Municipal Service Building, and the newly acquired
City of Philadelphia One Parkway Building, has demonstrated continuation of unparalleled success in economical operation on a day in and day out
basis, while minimizing premature costly repairs.”

“Gillan & Hartmann, Inc. has taken a complex design project involving completely gutting and renovating chemistry and biology laboratories and
coordinating construction documents in just one year. In comparison a project scope of this magnitude would normally run well over two years to
achieve this degree of success. Extremely tight time constraints, large demands and an abundance of faith were placed in the hands of this design
staff. SSCOM had to have this design in place and advertised for award within the short time frame mentioned or risk losing the funds. Gillan &
Hartmann, Inc. completed design and construction documents on time and with a level of success exceeding our expectations.”
