Trauner was the Board of Education’s Owner’s Representative during the $178M Union City High School Demonstration Project. This project was the result of a public/private partnership between the Union City Redevelopment Authority, the State of New Jersey, and a private developer. The new Union City High School was the key element of the project.

During construction of this 366,000 sq. ft. project, Trauner represented the Board at project meetings, periodically inspected the project work, reviewed change orders, reviewed the punch list, evaluated construction issues, reviewed meeting minutes and worked directly with Frank Acinapura, Educational Director Of Planning/Development.

The demonstration project was successfully completed in September 2009. New York Construction named it one of the “Top New York Projects” in June 2008.
