Gillis Gilkerson To Oversee OCBP HQ After Winning Bid

Salisbury-based construction firm Gillis Gilkerson is gearing up to oversee the construction of the new Ocean City Beach Patrol headquarters, after having won the city’s first-ever construction management bid for the project.

Earlier this year, the city decided to change its bidding process and, instead of hiring a general contractor directly, hire a management firm who would then oversee both the final design of the project and the hiring of subcontractors.

“It’s a much more seamless operation, where the people who have to build it are involved earlier on,” said Gillis Gilkerson President Dwight Miller.
