QUINCY Construction of the new Quincy Valley Medical Center should reach an important milestone early next week.
“Steel starts going up a week from today,” said Joe Kunkel, the project manager, during the QVMC commission meeting Jan. 22.
QUINCY Quincy residents are beginning to hear and feel, if not yet see, construction on the site of the new Quincy Valley Medical Center.
The site has been cleared of three buildings, some trees and grass, and Tony Sanchez of Graham Construction said Monday that the next task is installing the pilings to support the new building, called geopiers.
“We drill eight to 10 feet (in) depth, fill them with rock and crush them down,” Sanchez said.

QUINCY The approval of the last – and largest – contract for the construction of the new Quincy Valley Medical Center is scheduled for Oct. 30.
Joe Kunkel, a consultant working with QVMC on the project, said Monday the hospital board originally was scheduled to approve the contract for the third phase of the project during Monday’s meeting. But waiting a month was determined to be the better option, he said.
“We said, ‘Let’s take a little more time and let the market work on this.’ Because if we try to jam it through, we’ll get a lot of people not responding. And we need as many eyes as we can get on this thing,” Kunkel said.
QUINCY Quincy Valley Medical Center commissioners awarded about $4.57 million in contracts for materials for the new Quincy hospital in a special meeting Wednesday. It was the second of three contracts for construction.
“The last approval that we’ll go through is for the full (guaranteed maximum price), and that is going to be next month,” said Kayla Van Lieshout of the Klosh Group, a consultant on the project. “We anticipate taking that to the Oct. 23 board meeting for approval.” .
