This presents an excellent opportunity for the awardee to utilize the winter of 26/27 to procure materials, complete admin and detailed coordination drawings for building 1, while utilizing immediately available work in buildings 15 and 16 to establish team dynamics, rhythm, and process to build steam.
Are there any specific needs of the facility? Can a contractor utilize temporary heaters? Can a contractor bring in an engineering team to help assist?
VA Response: VA would be willing to review these proposed methods. Again, the expectation is for a best value solicitation. The VA is highly motivated to...
