The construction management firm's contract will encompass Construction Management Support Services for independent contracts for construction of the institutions. The contracts include Major Construction - USP and FPC, Final Roadway and Paving Construction, and Perimeter Security Fencing Construction. The USP and FPC will consist of total building area in excess of 600,000 SF and the estimated construction cost of over $50,000,000.

To be considered, firms must have at least five (5) years experience in management, cost estimating and scheduling of construction projects of similar scope and complexity, and demonstrated experience in the analysis of claims and disputes.
