This contract requires the ability to coordinate various engineering disciplines and the phasing of construction, as well as the ability to provide cost estimates in two categories, repairs and new construction, with appropriate notes identifying each construction task by type for the purpose of obtaining a bid for each category. Projects may also require the testing, identification and removal of asbestos, contaminated paint, heavy metals and PCB oil.
