The project timeline spans a total of 111 calendar days, encompassing preparation, construction, and closeout phases. Additionally, the contractor must adhere to various state and federal guidelines, manage hazardous waste appropriately, and ensure minimal disruption to base operations at Shaw Air Force Base.
