Each building will be emptied of residents to accomplish this work. The Contractor will have one building two buildings at a time to complete the sprinkler / mechanical Work. While not guaranteed, if the Facility has the opportunity, two buildings will be made available to the Contractor. But this is not guaranteed. Since these are AHCA buildings, the sprinkler system must be inspected and signed off from ALL required AHJ authorities before the Facility can move residents back in the buildings and provide another pair of empty buildings for the Contractor to begin Work in. Plan on a ten (10) day duration time for resident transfer from each building, but the Facility will make every effort to accomplish this in one (1) week.
