Wilson 5 Service Co. is looking to bid on this project and we will be working with both Enviro Vantage and Sevee & Maher Engineers to bid on this work. I wanted to check with you to see if you had a list of approved vendors concerning the construction portions of this project that needs to be completed for this area. We find it is allot easier and smoother to work with companies that have provided this type of service to the facilities in the past and wanted to check with you for any recommendations or suggestions on who to contact. We would really like to have them show up at the site visit so they can see what needs to be done for themselves and not have to guess from what info they get from the solicitation and from us so if you have suggestions or a list of approved vendors we would greatly appreciate if you could let us know so we can invite them to the walk through on Friday.
