Estimator jgroblewski@kirbyelectricinc.com Mr Lindinger, We at Kirby Electric are interested in quoting this project.
I attended the pre bid meeting on August 9,2022, I do believe Kirby was the only non general contractor on the meeting.
Could you please confirm that the pre qualification bid is only for general contractors and not for the subs that may be giving the general contractors that invite us to bid the project?
| GSA is soliciting technical proposals from general contractors having the NAICS code for the construction work: 236220 – “Commercial and Institutional Building Construction." |
