Work is expected to take place while ongoing hospital operations and last approximately 1,280 calendar days at an estimated cost between $25-100 million. The government is requesting information from unionized and non-unionized contractors through the attached questionnaire to determine if a project labor agreement would advance economy and efficiency, promote adequate competition at a fair price, and comply with relevant statutes and regulations for this project. Responses are due by February 2, 2024.
