1.2 Background: The contractor must completely disassemble five VLMs, which are installed and in operation. The VLMs and parts will be crated to enable easy relocation and accounting of all materials. The contractor will provide the crates/packaging material. The government will store the crated materials until the building 510 construction project is complete, at which time the contractor will uncrate and assemble the VLMs in their new location in building 510. The contractor will assemble and program the VLMs to the working order they were in prior to disassembly. More detail is provided in Section 5.0.

1.3 Period of Performance (PoP): The Period of Performance shall be one Base Year of 12 months and one 12-month option year. The timeframe for both disassembly and reassembly is 100% dependent on the building 510 construction project, which is estimated to begin in July 2022 and end in July 2023. Disassembly may be started as early as four weeks prior to start of construction, but crating must be complete no later than two weeks prior to construction. Reassembly will be started upon notice from the Government that construction is completed in the installation area, which is estimated to be before July 2023.
