The Construction Manager will provide oversight, inspection, ADA compliance review, permitting coordination, documentation management, and closeout support for all construction activities. Bidders must submit firm pricing separately for each phase, with the combined budget for Construction Manager Services across both phases capped at $190,154.90, and any submittals exceeding this amount will not be evaluated or considered for award.

The certification document requires all bidders to acknowledge and comply with the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Pub.

Bidders must complete and sign the certification form, confirming they have performed due diligence review of their supply chain and warrant that no prohibited covered telecommunications equipment or services will be provided to the Agency. Failure to submit the signed certification will result in automatic disqualification from consideration.
