The anticipated period of performance of 520 calendar days including all phases.

Project Scope:
The Ahwahnee Hotel, a National Historic Landmark building, is an architectural crown jewel in the national park system. PMIS 154910 will execute the Ahwahnee Comprehensive Rehabilitation Plan (CRP), a phased, long-term program of comprehensive repair and upgrades to bring this year-round landmark hotel, guest cottages and employee dormitory into compliance with current codes, seismic safety standards, and accessibility requirements. This project includes Component B (seismic strengthening) and additional CRP items related to or impacted by the seismic work.

¿ Brace Dining Room in N/S Direction
¿ Brace Dining Room in E/W Direction
¿ Interconnect Dining Room Stone Columns
