Additionally, the work scope includes the installation of diversified path to data center for wide area networks (WANs), and hazardous material abatement. Contracts include options for construction phase services. These services require submittal/shop drawing reviews, answering questions, issuing amendments, participating in site visits, and reviewing contractor proposals for additional work.
