Additional scope includes the installation of HVAC systems, fire protection, interior and exterior concrete slabs, site utilities, fencing, and earthwork such as pad excavation and site re-grading.

The anticipated contract value is estimated to range between $25 million and $100 million, with award expected in September 2026.
