Task Orders will primarily address new construction, design-build, general building renovation, road and pavement repair, utility work to include water, sewer, electrical and gas and general environmental work including, but not limited to, incidental minor construction, excavation, plumbing, demolition, electrical, structural, mechanical, concrete work, and environmental remedial work.

The Contract will end upon completion of the five (5) one (1) year periods or one five (5) year ordering period or upon attainment of the US$49,950,000 capacity.
