These limitations and requirements will need to be clearly detailed in the design package as will the need for multiple intricate phases for the construction work to proceed while also maintaining functionality within adjacent spaces. The design will also need to incorporate detailed infection-control requirements to include intricate infection control barriers for hermetic functionality as well as sound attenuation. These design requirements shall be fully detailed within the plans and specifications. The Method of Contractor Selection has not been determined at this Time.
