PROJECT BACKGROUND & DESCRIPTION: Our intention is to procure Construction Period Services in support of #596-33 Construct Replacement CLC Complex Care Minor project at the Lexington VA Health Care System Franklin R. Sousley (Leestown) Campus, Lexington, KY. The current design firm of record is RDC/John Poe Architects, L.L.L.P., located at 524 Fernwood Drive, Altamonte Springs, Florida 32701. They are a small business and have been in the process of designing this (Minor) construction project since the award of the design contract 36C77623C0076 on July 20, 2023.
