Project size is estimated to be between $150,000 - $10,000,000, but the Government may elect to issue projects of a lower or higher dollar value. Work under this contract will be primarily performed at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune (including the New River Air Station) and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point.
