Construct New School Drop Off Lane

Amendment / Modification

This addendum modifies the original scope of work for the "Construct New School Drop-Off Lane, B8568" project at Keesler AFB, Mississippi.

Key changes include:

• Abatement: Contractor is to abate approximately 17 feet of the existing hydrant lateral.
