Work on the fourth and final $260.3-million package for the new Orlando Veterans Administration Medical Center will start in mid-October, as Brasfield & Gorrie begins building out the 1.1 million-sq-ft hospital and landscaping on the $665 million, 65-acre medical campus. The contractor was awarded the project in early September.
“The schedule is very aggressive, 720 calendar days, which is a little quicker than normal for that size hospital,” says George Paulson, project executive of Brasfield & Gorrie of Lake Mary, Fla., who expects a notice to proceed on October 13, 2010.
