Army Corps Appeals to Industry For Input On Delivery Of $500 Million + Project
“We are looking to industry to help us in formulating an acquisition strategy, to expedite delivery and provide us with a higher level of quality to help us put our best foot forward for south Louisiana,” says Jim Barr, chief of the New Orleans District’s contracting division. He spoke at an Industry Day gathering in Metairie, La., on Aug. 6. It was convened for the purpose of getting project information out and soliciting ideas back. “We are looking for the standard answers for better, faster, cheaper,” Barr said.
“I’m trying to get industry to get on board with this now,” Barr added. “Once the train starts moving, it will be harder to jump on it.”
