We suggest having an allowance of $150,000.00.

Most of this work is relatively small in scope, and many of the areas affected will not be vacated until after the major construction work is completed. Thus, we suggest doing the bulk of this work with in-house labor which will extend construction dollars to be able to accomplish twice the work of having it contracted.
