• The contractor must follow the guidelines outlined in the Supplementary Document, which includes standards for structures, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, electrical systems, and coordination and approval.
• The project is located in a remote area with limited access to supplies, and the contractor must take this into consideration when planning and executing the project.
