EMERGENCY PROCUREMENT - Chichester Science Center Fire Wall Repairs

This contract represents an emergency award by Longwood University to address critical fire‑safety deficiencies in the Chichester Science Center. The State Fire Marshal identified non‑compliant fire‑rated wall assembly, requiring immediate remediation so the building could pass re‑inspection. Cornerstone Construction Company, already on the university’s term‑contract list, was selected for its capability, availability, and fair‑and‑reasonable pricing. The work had to be completed within a very tight window (by June 20 2022) to avoid shutdown of the science facility. • Scope: Fire‑wall repairs (general construction) inside Chichester Science Center. • Timeline: Award issued June 16 2022; work required to finish before June 20 2022 (≈4‑day window). • Vendor: Cornerstone Construction Company (prospect, VA), pre‑qualified under university’s term‑contract program. • Procurement type: Emergency award (sole source/other‑than‑full‑and‑open competition). • No monetary value disclosed; budget not published.
