This project will require an army of specialized experts, each with a unique skill set and purpose. &nbsp;It is anticipated more than 2,000 craftsmen will work on the project with a workforce of 900 on site at construction peak, working day and night to make sure the new Fred &amp; Pamela Buffett Cancer Center is ready to open doors by 2017.<\/p>\n<p>\nSubcontractors will have six weeks to prepare bids for Kiewit&rsquo;s evaluation, but first they will need to sift through 1,600 pages of drawings and specifications prepared by local project architect, HDR.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\nContractors will review project specifications, determine the skills and labor force necessary to complete the designed scope of work, and prepare sealed proposals to Kiewit detailing costs. A summary of this pricing will be prepared for review and approval by ownership before the end of March.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to constructing a $323 million facility there are many considerations. <\/p>\n<p>From cabinetry hardware, to ceiling tiles, to carpeting that can withstand years of wear and tear, no detail is too small.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":112,"featured_media":43349,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","department-intercom"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fred &amp; Pamela Buffett Cancer Center - Construction update<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"When it comes to constructing a $323 million facility there are many considerations.
