Last week, we issued our design development plans for bid to a few contractors, marking an important step forward for this project. We began conceptual design for this project over a year ago, but there were a lot of fits and starts along the way. However, over the last two months we had to speed things up to meet deadline and have made a lot of crucial decisions in a short amount of time.
We've now selected, most everything from the type of concrete we'll pour under the fermenters to the pint-flush, full stall urinals in the men's room (sorry, no trough). And who knew that if you have 6 water closets (not including urinals), the Illinois Accessibility Code requires you to provide a unisex family restroom?
I expect to receive bids in the next week or two and then we'll have one more reconciliation of our budget and reality. Fun, Fun.
