BAFO will remain in effect until end of calendar year

Specifically, the vendor said "Yes, we can honor our price through the end of the year. We’d be happy to become more engaged in the planning process with the University if appropriate. Please let me know if there is anything we could do."

Subject: RE: Weatherization UpdateHello All,
The work on these buildings should start in the next couple weeks. The Craft & Trades are getting past their busy season since school has started.
The only item I see on Tom’s list that may be an issue is the tuck pointing at the Native American House 1206 W. Nevada. I will have to speak with our Brickmasons Foreman to see if this can be done.
As for the Speech Communication building let me see what the future plans for its use are.
Thanks
Mark
Update from Mckenzie Beverage
Associated Project(s):Hi Mark and Morgan,
I met with Thomas today and we discussed the kits and email to be sent to the buildings. He is waiting on confirmation from Mark for the building upgrades. Do you know when those will begin? He would like to list the specific upgrades that will be made for each building when he contacts them. I have attached his list here. Please let him know if all of these will be able to happen and when.
Additionally, Thomas was informed that the Speech Communications building is not occupied this semester. Do you know how long it will be unoccupied? If it is longer than the fall semester, Thomas suggested reconsidering completing the upgrades.
Let me know if you would like to set up a meeting to discuss these items. Otherwise, Thomas will be needing the energy usage information from before and after the upgrades to include that in his final report. Thanks!
Best Regards,
Mckenzie Beverage
