The purpose of this Request for Qualifications is to identify qualified design-build teams for the design and construction of the new Animal Shelter, to be located on Airport Road in New Kent, Virginia. This project shall be known as the “New Kent County Animal Shelter” project. The Board of Supervisors has adopted Design/Build Procedures, which are attached hereto as Attachment “A”.
