The project is anticipated to run from August 2026 to December 2028, with performance occurring at the facility site in Carson City, Nevada. All work must comply with Nevada Revised Statutes, federal regulations including the Buy American Act and Davis-Bacon Act, civil rights laws, and the state’s anti-boycott of Israel statute.
