SMF HVAC IMPROVEMENTS

The Sunset Maintenance Facility HVAC Improvements Project, solicited under RTC ITB No. 24-021CON-2 by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, seeks qualified contractors to remove and replace existing HVAC equipment, integrate supporting systems, and perform site restoration at 5165 W.
