What other factors might affect the time needed? 2.Based on the PWS description, how much planning/designing time do you anticipate needing before starting on the installation? Once design/plan is final, how much staging time do you anticipate needing prior to doing a "hard shutdown" and final installation? 3.Can your company provide all of the needed supplies and services to complete the deliverables?
