The AE shall evaluate workstations for overall size, technology access to data and power outlets, and efficiency of space layout. The AE shall work closely with the VA to validate which employees claim to own each workstation and work with the VA to assign open workstations with employees who are in need of a space. The AE will work with the VA to create an integrated tool with Revit and Excel so spaces can be tracked and updated over time as staff are always changing.

The AE will work closely with the Medical Center s Integrated Planning Team during the duration of the Project. A Contracting Officer s Representative will be assigned as the primary point of contact for the Project and will be responsible for coordinating reviews, monitoring performance and compliance with technical requirements of the Contract, scheduling site visits and tracking progress to ensure the Project meets all milestones.
