The Pentagon was completed in January, 1943. During the past 60-plus years there have been numerous additions and modifications to the building, but no major renovations. A plan to renovate the Pentagon wedge-by-wedge was approved nearly 10 years ago, and initial work began on Wedge 1 (the first of the building's five, 1 million sq.ft. wedges to be renovated) in January, 1998.
When the request for proposal (RFP) for Wedges 2 through 5 was released from the Pentagon Renovation Office (PENREN), it was obvious the government had decided to take a unique approach to the process. Instead of the design / bid / build method used in the renovation of Wedge 1, PENREN chose to move forward with a Design / Build delivery method. The goal of the program was to develop a contracting method that better controlled cost and schedule over-runs.
