Description

DPW/RCO Construction Industry Day 05 May 2026 Date: 05 May 2026 Time: 09:00 – 12:30 (CET) Location: Hotel Viest, Via Uberto Scarpelli 41 - 36100 Vicenza Response Date (RSVP Deadline, Not Mandatory but highly encouraged): 28 April 2026 The U.S. Army Garrison Directorate of Public Works (DPW) and the 414th Regional Contracting Office (RCO) are hosting a Construction Industry Day to provide a unique opportunity for contractors to engage directly with Government personnel. This event is designed to offer insight into upcoming construction contracts and provide technical and contracting information regarding Government construction requirements. The projects discussed will primarily focus on facility sustainment, renovation, repair, and minor new construction. This event may be of less interest to firms that focus exclusively on large-scale, major new construction programs (i.e., MILCON). This will be a dual-language (English and Italian) event. Government representatives from both the U.S. and Italian staff will be available to answer questions. To facilitate detailed and meaningful technical discussions, we highly encourage companies to send personnel who are directly involved in project execution, such as Project Managers, Site Safety and Health Officers, and Quality Control Managers, in addition to or in place of general business development staff. All interested construction firms are encouraged to attend to better understand how to effectively compete for future contracts and support the mission readiness of our military facilities. 1.

Help industry partners understand how to effectively compete for future contracts and support the mission readiness of our military facilities. 2. Event Format The day will begin with a formal Welcome and Introduction briefing. This initial session will introduce the DPW and RCO teams and provide an overview of the main types and general scope of our construction projects.

Following the introduction, the event will proceed in an open-house format with opportunities for both informal networking and structured learning: Open House Technical Stations: Technical staff from the DPW will host informational stations focused on various construction disciplines (e.g., Elec…
