The estimated period of performance is 275 days for 1 elevator or 520 days for multiple elevators. The magnitude of the project is between $1-5 million, and it is a full and open competition with a NAICS code of 238290. Bonds will be required if the contract exceeds $35,000. A site visit is planned for early August, but attendance is not mandatory. The procurement requires the use of biobased and recycled products to the extent feasible.
