2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Scope of Work includes, but is not limited to the following:

• New concessions/locker rooms building

• Stadium and Site Lighting

• New utilities work

• Concrete and Asphalt

• As shown on the drawings and described herein. All demolition, architectural, civil, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, and plumbing work will be the responsibility of the general/prime contractor.

• Coordination of Synthetic turf field and track installation. Synthetic Turf and Track Surface by Owner through Cooperative Purchasing. FieldTurf is the Synthetic Turf Contractor.

• Coordination of Grandstands/Pressbox installation. Grandstands and Pressbox by Owner through Cooperative Purchasing. GT Grandstands is the Grandstands and Pressbox Contractor.

1 All costs for overtime, weekend work, or additional manpower shall be included in the Base Bid, as required to meet the project schedule/timeline as outlined herein. Contractor is responsible for Winter Conditions till March 13, 2026. Additional Winter Conditions provisions after March 14, 2026 will be an allowance draw as approved by the owner/architect.

2 All work shall be under Prime Contractor. All demolition, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and roofing work is a part of the Prime Contractor’s responsibility.

3 The Contractor shall field verify all existing electrical and mechanical piping and conduit runs and all other associated MEP & FP items, such as fire alarm, H.V.A.C. controls, security systems wiring, etc. not only within and adjacent to the project area, but also any electrical runs, controls, gas lines, sprinklers, etc. that feed other areas within the building. The field verification shall be conducted prior to the start of this project and coordinated with the schools’ daily schedule, which may include, but is not limited to, evening and weekend hours. (See Article 6.9)

4 The “Time Schedule” for this work is very critical. When submitting a bid the Prime Contractor agrees they can meet the completion requirements. The bidder agrees they have adequate staff and financial resources to complete the project on time. The bidder further agrees they have included any premium necessary to have workers on overtime, multiple working shifts, holidays, ARCON 24125 A2-2 INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS weekends or any other arrangement to adequately man the project to meet the schedule. The Prime Contractor further agrees they will place a Project Superintendent from his staff full time on the project. In addition, the Project Superintendent must be on site any time any subcontractors are on site. Failure to maintain a full time Project Superintendent on the site from start to final acceptance will be reason for the Owner to deduct from the contract amount all costs of services if the Owner and/or Architect decide any other services are required to complete the project in an orderly and timely manner.

5 There are Liquidated Damages Provisions for the Substantial Completion of this project, due to the critical time schedule. (See Article 17)

6 The School District may elect to interview the Contractor after bids are received as part of the award process.

7 The Contractor is notified that Allowances are included in this project. See Specification

Section 01 21 02.

8 The Contractor must include in his bid a full-time Foreman to always be on-site when work is occurring. A Project Superintendent / Project Manager must also be available for weekly OAC meetings, and as requested by the Owner / Architect for additional scheduled meetings during the project.

9 The Contractor agrees by submitting a bid that he has included adequate safety precautions and protection to insure safe conditions for the building occupants during the entire project. The Prime Contractor shall cooperate with the Owner at all times and coordinate construction work to maintain the safety, health, and welfare of students, staff, workers and other contractors. The Prime Contractor alone is responsible for safety on this project.

10 The expectation is that the Contractor shall order all necessary project materials upon submittal(s) approval.
