In general, this project will consist of renovating the Pueblo El Centro del Quinto Sol Recreation Center as detailed in the plans and specifications for this project. Specifically, there are three major scopes of work for this project. The first is renovating the basement space to convert it into a cooking class/event space for the public. Second is upgrading the HVAC system by installing new RTU's on the roof along with split systems and electric baseboard heaters around the building. Lastly, before any construction takes place the building must be abated. The asbestos report details the areas of the building that came back positive.

The abatement will need to be coordinated so that all areas affected by the renovations are free of asbestos.

No allowances shall be made by reason of any matter or thing concerning which they might not have been fully informed prior to the bidding. No Bidder will be heard after the opening of bids to assert that there was any misunderstanding as to the nature of the operation expected in this solicitation. If a pre‐bid meeting is held, Bidders should make every effort to attend. If the pre‐bid meeting is mandatory and the Bidders cannot attend, it is imperative that someone else attend as a representative of the company, otherwise, their bid will not be accepted at the time of bid opening.
