Site visits and a pre-bid conference were scheduled to allow potential contractors to familiarize themselves with project conditions and clarify technical requirements.

The contract operates under New York City's standard procurement procedures with pricing on a cost-plus-fixed-fee or unit price basis, depending on the specific task orders issued throughout the contract term.
