The project encompasses comprehensive infrastructure improvements including HVAC system replacements, a centralized Building Management System across twelve buildings, site lighting upgrades with motion sensors, circuit breaker installations with phase conversion technology, electric vehicle charging infrastructure with two 50-amp Clipper Creek stations, and a 30-kilowatt rooftop photovoltaic array with battery energy storage.

All pricing must be submitted in U.S. dollars on the designated Bid Form with all costs including delivery incorporated into the firm bid price with no additional charges permitted. The contractor must furnish performance and payment bonds equal to the contract price and maintain comprehensive general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. A $60,000 allowance is provided for unforeseen conditions and owner-initiated changes, with two deduct alternates permitting exclusion of the rooftop photovoltaic system and battery storage or the electric vehicle charging station infrastructure. Work shall be performed between 7:00 AM and 3:30 PM Monday through Friday unless pre-approved otherwise, with liquidated damages of $200 to $500 per working day for failure to meet completion deadlines and five percent retainage on all partial payments held until final project completion.
