Bidders must be registered with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board and provide evidence of a qualified drug testing program. While no specific set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned, the procurement includes prevailing wage requirements and mandates performance and payment bonds. The project will be funded by the City of Ashland and involves coordination with local utilities like Ashland Electric, with provisions for future infrastructure connections.
