Project completion is required within 120 days after contract approval by the NYS Comptroller's Office. The main project cost estimate ranges from $641,475 to $867,878, with three alternates: Alternate 1 ($38,250–$51,750), Alternate 2 ($85,000–$115,000), and Alternate 3 ($119,000–$161,000).

Bidders must register with the New York State Bureau of Public Work and Prevailing Wage Enforcement, submit a Gender-Based Violence and the Workplace Certification form, and provide an Executive Order No. 16 certification prior to contract award.
