Each installation includes concrete pad construction, perimeter fencing with lockable gates, and electrical and plumbing work. The amendment reschedules all site visits to Tuesday, December 2, 2025, with staggered start times at each location (1:30 p.m., 2:00 p.m., 2:30 p.m., and 3:00 p.m.), with each session lasting approximately 30 minutes.
