The contract is structured as a single-year engagement with potential for future annual renewals based on satisfactory performance.

Pricing for this contract is based on lump sum proposals submitted by bidders for all nine dam locations. Contractors must meet strict qualification criteria and provide comprehensive documentation including company background, project experience, references, safety records, and a detailed project schedule. The evaluation will use a 100-point scoring system with equal weighting (20 points each) for cost, project experience, references, RFP responsiveness, and safety record.
