The project is scheduled for substantial completion by December 31, 2025, and final completion by January 31, 2026, with work limited to 8 am - 6 pm, Monday through Friday. Contractors must demonstrate a minimum of five years' experience in similar structural repair projects and provide three favorable commercial customer references.

The City of Bloomington requires a project labor agreement for all public works projects exceeding $50,000, though this requirement may be waived if determined not to advance the City's interests in cost, efficiency, quality, safety, timeliness, and labor stability. Project labor agreement terms cannot exceed Illinois Prevailing Wage Act standards and cannot mandate union membership or fair share payments. The contract includes a five-year warranty on materials and a one-year warranty on workmanship. Contractors must obtain necessary licenses and permits, provide comprehensive safety measures, and submit personnel for security background checks at least 14 days before project commencement. The form itself serves as a template for documenting cost estimates and pricing justification, requiring attachment of supporting documentation such as published list prices, historical pricing data, comparable purchases by other agencies, engineering estimates, third-party estimates, or evidence of preestablished pricing resulting from competition.
