B. Schedule. Work may begin when the Contractor receives a formal “Notice to Proceed.”

Contractor shall proceed with promptness and dispatch and shall complete the project within 365 calendar days beginning on the day of commencement as stated in a Notice to Proceed.

Contractor must sequence/phase work between both locations. Valley Transit Center (VTC)’s work must begin first and all underground, steel frame structures, concrete placement, etc. must be complete or substantially complete no later than November 1, 2026. Contractor may continue aboveground work after this period, as weather permits, and upon coordination and approval by an authorized Spokane Transit Authority (STA) representative.

Liberty Lake Park and Ride (LLPR) has a different charger support configuration and additional manufacturer coordination requirements. LLPR’s construction must be coordinated around the charging equipment lead time (approximately 36-40 weeks) and weather conditions.

STA anticipates that all OFCI charging equipment will be procured prior to contract award and delivered prior to the start of 2027 construction season.
