Detailed modifications include 23/32" to 3/4" plywood interior coverage, specific door and window opening dimensions (80" door height, 32" door width, 24"x24" window openings), and installation of protective angle iron around openings.
The bid requires a 120-working-day validity period, which cannot be reduced to 30 days due to monthly District Board of Trustees approval processes.

On the exterior of the window and doors, we need small angle or channel iron installed on the top, bottom and one side. This is to allow us to close off doors and/or windows as needed. The provider should provide PTP or marine plywood cut for each opening.
