The State will pre-approve specific paint brands and colors before work begins, and contractors should not assume a particular brand preference when developing cost estimates. Water and electricity access will be provided at no cost to the contractor. If weekend work is scheduled, operations management will coordinate access to restricted areas such as the elevator shaft. The evaluation criteria are cost (30 percent), experience and qualifications (20 percent), project timeline (20 percent), and communication and customer service (30 percent).
