Bidders must propose truck-mounted melters of at least 250 gallons capacity, air compressors capable of 100 cubic feet per minute at 90 pounds per square inch, hand-cart equipment for limited-access areas, and a minimum of four workers per shift. Prevailing wage compliance is mandatory, with hourly wage rates ranging from approximately $37.53 to $125.77 depending on trade classification.
