The project involves comprehensive street resurfacing and accessibility improvements within the Military Plaza neighborhood bounded by Stone Avenue, Toole Avenue, Broadway Boulevard, and 18th Street. Scope of work includes milling and resurfacing approximately 183,650 square yards of roadway using 2 inches of PAG Mix #2 (Low Volume) with PG 76-22TR+ binder, constructing 200 curb access ramps with detectable warning surfaces, and installing 12 speed humps.

The form requires bidders to identify all proposed SBE firms and first-tier subcontractors with contract values of $5,000 or greater, along with their trade classifications and dollar values. The project includes a 4 percent SBE participation goal, with eligible firms limited to those certified by the City of Tucson under Chapter 28, Article XIII of the Tucson Procurement Code. The estimated project cost ranges between $5,000,000 and $10,000,000 and is funded through Proposition 411 with federal ARPA funds, triggering HUD Section 3 workforce provisions requiring 25 percent of labor hours be performed by Section 3 workers.
