Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience and submit comprehensive documentation including certifications, affidavits, and insurance certificates.

Bidders must register on the procurement portal and "follow" the project to receive addenda notifications and be eligible to submit a bid.
The project is funded through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and includes specific federal contracting regulations requiring compliance with equal opportunity provisions, minority and women business enterprise guidelines, and Davis-Bacon Act standards. Bidders must provide a 5% bid bond, a performance bond for 100% of the contract price, and a payment bond for 100% of the contract price.
