The contract term is 45 calendar days from the Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages assessed at one percent of the total contract value per day for work not completed within this timeframe, and all work must comply with city, county, state, and federal laws, the International Building Code 2018, and specified manufacturer standards.

This project is funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) federal funds, making all applicable federal clauses binding on the contractor, including compliance with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage standards, debarment and suspension requirements, civil rights protections, anti-kickback and anti-lobbying provisions, environmental standards, domestic preference for U.S.-produced materials, and Section 3 of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, which requires prioritizing training and employment opportunities for lower-income residents and awarding contracts to businesses located in or substantially owned by project area residents. The contractor must maintain comprehensive records for three years post-completion, secure all required insurance prior to work commencement, and provide a one-year warranty on all work from the date of final inspection certification. Payment is structured in two phases: progress payment of no more than 55 percent of the contract amount after at least 60 percent of work completion and approval, and final payment upon completion and City acceptance. Award is contingent upon City Council approval, and no contract is effective until signed by all required parties. The contract is subject to Tennessee law and the jurisdiction of Rutherford County courts. While the specific award value is not disclosed in the solicitation documents, the project's estimated budget and the presence of the $750.00 tile and grout allowance indicate a substantial contract value, likely in the range of $50,000 to $150,000 based on the scope of comprehensive interior remodeling work.
