The project requires 100% completion within sixty (60) calendar days, with liquidated damages of $200 per day for delays beyond the specified timeframe. Bidders must possess a current South Carolina General Contractor's License and submit a complete bid forms packet, including documentation such as non-collusion affidavit, anti-lobbying form, legal litigation form, and proof of insurance. A lead-based paint inspection report has been completed, identifying lead concentrations in exterior wood window frames that will require specialized remediation procedures.

The bid forms packet requires extensive documentation, including taxpayer identification, potential backup withholding verification, and certifications regarding lobbying restrictions, debarment status, and maintaining a drug-free workplace. Horry County reserves the right to accept or reject any bid deemed in the best interest of the county, suggesting a comprehensive evaluation process beyond just cost considerations.
