The engineer's estimated project cost ranges from $82,200 to $90,500, providing potential bidders with a clear budget expectation. While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are mentioned in the documentation, the bid appears open to qualified contractors capable of completing the specified park improvement work.

Interested contractors should carefully review the full bid documentation to ensure complete understanding of project specifications and requirements.
