The project involves infrastructure replacement at an existing ski area facility, suggesting potential integration with current mechanical and drainage systems. Though a specific contract value was not explicitly stated, the scope of work implies a moderate-sized infrastructure improvement project focused on upgrading critical ski area utility infrastructure.
