Contractors must coordinate with township police, provide 48-hour notice before construction, maintain access for local residents and emergency vehicles, and adhere to safety protocols including wearing safety vests and using appropriate traffic control devices.

A pre-bid Zoom meeting is scheduled, with technical support available at 1-800-835-4603 option #2 for assistance in uploading bid responses.

The bid documents do not indicate specific restrictions on vendor qualifications or enterprise designations. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned in the available materials.
