Interested firms can contact Charise Stephens, Director of Small Business Affairs, for assistance with the competitive process. The bid requires a 5% bid bond and mandates performance and payment bonds at 100% of the contract price. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including worker's compensation, general liability, and automobile liability. While no specific contract value is explicitly stated, the extensive road work spanning nearly 18 miles suggests a significant infrastructure investment through the Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG) program.
