The project requires comprehensive professional services including Phase 500, 600, and 700 services, with specific deliverables such as design development, construction documents, bid advertisement, and construction administration. Proposals will be evaluated by an Ad Hoc Advisory Committee, with 80% weight on the technical proposal and 20% on the cost proposal.

The total construction budget is $1,100,000, with $750,000 allocated for cooler/freezer replacement and $350,000 for roof replacements.
