All waterfront personnel require Transportation Worker Identification Credentials (TWIC Cards) and MPA identification badges. Key staffing includes a Project Manager with 15 years' construction management experience, a Construction Superintendent with 10 years' heavy construction experience, and a dedicated Health and Safety Officer with 5 years' safety experience. Contractors must comply with chromium ore processing residue (COPR) contaminated-material handling requirements under a site-specific health and safety plan and maintain insurance including Commercial General Liability ($2,000,000 per occurrence), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), and Umbrella Liability ($10,000,000).

The contract term is 1,095 calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with liquidated damages of $1,433 per day for incomplete work.
