Key deliverables include complete electrical system infrastructure renovation, with specific requirements for underground conduit installation at minimum 36-inch depth, utility tracing, and precise site preparation. A mandatory pre-bid walk-through occurred on May 14, 2018, with electronic bids due on May 23, 2018, at 2:00 pm local time. Contractors must provide 5% bid security, trace existing utilities, and comply with detailed technical specifications for electrical infrastructure. Project contact Jesse Sullivan from William A.

The contract does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The project timeline spans from October 8, 2018, to June 14, 2019, with a total estimated electrical service load of 800A. Financial components include a $10,000 allowance for utility work and a $20,000 contingency allowance. While specific budget ranges are not definitively stated, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure improvements suggests a significant capital investment.
