Attendance and signature at both the West Flagler location (10:00 a.m.) and West Perrine location (1:00 p.m.) are required for bid responsiveness.

The scope includes a fixed awning extending 4 feet 6 inches from the building facade along 130 linear feet at West Flagler Street (Miami) with an outside edge height of 8 feet 6 inches above finish grade, and six triangular-shaped sails covering a 45-foot by 45-foot courtyard at West Perrine (Miami).

The contract term runs from November 1, 2026, or the purchase order issuance date, whichever is later, through June 30, 2027, contingent on legislative appropriation and satisfactory performance.
