The electrical engineer of record is Patrick Posey Associates, Inc., Baltimore. Coordination with Pepco for service entrance modifications is required. All materials must be UL-listed, completely new, and free from defects. The contractor must submit manufacturers' lists, shop drawings, product data, and test reports for approval before installation.

The contract term runs from June 26, 2026 through September 25, 2027. All equipment and workmanship carry a one-year unconditional guarantee, with a two-year correction period extending from substantial completion. Bidders must maintain comprehensive business insurance with minimum limits of $500,000 bodily injury and $100,000 property damage, provide workers' compensation proof, and furnish performance bonds if required within ten business days of award.
