All work must comply with prevailing wage rates established for the project.

The estimated construction budget is $200,000, which includes a $30,000 owner's contingency. Proposals will be evaluated on price (30 points), experience and reputation (25 points), quality of goods or services (20 points), proposed personnel (15 points), and approach and project execution plan (10 points). The successful offeror must provide a bid bond equal to 5% of the largest possible proposal amount and will execute performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the contract amount within ten working days of board award.

Written questions must be submitted through Bonfire by June 23, 2026 at 2:00 p.m., with addenda issued by June 25, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. A Phase 2 follow-on project for repair of other building envelope and interior elements is anticipated.
