The project includes both waterproofing and structural modifications. Once the structural phase begins, the engineer will assess field conditions to determine exact repairs needed.

The opinion of probable construction cost is $200,000.00, with an additional $100,000 not-to-exceed allowance for unknown conditions discovered after selective demolition.

The winning contractor must furnish a performance bond at 100 percent of the contract price, a payment bond at 100 percent of the contract price, and a two-year maintenance bond at 10 percent of the contract price within ten calendar days of award.
