The contract is lump-sum to a single prime contractor. The contractor must provide performance and payment bonds, insurance certificates, drug and background screening for personnel, and maintain daily construction reports and photographic documentation. The contractor is responsible for all OFCI (Owner-Furnished/Contractor-Installed) product infrastructure installation. The District will furnish and install bathroom accessories and audiovisual equipment.
