The contract does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. The project is funded through federal and state sources, which typically encourage small business and disadvantaged enterprise participation, though no mandatory requirements are specified in the provided documentation. The project will be engineered by Century West Engineering and is estimated to involve comprehensive surface treatment work with potentially significant infrastructure investment. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the detailed technical specifications and grant funding suggest a substantial project investment, likely in the range of $250,000 to $500,000. The contract includes standard FAA provisions requiring comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1,000,000 in combined single-limit liability, and will involve 5% retainage on partial payments.
