Key project deliverables include the new garage with overhead doors, personnel entrances, interior rooms, electrical infrastructure, and heating systems, as well as renovation improvements to the existing structures' exterior, structural elements, power supply, kitchen facilities, HVAC systems, and parking areas. Evaluation of proposals will be weighted as follows: experience and technical approach (20%), project cost (40%), timeliness of completion (35%), and references (5%). Prospective bidders must possess a valid South Carolina Contractor's license, submit comprehensive documentation including a cover sheet, firm experience details, references, bonding and insurance information, and a bid bond equaling 5% of the bid price. The RFP was released on February 25, 2025, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for March 3, 2025, at 12:00 pm, and a proposal deadline of March 24, 2025, at 3:00 pm.

No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the procurement documents. The project is subject to funding availability and appropriation by Greenwood County Council, and no specific budget or award value range is disclosed in the available materials.
