The contract includes a minimum one-year warranty covering defects in materials, workmanship, fabrication, and installation, with performance evaluated against acceptance criteria and customary industry practices.

Pricing shall be submitted as a firm fixed price covering all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, transportation, fabrication, installation, project management, insurance, permits, and related costs. The initial contract term is one year from the effective date, with the state retaining the option to renew for up to one additional one-year term, with written notice of renewal intent required 60 days before the end of the current term. Contract award is anticipated by December 4, 2026.
