The Owner will occupy adjacent building portions during construction, requiring careful coordination to minimize disruption and maintain emergency egress routes.

The construction cost estimate is $5.4 million. Substantial completion is required by July 30, 2027, with liquidated damages at $1,000 per day for delays beyond that date. The contractor must provide a bid bond equal to 5% of the bid amount on AIA Document A310-2010 and performance and payment bonds of 100% of the contract sum on AIA Document A312-2010 forms within ten business days of contract receipt. A Health Insurance Statement of Compliance Form is required prior to issuance of the Notice to Proceed.
