Contractors must hold a current state or county contractor license (Certified General Contractor, Certified Building Contractor, Certified Residential Contractor, or Specialty Contractor for fence installations) and demonstrate a minimum of two years of experience in similar work. All necessary county and local permits, Florida Building Code compliance, and OSHA compliance are the contractor's responsibility.

The contractor must commence work within 30 calendar days of receiving the Purchase Order or Notice to Proceed and complete the project within 30 calendar days. Required insurance includes Commercial General Liability ($1 million per occurrence), Automobile Liability ($1 million combined), and Workers' Compensation or proof of exemption.
