Prevailing wage regulations will apply, and the contract may be subject to adjustments based on changes in quantities or site conditions. Although a specific total contract value is not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the maintenance contract and the coverage of seven municipal generators suggests a substantial potential award value that would be attractive to qualified municipal equipment maintenance providers.
