The contract period is tentatively set from November 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, subject to State approval.

The procurement covers jurisdictions including Los Angeles County, Lake Los Angeles CDP, Los Angeles City, and East Los Angeles CDP. Though no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the scope suggests a focused, specialized repair project with potential for precise, targeted funding. The solicitation indicates a preference for contractors with demonstrated expertise in specialized flooring restoration, particularly in high-traffic, public-facing institutional environments like the California Science Center.
