The ITB demonstrates a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, though no specific set-aside designations were explicitly detailed in the documents. Bidders must provide insurance certificates, performance bonds, and payment bonds as part of contract requirements. The total estimated project budget is $5,500,000, funded through state general obligation bonds, with the lowest bid received at $3,952,760.25 from R&G Excavating, Inc.
