The total project area covers approximately 15,500 square feet across three designated areas. A mandatory site visit is required before bid submission, with appointments scheduled through Cameron Clark at 423-434-5826. The bid submission deadline is Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at 3:30 PM, with bids to be submitted to the Johnson City Purchasing Department at 209 Water Street. Bidders must provide a bid bond of at least 5% of the total bid amount and will be evaluated based on their ability to meet technical specifications, including ASTM F1292 standards for materials and completion of a Critical Fall Height test.

Contractors are required to carry comprehensive insurance, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 CSL), Automobile Liability ($500,000), Umbrella Liability ($5 Million), Builder's Risk/Installation Floater, and XCU Coverage. The successful bidder must provide a Performance and Payment Bond equal to 100% of the bid price within ten working days of contract issuance.

Payment terms are Net 30 days FOB Destination with freight prepaid, and the anticipated contract award date is November 21, 2025. Though a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive insurance and bonding requirements suggest this is a substantial project with potential value likely in the range of $100,000 to $500,000, depending on the chosen resurfacing option and total project scope.
