Liquidated damages of $200 per workday apply for missed completion dates or deficiency corrections beyond two calendar days. The contractor must provide all labor, materials, equipment, supervision, tools, transportation, and disposal fees.
The contract term is five years commencing upon execution. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on an all-or-none basis.
