Prior to award, the successful contractor must execute the Contract Agreement (Exhibit 3) and Assignment (Exhibit 4), provide a Performance Bond and Labor and Materials Payment Bond each at 100 percent of the contract sum, and submit a Certificate of Insurance with endorsement page.

The proposal budget estimate is $250,000. The contract term is 240 calendar days, with substantial completion required within 210 calendar days of the Notice to Proceed and final completion within 30 days thereafter. The estimated Notice of Award and bid tabulation will be posted on or before August 18, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. (EST) on the District Four lettings page.
