Key deliverables include site preparation, grinding, trimming, leveling, shimming, overlay/paving, manhole adjustments, and shoulder work, with all work to be completed by June 30, 2025. Proposals are due by 3:00 PM on March 14, 2025, and site visits are strongly recommended prior to submission to evaluate access and effort requirements.

Payment terms include compensation within 30 days of invoice submission following satisfactory work completion. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the project involves paving infrastructure at critical municipal facilities including a wastewater treatment facility and pump station. Though a specific budget range is not disclosed, the extensive scope of work across multiple sites suggests a significant infrastructure investment.
