Upon award, the successful vendor must provide proof of a valid West Virginia Contractors License; commercial general liability insurance and automobile liability insurance each at a minimum of one million dollars per occurrence; and performance, labor/material payment, and two-year maintenance bonds (the latter if roofing work is impacted), all at one hundred percent of contract value.

The contract carries a local labor market hiring requirement: at least seventy-five percent of employees must be sourced from the local labor market unless workforce waivers are obtained.
