The project scope encompasses extensive site development, including clearing and grubbing, demolition, grading, flatwork construction, retaining wall installation, asphalt paving, pedestrian bridge construction, park and playground development, signage, striping, lighting installation, landscaping, and irrigation system implementation. Bidders will be evaluated across three primary criteria: price (40 points), project schedule (20 points), and related experience (40 points).
