Repairs must restore containers to original specifications and include a minimum 90-day warranty on structural repairs and 1-year warranty on new fabrication. Bidders must provide three references for contracts performed within the last five years.

This is a unit-price bid contract with the City assigning quantities based on funding allocation or availability. The contract runs through September 30, 2027. Pricing is requested across 14 line items.
