Bidders must demonstrate a minimum of five years of successful experience on comparable work, provide three current references, maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate, and submit notarized Familial Disclosure and Iran Economic Sanctions Act compliance affidavits.
