All work must be completed by April 1, 2025, with installation dates to be provided by December 20, 2024. Contractors must complete each opening within one day by 2:20 PM, with a maximum of two openings per day, and are responsible for their own debris removal.

Bidders must submit a 5% bid bond for proposals exceeding $30,512, and successful bidders with proposals of $50,000 or more are required to provide a 100% performance and payment bond. Additional compliance requirements include submitting notarized statements disclosing any familial relationships with school board members or superintendent, and compliance with the Iran Economic Sanctions Act. While no specific budget range is provided, the detailed specifications suggest a substantial project investment.

Contractors interested in bidding must carefully review the detailed specifications, particularly regarding hardware requirements, and are advised to schedule an appointment with the Director of Human Resources for additional hardware specification details.
