The project is subject to prevailing wage under Davis-Bacon and federal Title VI compliance requirements.

The scope encompasses asphalt planing and overlay, removal and replacement of select concrete panels with base repair, intersection realignment at NE 113th Street, curb bulb installation at NE 114th and NE 115th Streets, ADA-compliant curb ramps, sidewalk removal and restoration, channelization, signing, concrete bike barriers, driveways, traffic signal installation, landscaping, storm drainage, and pedestrian safety improvements.

A bid guaranty of not less than 5% of the maximum bid amount including retail sales tax is required. Bidders must submit a Bidder/Subcontractor List, a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Utilization questionnaire, and a proposal for recycled-materials incorporation as a goal rather than a requirement.
