The work includes 34 line items with unit-price components encompassing sedimentation controls, shotcrete applications, 50 passive rock anchors, selective demolition, concrete and masonry work, stone elements, and electrical improvements.

Bid security is five percent of the proposed contract price, acceptable as a bid bond, irrevocable letter of credit, cashier's check, or certified check payable to the City of Siloam Springs. The successful contractor must provide performance, payment, and maintenance bonds within fifteen days of notice of award. Substantial completion is required within 180 calendar days after work commencement, with final completion within 30 days thereafter. Liquidated damages are $1,500 per day for delays.
