Specific deliverables include installing new door hardware, security glazing, floor and wall finishes, performing painting, tuckpointing, crack repairs, brick replacements, and expansion joint work. A mandatory pre-bid conference was held on September 18, 2017, at 9:30 AM, with electronic bids due on September 27, 2017, at 2:00 PM. The project has phased completion dates, with masonry repairs required by February 9, 2018, sliding security entrances to be completed within 14 days during fall/winter third shift, and entrance door replacements due by June 29, 2018. Contractors must submit a 5% bid guarantee and provide performance/payment bonds for bids exceeding $50,000, with liquidated damages set at $500 per calendar day past substantial completion.

The state has incorporated specific set-aside provisions for this contract, including preferences for Qualified Disabled Veteran (QDV) businesses and Michigan-based businesses for bids over $100,000. Contractors must maintain specific insurance requirements, including $1,000,000 commercial general liability coverage per occurrence, vehicle liability, and worker's compensation insurance.
