Bidders submitting proposals over $100,000 must provide 100% Performance and Labor and Material Payment Bonds, and those over $500,000 must provide on-site field supervision and perform at least 15% of management and construction work with their own employees.

Financial requirements include maintaining liquid assets equal to at least 5% of the base bid amount. No federal funds are directly applied to the project, though state funds will be used for federal match purposes. The contractor must submit comprehensive documentation including weekly construction logs, a pre-construction site video, an as-built survey with AutoCAD files, and operations and maintenance documentation prior to final payment.
