Completion deadline is 120 calendar days after receipt of the Notice to Proceed. Site access is coordinated through the Public Works shop entrance and rear field gate; contractors must schedule access at least 48 hours prior to mobilization. Equipment requirements include cranes, articulating aerial lifts, skid steers, chippers, chainsaws, dump trucks, and support vehicles; equivalent equipment is acceptable upon City approval. The contractor shall provide daily progress updates if requested and complete a final walkthrough with the City's Project Manager, addressing all punch-list items before project completion.
