The City will handle draining, bypassing facilities, and coordinating valve operations and vacuum truck services.

The contract time to Substantial Completion is 270 consecutive calendar days from Notice to Proceed, with an additional 30 days to Final Completion. Bid pricing is structured as lump sum in Part A (mobilization, general and specific conditions, and sitework) and unit pricing in Part B (sandblasting, coating application, and concrete repair items) across all three facility locations.
