Existing-infrastructure repairs are excluded from the base scope and require separate authorization; video inspection and written cleaning reports are not required. - Other notable requirements: The project has a 7% MBE participation goal and requires bonding. Work must comply with applicable building and health codes. - Schedule: Work begins after contract execution and Notice to Proceed; the project allows 14 calendar days after substantial completion for final acceptance.
