- **Major scheduled quantities:** 34 LF of precast box culvert (bid schedule: 12-foot span by 6-foot rise); 1,175 SF of sheet-applied waterproofing membrane; and roadway reconstruction materials, barriers, drainage and erosion-control items.

Requirements include prevailing wages, OSHA 10 compliance, a contractor-obtained county detour permit, and participation goals of 6% SDVOB, 7% MBE, and 11% WBE. Liquidated damages are $1,500 per day when a delay prevents landowners from accessing fields for planting.
- **Estimated value:** Approximately $500,000–$1,500,000; no project value is stated in the provided information.
