The project scope includes the installation of reinforced concrete pads, 50 amp electrical service, a 1,000 gallon concrete holding tank, and a domestic drinking water well. The estimated value of the contract ranges from 25,000 to 100,000 dollars, with a required completion timeframe of 180 calendar days and a performance period scheduled from March 3, 2015, to August 31, 2015.
