The scope of work is comprehensive, covering civil, architectural, structural, MEP, IT, AV, security, and landscaping services. Key deliverables include a facility with a metal roof and wall paneling, interior spaces such as offices, a locker room with showers, and a conference room, as well as site improvements including ADA compliant walkways, a metal canopy parking structure with electric vehicle charging stations, and a new natural gas generator. The contract requires the use of Trimble cloud-based software for project documentation and adherence to strict quality standards, including the 2012 Texas Accessibility Standards and NECA electrical guidelines. Bidders must demonstrate a good faith effort to meet a 12 percent M/WBE participation goal; failure to submit a completed M/WBE Utilization Plan will result in a bid being deemed non-responsive.

The contractor is also responsible for providing trench safety and traffic control plans, as well as posting a performance bond for storm water quality structural controls.
