Additionally, the project encompasses the installation of structured telecommunications cabling, data communications active infrastructure, audio-video systems, and a digital addressable fire-alarm system. A digital video surveillance system with IP cameras will also be installed and integrated into the existing district system. The contract requires a Class B General Building license and specifies a duration of 172 calendar days. Bids are due by October 28, 2026, and must be submitted as sealed proposals using the district's required forms.

Key requirements include a mandatory job walk on September 23, 2026, a bid security of 10 percent of the maximum offer, and the provision of performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract price. The district has established a 3 percent participation goal for Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises.
