The award will follow a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, prioritizing responsiveness, compliance with technical specifications, on-time delivery, and overall price competitiveness.

Contractors must certify compliance with E-Verify and Form I-9 requirements and maintain a drug-free workplace, as these may serve as tie-breaking criteria.

All bids must be submitted exclusively through the Euna Procurement electronic portal by the deadline of August 13, 2026, and include attachments detailing sign panel and U post hole specifications.
