Alternates for equipment or materials may be considered only with prior written approval. Contractors must designate a Superintendent with full authority to act on their behalf and maintain required insurance coverage prior to commencing work. No specific funding codes, payment office details, or electronic invoicing systems are mandated; invoices must be submitted in triplicate with performance certification. There is no defined contract value or pricing data provided in the proposal schedule, as all unit and extended price fields remain blank for bidder completion.
