Requirements for award include providing references from at least three customers for similar work completed within the last five years and a mandatory affirmative response to all quality requirements.

Additionally, the contractor must adhere to prevailing wage rates and comply with the Wage Theft Prevention Certification and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Final acceptance is contingent upon a written certification of substantial completion and a subsequent review by the City within 21 days.
