Although details such as the exact location, point of contact, or set-aside provisions are not provided, the scope is clearly defined to ensure the Art Center is restored to a termite-free condition without compromising its structural or artistic components. The work must be completed with minimal disruption to the surrounding environment and in compliance with all applicable environmental and occupational safety protocols.
