Key deliverables include the completed fields, specific attic stock for maintenance, a pull-behind magnet, a groomer/sweeper combination machine, and comprehensive maintenance training for district personnel. Contractors must adhere to strict technical standards, including NFHS regulations for field play and ASTM 355 for G-max and HIC testing. The project requires a minimum percolation rate of 20 inches per hour and full ADA accessibility compliance. Bidders must identify their performance base system and obtain pre-approval for any substitutions at least seven days before the bid opening; substitutions must demonstrate over 50 installations within the state. The contract is governed by modified AIA Documents A101 and A201, requiring performance and payment bonds, a 3.5 percent retainage on progress payments, and compliance with the South Carolina Drug-Free Workplace Act. Liquidated damages for delays are specified at 2,500 dollars per day for certain sites.
