Clearly demonstrate your firm's capacity to perform general construction services within the specified project value range. Highlight your experience with similar projects, especially those involving new work, additions, alterations, maintenance, and repairs of real property facilities.

Be prepared to obtain payment bonds for projects over $35,000. This is a mandatory requirement for consideration. Also, familiarize yourself with the Construction Wage Rate Requirements (formerly Davis-Bacon Act) as each project will incorporate the most current wage determination.
