Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 15, 2026.
- Worth checking: Large project size. The anticipated cost range of $10 million to $20 million means a small business may need strong bonding and cash flow for a year-long job.
- Minor: Planned schedule. The notice gives target months for advertising, bid opening, award and construction; these are planned and may change.
