The contract is for the furnish and installation of a steel structure, with a scope of work that includes erecting a steel canopy.

The Town had planned to piggyback a contract for demolition services, but this was not included in the scope of work. The procurement process required bidders to have a minimum of five years of experience in erecting steel structures and to possess a valid State of Florida Certified General Contractor license.
