The selected firm may be required to provide up to ten (10) printed copies of the report for the City's use and review and will be required to provide the final report and recommendation on a USB flash drive.

The actual scope of work in subsequent phases will depend on the final repair program selected, the annual construction budget allocation and the anticipated construction schedule.
