No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the documentation. All bidders must submit detailed product specifications, complete literature, descriptions of trucks and dispensing apparatus, proof of prevailing wage compliance, non-collusion declarations, and certifications including drug-free workplace compliance and debarment status through the County's OpenGov eProcurement Portal. Contractors must maintain appropriate insurance coverage including Workers' Compensation and Commercial General Liability, comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, and submit Material Safety Data Sheets for hazardous materials as applicable. The County reserves the right to periodically test material concentrations using a Refractometer and refuse any material not meeting specifications.
