5. Q1: Can a bidding Prime Contractor count the work they would self-perform as part of the 10% MWBE goal, or does it need to be different companies to meet that 10%?

A: If the bidding Prime Contractor is a MWBE or HUB, the self-performed work would count toward the 10%. Just to clarify, the 10% is a genuine goal, but not a requirement.

6. Q2: How can the landscape contractor warranty plant material in areas that are not planned to be irrigated and have no way to hand water to establish?

A: The subcontractor will not be held liable for areas not indicated to have irrigation. If the construction firm wants to insert a hold harmless clause such as the one below, I think it might sway their bidding opinion maybe.

“Hold Harmless and Indemnification Clause The Contractor shall not be held liable for any damages, loss, or injury resulting from, or related to, areas of landscaping not covered or serviced by the irrigation system installed by the Contractor. The Client acknowledges that the irrigation system is designed to cover specific areas as outlined in the project plan, and any areas not covered by the irrigation system are excluded from the Contractor’s responsibility.

The Client agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Contractor, its officers, employees, and subcontractors from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, costs, or expenses, including attorney's fees, arising out of or in connection with any damage or loss to areas not covered by the irrigation system.

This clause applies to any claims for damage or deterioration of landscaping, plant health, or other related issues in areas not directly serviced by the irrigation system”.
