Bid Tab

This is a bid tabulation sheet for the Virginia Department of Forestry's Nansemond River Mulching Project, which seeks a contractor for tree removal and mechanical forestry mulching services. The project involves clearing brush, invasive species, and 110 marked dead/hazardous trees on an 11.96-acre tract to open an existing trail along the Nansemond River in northern Suffolk. All proposals were submitted between December 3-6, 2024, and all qualifying bidders attended the required site visit.

The bid amounts ranged from $33,488 to $490,000, with RX Fire Effects submitting the lowest responsive and responsible bid at $38,272. The project is designated as a Small Business Set-Aside for awards between $10,000 and $100,000, with priority given to certified small and micro businesses. Several bidders held SWaM certifications (Small, Women-owned, and Micro Business), and bid prices from certified businesses could not exceed 5% of the lowest responsive non-certified bidder's price. One bidder was rejected for insufficient equipment, another for unsigned addendum, and one submission was not considered a bid.
