The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though bidders must certify compliance with federal civil rights laws and anti-discrimination requirements. Contractors are prohibited from subcontracting without prior written consent, and the County reserves the right to reject any or all bids based on price and other relevant factors. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the services suggests a potentially significant annual contract value covering multiple infrastructure and maintenance needs. Bidders must submit vendor data forms, professional reference sheets with a minimum of three references, and acknowledgment of any addenda. The County will issue purchase orders for individual project sites, and contractors must commence work within 15 calendar days of purchase order issuance.
